    Time To Change Front Tire?

    I sure wouldn't just yet. Give it another few thousand miles. I just replaced my front tire with 19341 miles on it. I had a bagger rear tire (Dunlop D402MT90-16) installed on the front with the rotation reversed, for a much longer tread life. I got that recommendation from members on this forum.

    Back Surgery

    For the last couple years my lower back has been giving me trouble. Walking/riding is fine, but bending and getting in/out of the chair is getting pretty painful. I'm trying to bring myself to call the doctor and make an appointment. What's making me hesitant is all the talk I hear that back...

    Replacement speakers

    Are Rockford Fosgate speakers plug and play compatible with H-D Boom 2 system. I would like to know since one of my Boom 2 speakers just blew up on my 2014 TG. The H-D speaker is going to take 3 weeks to get from Harley. I'm gong to assume that getting replacement Boom 2 speakers in the future...

    Problem with audio forward/back track button

    I have a 2014 TG Ultra. I am having a problem with the track forward/back button. It works OK for the radio channels, but doesn't work with a thumb drive. I'm hoping it's not the whole switch. If I go into the menu/tracks on the right handlebar, I can use that switch to go to/from (actually...

    Front rotor torque

    I looked all over the shop manual and TG suppliment (2014) under wheels, disks, rotors, brakes and could not find the front rotor bolt torque value anywhere. Does anyone know what it is? I assume you need blue Loctite? I tried getting that H-D yellow thread locker crap off but couldn't get it...

    Replacing front wheel

    I'm going to attempt to replace my front wheel on my 2014 Triglide. I've watched about 5 YouTube videos and they all say to install the spacers with the engraved rings to the outside. I checked my wheel and noticed that the rings are on the inside. The dealer did the wheel swap last year so they...

    Anyone planning on going to the new Washington D.C. parade this Memorial Day weekend? Use to be called Rolling Thunder. AMVETS is taking it over and calling it "Riding to Remember". Already made my reservations - hotels are filling up quickly (as usual) - so get yours ASAP if you're...

    Cutting antennas

    I would like to slip a small flag on the base of each antenna, but I can't get the flags over the caps on the ends. Can I clip off the caps and then glue a cap back on? I can't think cutting 1/2" from each antenna would hurt anything. Am I wrong? Any other suggestions? Heating with a heat gun...

    Waterless wash and wax

    I finally got around to using this cleaner/wax product I bought back in October. I have always wondered how to keep my bike clean during the winter. I read a report on this product on a car detailing site and decided to try it. I hate riding a filthy bike. :) It worked like a charm. I sprayed...

    Buying a 2019 ???

    I broke down this weekend and started negotiations with dealer for a red/silver 2019 TG. Not a bad deal, but I think I could get a better price on my 2014TG if I sold it outright. Dealer is going to give me $22K as trade in. I wish I hadn't installed so many farkles. I'm retiring in 3 weeks so...
