    Speedo Drops to Zero on Tri-Glide?

    My 2017 did the same. I changed the transmission lube, problem solved. Debris in the lube will do that.

    Compensator

    Here's what I run in my 2017 Tri Glide primary case. https://www.lucasoil.com/product/hot-rod-classic-car-20w-50-motor-oil/ Lucas hot-rod oil has the high zinc content for metal on metal protection. The ramps in your factory compensator are metal on metal. My compensator looks great with...

    Tri Glide Rear Tire Choices Question

    I never thought about Goodrich tires for my Tri but it makes perfect sense if you think about it. Their tires were always a softer rubber compound which would result in a smoother ride and great traction. WIN WIN. Thanks

    5 Lug Axle and Brake Upgrade Kit

    SO, I've been looking for some Cragar or chrome reverse style rims for my 2017 Tri Glide to no avail. Not a lot of custom rim choices for the 4 lug HD configuration. Back spacing is the problem. Then it dawned on me, if someone in the aftermarket world would make a 5 lug axle kit with...

    Windshield Bag

    I'm not fond of the windshield bag anymore but I miss having one too. It was a perfect place for all the little stuff. 2 reasons I went without, ONE, it makes my beard stick straight out when riding because it changes the wind dynamics. TWO, the moisture trapped between the bag and...

    Heated grips on a Tri-Glide

    I know what you mean ! The left and right grips get wired to each other. Power is only supplied to one grip. Leave it to HD to make something so simple technically complicated.

    Drive Belt Replacement Time

    Just got a chance to check over the 17 Tri Glide today. She's been sitting, waiting for the warm weather again. It's a good thing I did. Looks like I need a new drive belt. She's got a bunch of cogs/teeth missing in one spot. Only 16,000 miles. This outta be fun and expensive too ! Anybody...

    Instrument Cluster Lights

    Howdy, Due to older age, I usually only ride during the daylight hours lately. Well, last week we ventured out with old friends and stayed out much later then usual. It was actually the first time I got to see the instrument amber lighting while riding at night. I'll get straight to the point...

    New Shocks

    I bit the bullet and purchased a set of Super Shox for my 2017 Tri Glide. It had a Legends lift kit installed when I bought it with the stock shocks. The Super Shox's are the Premier Series 14.5 I'm probably going to have to change back to the stock shock mount plates. My question is...

    Handlebar Question

    I'm changing my handlebars. Can anyone tell me from experience what height bar I can install on my 2017 tri glide without having to replace the brake and clutch lines. I want to be able to adjust the bars in any position I like, not limited to straight up next to the fairing because pulling...

    Exhaust Clamps

    Hi, I installed a set of CVO mufflers on my 2017 Tri Glide. The stock mufflers slid off quite easy after loosening the clamps. I used the old clamps to install the new mufflers. They seamed to tighten up nicely and I couldn't move the mufflers. A few hundred miles later, one muffler is...

    Tri Glide Fat Front Tire Kit

    Hello, I've been looking at fat front tire kits. The kit allows you to use any 18x5.5 wheel and 180/55-18 tire. I found kits for Street Glides and Baggers but nothing for my 2017 Tri Glide Ultra. Has anyone done this conversion? Could I use a 49mm fork tube Bagger kit instead? I think a...
