2015 GL1800 test ride
Have owned a 883 sporty, ultra limited, and now I have a 13 TriGlide. Test drove a 2 wheel, 2015, level 3, GL1800. I feel the Honda was a lot more comfortable, cooler, better ergonomics, better engine, not deafening, without more out of pocket to make it comfortable. Almost traded keys on the...- sparky1597

Did my own 10K on my 13 Tri Glide a couple of weeks ago. $430 stealer quote(about $60 in parts, and about 3 hours of my time.)Have the service manual. Went to grease the head bearing.

Trip to the Printers today
local printer said it wasn't a big enough job. Kinko's for $13.50. Had to split the main manual into 2 separate books, because they could only do up to an inch thick. Makes it a lot easier to view and also make a copy of a page so that the book doesn't get trashed.- sparky1597

14' vs 16' Cargo Trailer
If you tow a trailer behind your trike, how often do you take it with you, in the trailer? Looking for different experiences/opinions. I have looked at many different posts on here, and have found many informative posts, and have come to what I think will work for me. Looking at a R & R, 7x16...- sparky1597

Winter(snow country) riding
Wondering what fellow snow bound trikers do when the white stuff flies. With my two wheeler, I always waited till the snow melted and a good rain washed the salt away here in northeastern Illinois (not a fair weather/temperature rider). My garage is unheated, no hose bib for freshwater washing...- sparky1597

Summary of '13 TG with 780 miles on clock.
Can't believe I waited this long to own a TriGlide! Not a bad ride except the solid axle on some big bumps such as bad RR crossings. Plenty of storage. I did find a loose nut in the trunk receiver part of the trunk latch. Service manager said hold onto the nut and that I bring it in with my...- sparky1597
