Custom wheels available for our trikes?
There should be custom wheels available for our Tri-Glides since the rears are just bolt on! The offset and the bolt pattern is all a company would need to set up the machining process on wheels already in production. Maybe some companies do offer them and I just don't know about it. probably...- Oldster

New Rear Rotors Warped on my TG??
I don't think you can get rotors turned anymore; shops just replace them! It doesn't matter how big the rotor is, 8 thousand out is 8 thousand out. Are they both out or just one of them? The shop should make it right, but they aren't going to. If they were going to stand behind the work they...- Oldster

LED tail lights
I had all Custom Dynamics on my Road Glide, even the headlight. I had a front signal go out in Michigan on a trip. I went to a Harley Dealership and handed them the faulty C.D. light and they handed me a new one, no questions asked! My headlight quit working on dim, so I called C.D., and they...- Oldster

Cam ???
Oil=Mobil 1 or Syn 3, Oil filter=OEM or Mobil 1!! However, what hasn't been mentioned is what weight oil. My owner's manual, 2024 tri-Glide, says for hot summer weather in St Louis I should use straight 50wght. I've always used 20w50 year around, but I may change this spring, haven't decided...- Oldster

I ain't no math wiz
Been there done that, now days I watch my fuel pretty close. When I get down to 1/4 tank, I start looking for fuel. I think that if I was doing something like crossing Nevada on hwy 50 I'd get a gallon gas tank and keep it in the trunk. Be easy enough to do. Actually, that's probably not a bad...- Oldster

Blown (shredded) my rear tire last night!
You can see when the tire was manufactured on the sidewall. The thing is a tire may set in a warehouse for a year or 2 before it is sold.- Oldster

Anybody buy a Harley Battery lately?
Last battery I bought I did some shopping and the Harley battery was around 20 bucks more money. I've always gotten 5 years out of the Harley battery, so I stick with them. As I recall it was around 175 though. For oil, Mobil 1 or Harley synthetic, same for filter. I've used 20w50 in the past...- Oldster

To all those Guys who will NEVER ride a trike....snicker
I bought my first motorcycle when I was 15 with money I made in the hay fields at 1 1/2 cents a bale. I am 75 now and I have always said that I would go to a trike when the time came! Well, it came last year and to be honest, if I had known how much fun they are I'd have switched to a trike...- Oldster

2023 trike service manual
Let me give my opinion which is worth exactly what it cost!!! There was a time when businesses would try and charge a price that gave them a reasonable profit, those days are gone for the most part. Now most businesses [including Harley] price their products as high as the market will bear, it...- Oldster

My sickness explained
Plexus is good stuff; I keep a can at home and 1 on the bike. And you are right about wiping down causing swirls in the paint. Hot soapy water and a sponge or soft brush and then a real leather shamy. A towel soaked in hot soapy water and laid on the fairing for 5 minutes or so will soften up...- Oldster

Things I Miss
Friends, I'm afraid the world has passed us by! And I really don't want any part of this new world anyway! At 75 I think I'm expected to be hardheaded and crabby, and I fill the bill LOL- Oldster

Genuine Question: Why the Hate between Cruisers & Sportbikes
I haven't experienced any problems between the young sport bike guys and us old farts. As a matter of fact, I've had some good conversations with them while stopped for a break. I can remember being young and riding like a maniac, blind luck and the good lord are the only reasons I'm still...- Oldster
