Has anyone cammed the 14 yet? if so tell us about it
I've read of a few 2014 water heads being cammed, here are a couple dyno sheets I've come across. I wouldn't expect large gains on the water head vs the non water heads.
Finally got around to doing a VTune this last couple of days with a lot of help from Wiz. Did 2 Vtunes and generated a new Map. Downloaded it and took the trike for a ride. Wife and I tanked it up and then took her 100 miles, fueled it again and was pleasantly surprised at the 39.75 MPG.

I have had the Road Tech Zumo 665 since we purchased the 13 TG. I have the XM Sirius subscription and have lost signal so much, I finally decided to relocate the receiver puck to the top of the tour pak. Had to purchase the extension cord from Garmin $18. I located the puck to the front left of the tour pak so the wire goes under passenger backrest. Now I have a very strong signal even in the garage. Never had that before. We have only carried luggage on the rack once, so figured if we do carry anything on the rack we may loose signal depending on the size. But over all much better reception now the puck is out of the bat cage.
Bought a new LED Oil Temp/Level dip stick today. Also bought a trike cover.
Keep your receipt on the Dip Stick, Alot of guys have reported them failing. Hopefully you got a good one. Where did you get the cover ? are you happy with it ?
I bought a cover from Cruiser Customizing that I am very happy with. Here's the same one on Amazon for a few dollars less.

Changed the oil on mine today. Got almost 1,000mi on since the engine rebuild. Didn't see any metal shavings so that's a good sign. Hopefully it will be ok this time.
Thanks for the tip, I checked it but it doesn't fit the TriGlide. looks good and a good price.
Bought extended warranty for my Triglide Friday.
I think Amazon is messed up. I used the number from my sales receipt to find it. The exact same number as that one on Amazon.
This is off my receipt:
Trike Cover - Cranberry over Black
Item# BBP-4-465AB
Got cover at Harley Dealer.
Installed a GPS on the left and XM Radio on the right.
like to know more about the dip stick. did it work and price and where to get one .

Picked it up from the dealer after they had to replace the front rocker gasket due to a leak.

I also have one and love the convenience. Yes a little pricey, but cheaper then an oil temp gauge.
I have the cover also, but have only used it once or twice - too much of a hassle to use every day. I just throw a couple bed sheets over it.
Long term storage, yes I would use it for that.

Had wife pickup rear brakes for her 2011 T-glide .(HD=hundred dollars) My take on the rear brakes , not very good , cheap and under size for what its stopping. (MO) 12000 mi. on it and brakes worn to within 1/32" , maybe less on inside pad , outer pad maybe to within 3/32". Just in case you do your own work don't forget to back off parking brake shaft before trying to push in caliper piston , a little something they don't quite explain in the FSM . Also don't screw it in to far with out it being mounted , you can push piston out completely , that is non-repairable according to FSM, as in get your wallet out . Put Dennis' t-glide shock mounts on and t-pak rails on for her too , that was simpler than it looked , except for the 4 trunk bolts through the floor ,3 out of the 4 welded nuts broke loose from their welds . I repaired all 4 on reassembly . Ps went to a Moto Guzzi rally in West Field NY, this past wk-end with my neighbor , great people them Guzzi people . That's all for now ,Greg
I installed . my clutch wiz. with out any problemsThumbUp seems to work great.

I installed the Comfort Lift from DK Customs a couple days ago, and have been riding on smooth to bumpy, straight and twisty roads, and WOW what a difference.
On the bumpy unlevel county roads it handled great, and on the better state roads it was like floating on a cloud, but very hands free stable. Then yesterday I detailed Betty up real nice because a bunch of us were going for a Texas country tour today, but at 6AM I get a call----cancelled because of rain. DRAT, I guess we will go next weekend since I'm the only one of the group retired. So it will be riding solo until then. Now I just ordered a bunch of "Bling" as the kids call it" for Betty. Gotta keep the lady happy with some nice Trike jewelery. She is so purrty.

I bought a cover from HD when I bought my triglide a month ago. I bought the indoor and outdoor cover as I have no garage here at my place. Just a car port. Here in the NW, have a lot of Fir trees and get a lot of Fir needles, sap plus the normal rainy storms. So the outdoor cover will find a lot of use. Going for a test ride today as it was late last night when I finished getting all of the exhaust buttoned up. Put on the Fullsac header pipe. Fit like it should. Started it up to hear the new sound, a little deeper but out on the road should be the real test. There might be a little more get up and go but wanted to get that CAT off. It was burning up my foot. May think about doing the extended floor broads next.
Did you have to buy the FullSac extension to use on the trike? Reason I ask is I have a set off my 2014 FLHXS that I want to put on. Did you stay with the stock mufflers? Tony

Always good to hear how folks are enjoying the Comfort Lift. ThumbUp
When I purchased the header, I told them I was going to put them on a trike and they sent the extension with the set. I did try to put the old extension on as it was chrome but it was really too tight so I put the new extension on. Easier. I had the V&H triglide deluxe mufflers put on when I bought the triglide. They have oval tips and less problems of scraping. They are ok. I like rhineharts. But the header allowed the mufflers come alive a little bit. So I will see how I will like them as time goes on.
Went on a test ride this morning for a couple hours. Like the headers. A little get up and go. I like it. And less heat coming off the right side. Didn't have that "heel of my boot cooking" thing.
Nice UPS man brought us a chrome bumper today which my wife and I promptly installed. Looks nice.
Installed Moore Sensible Products Remote Oil Filter Kit Part #RF6-09+ with K&P Engineering’s reusable oil filters with chrome housing. I'll post a picture tomorrow.

Very cool! We are playing around with different remote oil filter projects.
Good choice on the reusable oil, they make a difference, and if you ride a lot, they are more economical also.

I like using the reusable filter for the main reason I can look inside the filter to hopefully see how clean the oil is.
This remote system works very well. Only concern I have is it rides very close to the side plate. I'll most likely put a small piece of clear 3M vinyl where it touches the panel. I might mention that my side panel on the left side does not fit as well as the right side panel and this is the main reason it touches. This winter I'll take it apart and have the pieces powder coated black. I also wish they had a mounting system that mounted to the down tubes near the shift linkage. This would get the filter away from the side panel.
If someone can tell me why these pictures are rotated wrong please PM. They are orientated correctly on my computer.
