What did you do to Your Tri-Glide Today?

[Jd1a]

20K service and new American Elite front tire. Had 20K on the original front tire.

 

[jcbrew]

Replaced my fork lowers with a set of polished ones I got off HD board. Can't believe after working on metric bikes the last 15 years, that I'd have to go buy 2 more allen sockets for working on H-D

 

[Zammy]

Did a lot of cleaning today after the breakfast run. We didn't realize that Love Bug season had started so it'll be a couple of weeks before we head out again. It's just not worth a 3 hour breakfast ride and then 4 hours of bug cleaning, the whole bike looked like this.

Installed a new American Elite front, $148 & got a $20 rebate to fill out. All-Balls bearings,Dyna Beads. Ready for the 5500 mile ride now. Will change all fluids just before leaving. Also polished wheel & hub.

where all you going

 

[seniorsgt]

I just ordered both

Added DK Custom’s convertible lift kit. Very easy installation if one follows the instructions. Now, if things would dry out, I could take her for a ride and see how the ride is now.

edit: Got out for a hundred mile ride. My uneducated butt could tell the difference. Thank-you DK Custom Products!

Rode it -like I stole it

Perfect weather here in SE Louisiana . Got out about 3pm and took off for Mississippi Gulf Coast . Rode Hwy 90 all the way to Oceans Springs with a snowball/ nacho stop in Bay St Louis, MS . Getting real comfortable at interstate speeds on my first trike. I’m over 1600 miles now. Cleaned the bugs off before I put her to bed.

 

[Mykneesbehurtin]

!00 percent chance of rain with thunder and lighting, sooooo a good day to clean.

 

[520fd]

Talked back to me.

Went out to get in my truck. Raining like crazy. I looked over at my Trike in passing, I swear it growled at me. Not my fault. :laugh:

 

[BKtrike]

Cleaned up the TriGlide for Thursday’s fundraiser ride to raise money for the widows of two officers who died in line of duty in 2020.

You will notice anywhere from 15- 20 degrees in temp drop with the Mighty Mites. The big plus is you are pushing the engine heat out the R S of the trike into the oncoming air

 

[seniorsgt]

Come back to Texas.

got to 50 today finally gave the bike a bath, 60 tomorrow whoopee

 

[PosseRider]

I agree!

Did mine today. Full set.

 

[Wmitz]

Finished up my DK Customs install the other day, took the bike out for a thorough thrashing, lol. Ran some PV logs, definitely going to have to adjust the ve tables, although that was the only change. Ran the PV cable under the tank, added a couple of washers to the rear spacers for a bit more air flow. Temps mid to upper 70’s bike ran in the 260-268* range all day.

 

[Jd1a]

4 hour breakfast ride.

 

[DOKK]

I've been riding to work everyday for the last 2 weeks. I hope to top 1k miles this week by Sunday. It's at least 500 a week just to work and back.

I also ordered rear brake pads and rotors today. I'll install them when they come in and do a brake fluid flush as well.

It can't be any harder than my truck.

I'll probably go the way of others and do away with the parking brake as well. Research says this could be leading to excessive wear on the pads and rotors. The rotors are grooved and were when I bought the Trike. That's usually not a good thing.

Edit:

I also ordered the Hogworx Halo day maker headlight and passing lamps now that I'm driving more at night after an unexpected shift change.

 

[New Orleans Kevin]

What I did Today!

Added the chrome script passenger floorboard covers and shiny trim on back of the tour pak! Day 4 of rain , it’s finally supposed to end tonight! Waiting on parts at the local HD dealer.orag:

 

[DOKK]

Lights came in today and I installed them. I'll check the adjustment before I leave from work tonight and test them on the way home.

Edit: I wish I hadn't waited so long to get these. These are every bit as good as the LED's in my truck. These lights really are Daymakers.

The low beam goes out as far as the OEM high beam and the high beam seems like I can see 100 yards down the road. The side coverage with the passing lights is amazing. I can see both sides on a 2 lane just like driving my truck. The lights are excellent and the price can't be beat for the whole set.

New pipes

Actually I did this yesterday after work.... put on a new set if slip ons so my Harley now sounds like a Harley should...

I wanted to go inexpensive but not cheap for the slip ons since they're going to be temporary until I can get a full system so I went with a set of 4.4" sharkroad megaphone with 2.5" baffles. These sound surprisingly good... much, much better than I expected, not too loud on the freeway but definitely louder than stock, but they have a nice bark when you crack the throttle open. Because these are wide open with no restriction it did effect the bottom end torque a little but not as bad as expected again... my next move will be to take out the baffles and run a set of Thunder torque inserts, then it's going to be time to gut out the cat, free up the intake side and tune.

I've been looking at a lot of the goodies DK Custom has so this will keep me busy for a while....

Smart move on the inserts.....:clapping:..

Work has been beating the crap out of me since we got back from Texas, no free time at all. But I am being able to ride back and forth to work on the TG 3 days a week for better than a month. (the other two days are on the Softail).

We did record a couple of videos on the Tri Glide last week. One is below, and the other one will be coming out soon.

[Jd1a]

Rode home from work this morning. Get to do it again the next two nights.

 

[Wmitz]

Pulled off the stock muffs, replaced them with my CVO w/2” Fullsac cores that I ran on a 15 RG. Took a serious look at the intermediate pipe coming off the header, now I understand the clearance issue better. The decatted headpipe will have to wait, just not in the mood to deal with that yet, lol. Retuning this week.

 

[Halfnormal]

My trike had the original 6 year old Dunlop tires that the bike came with. I put a set of the Continental Control Contact Tour A/S Plus tires on because Discount tire did not have the Michelin tour tires in stock. I did not want to wait the day it would take to get them because I was riding the trike back to Flagstaff from Phoenix where I had the trike for the winter riding months. They were $30 less for the set and have the same 80,000 mile warranty. So far they are performing really well.

I ordered a new set of Rinehart slip-on's. Should be here tomorrow.
