What did you do to your Tri glide today.

Installed DK Customs floorboard extensions and 1.5” tank lift on my 2021 Tri Glide; tired (I’m 80), but happy with both products.

Took her out this morning for a 100 mile ride. The difference in felt heat from the engine is a blessing. The footrest extensions keep my boot heel off of the exhaust.

The TG was filthy from a lot of riding in the rain and many hours of sitting in dusty parking lots.

Took the time today to wash her up. Would rather be riding than cleaning, but I do like how easy it cleans up with the ceramic coating.

I put on a set of Hywy pegs/rests. Felt pretty good getting my leg away from the heat. The last 3 days, I had to wait at home. Had to sign for my new cell phone. First day, it didn't show up. 2nd. day, it showed up late in the day. Today, I ride. Nice day here in Iowa. Also, synced my cell phone in the trike.

Got a nice 85 mile breakfast run in yesterday, left around 7:30 in the morning and was home by noon, heat index was 103.

 

[SmittysTrike]

Just finished de-cating the trike today. I kept the stock mufflers for now. I wanted to hear what they sounded like with the cat gone. Well it is louder but not deep and throaty enough for my ears. I was kinda liking not having to take my hearing aids out every time I got on the bike. But I do miss that special song that only a Harley sings. Anyone here solved that problem? Not too loud but more throaty? I was thinking maybe American Customs so I could swap baffles out to get the song I like.

 

[headheaded]

American Mufflers with the baffles is what i have. You can cut the baffles down to make it sound any way you want.

I'm leaning that way. I've never heard them in person so it would be a leap of faith. Like most of them I guess.

Listen to these sound bites then get a hold of Kevin @ D K Customs

 

[Notgrownup]

Kevin, those Rush slip on sound good but I bet it’s a bit loud going down the highway

"Loud" is relative. What I mean to say is that what is loud to one person is not to another.

To me they are not loud...they are just right for my ears.

The only way I know for a person to pick out the "right" exhaust for themselves is outlined in the video below.

I could tell you to ask the folks that were at last years Arizona Get Together if they thought my pipes were loud...but you would probably have a bunch of different answers...everyone's ears are different.

Got it back today

Picked the 17 TG up from the dealer today after dropping it off 17 days ago for a trouble code that it through for the oil pressure sensor.

While it was in I had them replace the gouged belt that I had been running for 3 years and they found that the front brake calipers were sticking.

They replaced the rotors, calipers and pads. Flushed and change the fluid.

Everything was under warranty except the belt and the labor plus other required items to put it on.

They had over a week backlog when I took it in and then had to wait over a week for the right caliper.

Just in time for next weeks vacation ride to the Smokeys.

Glad to have it back.

Driving the truck to work was getting expensive. I haven't driven it that long since I bought the bike. 15 Mpg vs 37+

Early yesterday morning i was pulling in my sons garage while it was still dark out and i noticed the license plate light wasn't on, I never notice all this time that it wasn't on' So this morning i opened the trunk remove the back panel on the trunk lid (4 bolts) ....To get to the bulb and low behold the power wire was never plugged in from the factory??....Plugged it in and the light works..

Now the curious thing is the plug is like a two headed snake...IE ;Double plugs?..

I haven't a clue what the other power plug is for, Unless Harley had a plan to add an electric trunk lock at some future time?????

Buy a car/truck that has optional power mirrors heated mirrors.. And don’t get that option and most times you’ll find that the motor and heating elements are in there… The only thing missing is the switch on the dashboard to activate them..

Mounted a new front tire, then rode to the dealer to get a set of front brake pads, they were getting a little thin.

When i bought my tri the radio reception was never very good and i pulled the tour pack liner and low and behold the antenna was never plug in. Kinda makes you wonder if the axles are tight on a new bike.

Did another 300 mile ride today. Did the same ride we did a few weeks ago in se Ohio, but traveled it the opposite direction this time for diff.views, in Hocking hills

 

[hardwickbv]

Changed the engine oil and replaced all the oil lines to the filter relocation kit and oil cooler.

 

[PosseRider]

Little 200 mile lunch ride on some sw Ohio 2 lanes. Now have to remove the bugs tomorrow .:Shrug:

 

[evermill]

rode over to Texas about 2K to visit my daughter. Nice ride now time to change fluids, and head to do hwy 1 on the coast.

 

[PosseRider]

thinking of doing RT 66 again. Maybe start about 60 miles south of Chicago & end in AZ. Don't need the desert in Ca. Or a northern route (rt 2)

 

[SmittysTrike]

Swapped out whatever the crap my dealer put in the trans for Redline Shockproof heavy. I used this in my other Harleys with great results. Didn't dissapoint. Shifts much smoother but still can't find neutral unless I'm rolling to a stop. With my old Ultra all I did was rev it up a bit and look for it while it was winding down. Worked evertime. My trike, not so much.
