Just ordered Zooks rake kit and am anxious to receive and have installed.

 

[RcSuD]

My Evolution HD spring arrived from Dennis yesterday, went in the box with the Barnett Clutch and Hayden tensioner. Sure hope I get some warm weather in March to install it all, plus all the other bits and pieces I have been ordering over the long cold Canadian winter.

Would love that rake kit but with the Canadian dollar slipping down to the 90 cent range, things are getting more expensive.

The entire atmosphere has changed...big improvement. Lots more inventory. I have not purchased a bike there since the change over, but I have purchased some parts. Parts guys are more knowledgeable, more helpful, and generally easier to work with.

I also have not gotten any service work done, but I did spend about 45 minutes with the new service manage. We will be renting their dyno for a full day sometime in February to test out a bunch of parts. This is the first time we will be renting this dyno room...previously we did not feel comfortable with the service department to work with them on their dyno.

So far, everything about the change has been good for us.

[Tuccandler]

Finally getting a performance exhaust from Freedom performance exhaust. Old system is off, new system and a TTS Flash by end of week. Putting on the Racing True Dual System.

 

[TheBobs]

Actually Saturday. Met up with a buddy and rode 150 mile round trip to pick up a case of wine. It was about 60 degrees for the ride!

 

[ELVISTO]

I was up early, off to the dealers to get my recalls fixed, oh just the water filler neck, wasn't leaking !

Had a mph speedo fitted, it came with the wrong one, New left hand switch assembly, the volume button had a fault,

Then they fitted my new faring mirrors with the chrome covers and side flashers, very nice too,certainly finish it off, now the handlebars are less cluttered, and i can see more to the rear now, big improvement

The loaned me a brand new V Rod special for the day, I enjoyed riding the bike, makes a nice change, and if I was in the market ,i'd buy one, I think

 

[RcSuD]

Tried to fix my brakes, couldn't, so I made my horn louder.:xzqxz:

 

[Harley Don]

Added the E-Glide goodies tour pack brace. Now don't have to worry about an expensive fix to the tour pack.

 

[bobknife]

got a cup and gps mount cheap, I wasn't sure what to get, guess time will tell if i made right purchase anyone know the best brand for the money?

 

[GARYD]

On my '12 TG I had the Harley GPS fairing mount and a Kruiser Kaddy drink holder on the right side handlebar. Had no place to put the CB hand mike bracker because of the reverse control. With the '14 TG I think I can put the CB bracket back on the left handlebar and the drink holder back on the right side. Since I ride solo I can also put a bottle in the leather saddlebags on either side. ThumbUp

 

[Sloufoot]

I put the lower mounted one from Harley that mounts off the front down tubes on the frame. It sets just behibd the left glove box in the lowers. Works great.
It does eventually pick up some heat from the engine area, but no more than siting in the sun behind the windshield.

Finally, someone that actually installed one of these. I was always under the impression that that was the worst place to mount a drink holder - right next to the engine. Looks like I maybe wrong. ThumbUp
Don't know about your comparrison though. What if it isn't sunny out?
I notice a lot of my riding friends do not have insulated bottles, just a regular plastic bottle.....usually water.
I still think it is too hot in that location - unless you have a really good insulated cup.
Does it block the lower fairing pocket? It looks like it does from your picture.

I like my drinks up on the handlebars where it's easy to reach without taking my eyes off the road. I guess after you get use to it being there, you don't need to look.
At least it's on the "coolest" side of the engine.

I had this type drink holder. Now a shelve is holding the drink holder. Most of my drink went on me and bike. I did not like the setup.

well today in MD it' 34 degrees and I just spent the la ast 4 hours shoveling the 16" we got. But to do that, I had to walk pass the Trike, say few curse words and proceed out to the driveway..check out my hot tub today.

 

[tom w]

nothing ! its too depressing. im not going into the garage till the temp is above 40. I will just stay in my room with my coco and Prozac.

I have that problem if I put in a drink with a straw in a full cup. I mainly carry my coffee in it anyway, or a bottle drink like pop. If you are in stop & go traffic, you need to have coffee for sure! While out just bombing around there is a new one iced down in a cooler in the tour pac anyway.

 

[Krautster]

I walked past it, looked outside, all the snow was melting... be rideing next week.. in the 60s all week

Dennis, I have an insulated bottle that has a push button hinged lid with a rubber straw under the lid - NOTHING LEAKS OUT OF THAT.

I just found a larger bottle on Amazon that works great in my holder.

One thing you can't put in it is carbonated beverages - don't ask me how I found that out. Fire hose come to mind. :laugh:

BTW, do you think you will have a tour pac spacer in the future? I'm assuming the frame lift kit will still work on the new 2014 frame. Right?

Well, today I finished installing my Wards Werks FCS fans and re-installed my mini-Beast horn.

Then I pulled the fairing off, pulled the worthless air temp gauge out and moved the amp gauge into it's place (damn wish I had smaller hands sometimes). Tomorrow I'm installing the oil temp sensor and mounting the oil temp gauge above the oil pressure gauge and buttoning up the faring.

Going to do a bunch of reading before attempting to install the Jagg oil cooler.

Wondering if all this will make it run cooler ?????

RODE IT ! 54 degrees finally!

 

[arnie]

I took my 11 triglide & swapped it for a 14 triglide!I should get it in a couple weeks,....very long weeks.

 

[tom w]

good deal!!! new season ...new trike... lucky man.epper:

Arnie, I have it worse. I already have my '14 is in my garage, but I can't get it out because of the 5' of snow in front of the door from all the snow storms we had. I don't think I will be able to get it out until April......unless we get more snow!

All I can do is go out once in a while and just look at it and dream about actually riding it someday. epper:

 

[arnie]

GaryD I know what you mean by the snow.I had to get the snowblower out yesterday morning & blow a lil over a foot out of the driveway so i could get the trike & trailer out of the garage.This has been one bad winter!

 

[sparky1597]

52 degrees yesterday. Rode it around the neighborhood for about 2 miles!!! Can hardly wait for a good rain to get the salt/brine off the road, oh, wait, 1" today, but, back into teens and single + below zero next week!!
