What did you do to Your Tri-Glide Today?

Put all the drain plugs back in and changed oil filter and topped off with oil. Went to my cabinet and discovered that I was out of transmission fluid and primary fluid. Dang it! Tried to order Lucas primary oil of Amazon and it wouldn't be here until June 23-July 17th. Nope, so of to the HD shop on Wed.
 
After getting a full release from my back surgeon (No Restrictions), I took a ride on my trike for the first time since Maggie Valley last September. Did about 150 miles on back roads. Limited to 2500 RPM and 55 MPH on new 131 engine. Got an appointment in a couple of weeks in Arizona to get it on the Dyno. A Harley 131 Stage 4 engine that was assembled at some Automotive shop in Springfield, MO. according to the shipping label on the box that the engine came in that had one water cooled head and one oil cooled Head installed.

Geez Ray, I didn't know Harley made a hybrid.LOL
 
Brought the trike home from getting the NextGen shocks & Imitators installed, only a 6 mile ride on a 4 lane road so no reports yet. It's been raining every day here off and on so I don't know when we're going to give the trike a workout.
 
I had the DK Customs Intimidators and NexGen shocks installed on my 2025 Triglide. My wife likes the smooth ride in the rear but I sometimes think the front end is bottoming out? It's soft. Might be my inexperience in riding a trike. This is my first. Maybe I am riding the bike too hard? I had the dealer install the parts before I took possession of the bike.

changed the windshield & complete detail & wax job
 
I removed the 6 piston front calipers on my 17 trike, they keep failing to release and have the rotors almost black from heat. And yes,I have the fluid changed every 2 years, they will drag even after just having the fluid changed. So, I am installing a set of 4 piston calipers off of a street glide that I just rebuilt. Since my trike does not have ABS it shouldn't throw any codes. I have had issues with the brakes on this trike since new, They have replaced two calipers and rotors under warranty several years back. All the people that I ride with have 4 piston calipers on their trikes and do not have any issues and since HD has gotten away from these style calipers there must be a reason. I have searched everywhere even Brembro and no one has a rebuild kit for these calipers. They have 4 regular size pistons and 2 small pistons between the large ones. Time will tell if I have the issue solved.
 
We got a 110 mile ride in the other day with the new nexgen shocks and intiminators, wow, what a difference these make. The bike feels much more, I guess the word is "attuned" to the road now and no more jarring on the bumps, money well spent in our opinion.
