What did you do to Your Tri-Glide Today?

[MDO]

Nice tire. After you break in in, let us know what you think. I have the standard AV71 on my short list, as they don't make the trike only tire for the Freewheeler.

Weather finally allowed me to take Harley's Pre-Rushmore Sundowner Smooth Deep Bucket Demo Seat for a ride. This one is Part Number 52093-08A and it has a wider riders (16") and passengers (14") seat than the Sundowner Rushmore Model. Much deeper rear pocket that nicely supports the tuchus and is comfortable to the tailbone area. Was able to get a 196 mile ride this afternoon

Miles

Pot 473 miles on Sunday including a roadside replacement of my shift lever. I carried the one I remove when I did the heel shift delete. Going to reinstall with red Loctite this time. Blue didn't hold. Is there a lever that won't fall off? I am thinking about drilling the bolt for a safety wire.

Busy Weekend

I had a very busy weekend beginning Thursday night. did the teardown for R&R of new 12" Mayhem bars and ended with installation of a decatted stock headpipe. A few takeaways from the handlebar war as in the handlebars and wiring harnesses being at war with each other. The bars won. For some reason I thought I could fish everything inside the bars. Not saying it can't be done, just not by me. Also, the TBW and right switchpack wiring harnesses are extremely tough. Had I not wasted 6 hours on trying to be Mr. Wiring ninja I would have had the whole job done in about 4 hours. In the end, I went external with the right side wire harness and the left internal.

Put about 250 miles on Saturday and I really like these bars. It steers a ton easier and I feel much more stable because of the extra width.

I made an appointment to get my Clutch Recall taken care of. Also to get my 15000 mile check-up done. They quoted me $400.00 for the service. And that they are changing all fluids. $400.00, Is that right or a little too high?

:Shrug: To me that is very high but I do all my own oil changes and service checks as much as possible. Changing oil and other fluids is not rocket science just check U tube or such for tips and videos on procedure good luck Fred

P. S. If you have extended warranty your hands may be tied to keep the warranty

 

[Philip R]

I installed the Mustang super touring seat that I ordered. I got out for a short trip. The seat seems to be comfortable enough.

Philip, I purchased a heated Mustand touring saddle for my 2018 TG about a year ago. It is a great seat and a big improvement over the stock saddle. I've had many CVOs and lately they've been equipped with the H-D Hammock saddle. This Mustang is much better imo. Enjoy.

Nice job cleaning everything up...it can get pretty nasty under there.

Trust all goes smoothly with the alignment!

Kevin the alignment went without hitch as I posted else where the supplement doesn't mention disconnecting the panhard rod but a third grader would see it must be off to move laterally. That is when I found a worn Heim joint so I replaced both. Magnetic Laser Levels made this job simple. I'm waiting on a few other things I ordered before re-installing the body. It will be interesting to see how close the spacing is now on the fenders I have always had more space on the left side of trike (primary side) we shall see. I believe everyone with the tools and time should at least take the body off and look at what they are riding it's really neat to see, I believe I have a better understanding of what makes it so much fun. travel safe Fred

I was thinking about trying one of those was not sure how good it would work. May pick one up.

They work everywhere especially behind the rotors on the hubs. Wash it out when done and when worn out replace with a sponge cut in a circle great tool. Fred

I just got my trike back today from the dealership. They did the 15000 mile check-up. They also did the clutch recall. Being from Iowa, I never got a chance to try it out. 5* out today. Been a record winter this year. Snow and cold. That rodent better be right about an early spring. Just saying.

That rodent is only 43 miles from home I plan on working on his cousins this summer just to keep the family in check. LOL
