What did you do to Your Tri-Glide Today?

[msocko3]

Watch that tether closely, they tend to break easily.

:Agree: Been a few folks with cracked tour-paks when it does break.

Well Sunday, I replace the teather on the tour pack with the retractable one from Harley. I put on fender bras and a tank bra. I also installed a luggage rack on the tour pack. Last but not least I installed a lift kit from Dennis, TGlide Stuff. Whew what a day, time to ride!!!

Did you leave any paint showing?

I did the retractable tether on my 2012 TG, but due to all the concerns about it, I also installed a chain back up tether that someone had posted that they did. For $3 it was VERY heavy duty. Don't know if I can to the same on the 2014 - probably not.

 

[DTR 11TG]

Ordered the Legend Air kit for the rear and the Progressive Monotubes for the front. Now if I only had some decent brakes ...

nevtat, are you going to install these goodies yourself, if so keep us updated on how the installs went. I have the Legends kit, but haven't installed yet and have been thinking of getting something like the Progressive stuff for the front. Let us know how your TG rides & handles after the install. ThumbUpepper:

Finally took it out of it's winter hibernation. Gave it a lemon pledge shine, installed my RZ seat and new LRS windshield. Was about to start putting on some chrome goodies I bought over the winter, but my chest pain said "that's enough for today buddy", don't want to wind up in the hospital again. Oh yah, started it up too, man that felt good.

 

[Jerry/MD]

Installed a Lift Kit from DK Customs and proceeded to take the BSR for a 175 mile ride.

 

[ELVISTO]

I had a day in the Welsh mountains, I'm sure my TG rides some of the bends faster than solo riders, seemed to be catching a lot up without trying

This past weekend I installed a chain back up on my'14 tour pac like I did on my previous bike.
Fabricated an aluminum bracket for the lower end then attached some screen door chain to it. Since I couldn't get to the top bracket because of the lid organizer(too last to remove it) I hooked the top end of the chain to one of the organizers pockets. Now I have complete piece of mind against the tether breaking. I even kept the chain a little shorter so the lid doesn't open as far as it did. With the luggage rack on the top, it is very heavy. ThumbUp

Also installed my "crotch cooler" and Zumo back up bracket - leaving for Rolling Thunder Thursday morning so I really need that since the Harley GPS system can't do what I want it to do....what it should do.

That is one thing I've noticed about most factory GPS's, they just don't do as well as my Garmin. The year before last when I rented that 2012 Wing which came with GPS, I wasn't impressed. Maybe had I had it long enough to learn any tricks it might have I might have thought different.

Just put on a "new" set of rear shocks by Progressive. While doing that, might as well put on some Brake Pads. Only down about 70% but what the heck. Have only 10,000 miles on them. I do use the rear brakes a lot but also the fronts.
EBC brake pads for sure.:Coffee:

 

[3rdwheel]

Well, now I can at least be legal when my trike gets here. I took (and passed) the State safety course over the weekend. In the course, there were 3 married couples with 3 new TriGlides taking the course together. Yes, they all did pass as well, and no fighting even! Glad that is behind me now. On the way there Friday afternoon, I did stop at a Harley dealer and get the automatic garage door opener system. For testing purposes, they had a Suzuki C-50/Lehman. Not a bad machine for a small course. I also got to ride with a sidecar unit that I got to “fly” (on purpose) through the course circle and maintain the balance. My wife told me we wouldn’t ever be doing that.

Over the weekend test drove my 2014 Tri Glide after replacing the complete exhaust system with V&H. No cat converter! Also a new turner, stage one breather, and dyno. It drove and sounds great.

 

[WASMYTRIKE]

Watched my wife (who just got her license) ride off on my (used to be mine) new 14 Tri Glide.

Oh Well, I can still ride my '05 Ultra Classic! I am happy for her...

Yep your done riding the trike now, heck it sounds like a good excuse to pick up another one.

Hmmmmm.......I Never thought of that!!!!!!!!!!!!

like, maybe a 2015 in a few months?

 

[Shriner Jim]

Yesterday I installed a set of SE Street Cannons and adjusted my clutch. Being unhappy with the clutch, I adjusted it again today and changed the primary fluid. All seems ok.

 

[Sully]

Added some chrome to my fenders.

"Anything" can be twisted into this with enough effort and imagination....

 

[briar]

Paid for it and brought it home.

 

[ELVISTO]

Well, congratulations Briar,

I set up the bluetooth on my phone and headset,

 

[chiefbuc]

I did my first 1000 mile service. Glad to get all the fluids changed and everything checked. Now it's time to put some real miles on my 2014 TG.

How many miles on that '11?

 

[DK Custom Products]

How many miles on that '11?

A few miles shy of 50,000

I had no intention of trading it in, but a local dealer offered me such a good trade-in # that it made sense to do it.

Yeah, I spent a few hours today pulling off all my extras from the 2011. Took it in and did the trade this afternoon. But they were not finished with the Dealer Prep on the '14, so will be going back on Friday to pick it up.

I cleaned a week's worth of bugs off the fairing and windshield and installed heat reflective material to the bottom of the seat and on the inside of the side covers.

 

[chiefbuc]
