    Rear Shock air pressure

    Right now I just have the stock suspension, so no skin in the game. But if and when I can obtain an improved suspension, my thought would be to: 1) Adjust the shocks incrementally as per DK's note above, until I found the best setting - might want to do that solo and with passenger and...

    What did you do to Your Tri-Glide Today?

    Didn't actually do it today but did it last week: spent a great deal of cash on very mild stage 2 for the trike with Wood WM8-22xe cam, cobra headers with 909 exhausts, new intake manifold and intake, plus the stuff to make it happen that included a tune on a trike dyno. Didn't require...

    WEIGHT

    I weighed mine on a road side scale it was 1,279 LB with whatever I have bolted on and carrying. The flattering news from weighing with me on then off is that I am 198 LB's with all my bike garb and helmet on. I guess eating nuts and straw with some exercise does something positive. Had a...

    Thanks Bob (hardwickbv) That's good info to know. My wife dozes off the odd time. I get a knock on the helmet when her head falls forward.

    Passenger Arm Rests

    Greetings, I'm looking for passenger arm rests for the tri glide. The ones that I have seen have two major design issues, that are problematic in my opinion. 1) They mount to the tour pack lid or the tour pack, this seems very flimsy and asking for an expensive repair. (Harley has a better...

    Handlebar? clutch cable question

    Yes with 2" + 2" bars (10 inch bars?) you don't require extended cables. 12 inch bars you might need extensions but If you go 14" apes or more you will for sure need extensions. Just the 10 in. bars (2+2) make as very significant difference to comfort and operability.

    New to me 2017 Tri Glide Ultra advice

    Greetings, I would suggest that you change out the coolant. If it is over 2 (?) years old it may be starting thicken / gel and may then burn out the coolant pump. Learned that the hard way.

    What did you do to Your Tri-Glide Today?

    Also on Saturday - Bristol Hercules engine run up. 14 cylinder sleave valve radial. This was considered a very reliable engine by the crews that flew with them. Here is a pic of the timing gears:

    Thrasin Brand Inner Shift Arm Review

    I put an extended shifter peg on. That was an inexpensive solution that made shifting easier and for some reason neutral was easier to find.

    Water Pump Issue Checking Circuits

    Thanks for the advice. I'll stick with HD stuff for now. All new coolant is in and maybe change it in 2027 spring.

    Water Pump Issue Checking Circuits

    Further to Carl / HDUSA1 information on the coolant, I wonder if the same antifreeze / coolant that is in my 5.0 mustang would be a compatible alternative since that is an aluminum motor.
