Was hopeing for a CVO this new model year. Maybe next year. Maybe more improvements.
A rear brake make over woulda bin nice..retro fit to older models as well..Shoulda bin a recall!!!
Don't count your chickens yet. They may come out with a CVO later. They tend to do things like that. Just like in the middle of the year they will come out with a limited paint scheme for a certain bike.
I'm not a big fan of the new paint schemes.
I love, love, love the new Anniversary edition, but I'm not buying any more trikes or bikes! I love my Harley and I love HD!:10:
:Agree:
The only gripe I have is the damn untreated aluminum wheels. I already have spots on them that I can't remove. I've tried every brand/type of wheel cleaner including chemical cleaners.
......and the parking brake - constantly have to adjust it.
My experience is that it totally depends on where you ride. I had my trike down south this winter, shortly after I bought it, and it road great. I brought it back to northern MN this Spring and it rode so terrible I put Legend Air Suspension on it (which in my case was worth every penny). The difference is the roads. They really stink up here!
You know you can always send the wheels out to be coated...or chromed..The chrome wheels are so much nicer to keep clean..
I know it costs money...LOL..
But with doing that if you get a scratch on the coating then the dam wheel starts to pit..I used a buffer and some wheel polish that worked to get the wheels cleaned up..
Try this You Tube video!
Just remove the parking brake. I never used mine, and if you park the Trike in gear, it will not go anywahere. I experimented with mine on hills before I removed it. You will not miss it or the rattling and adjusting.
The new trikes are UGLY in color....I still love my SUN GLO RED from 2010 and the one solid color..
Not much for the two tones of late..
Yea you would have thought that some sort of upgrades would have been done to the 2013..Maybe sooner or later???

Something else must have changed. I was under the impression the EPA regulations ran out at the end of 2012. Speculation had them going water cooled to get under the new regulations. Heard they would put radiators in the lowers and also they may use the "V-Rod" engines, to be called the "Revolution" engine. Those were pretty reliable sources, oh well I guess it was all just speculation after all.
ThumbUp ME TOO !!!
did anyone notice the rear fenders have reflectors or lights on them in the rear of the bike on the lower end of the fender..
Harley has a great seller in the TG. Why change anything? The Ultra Classic hasn't changed in years! Why would the TG?
They would need to come out with water cooled on all their bikes, wouldn't they? As cheap as HD is, don't you think they are going to milk it to the bitter end, until they are forced to do something by gov. regulation?

I believe the Ultra classic had changes almost every single year. Maybe not MAJOR ones all the time, but changes none the less.
The one change I wished they would make - is get rid of that %$#@ air temp gage and replace it with an oil temp gage or something else that is actually useful.

Yes, I had my dealer order a set plus order a set of the new tourpak chrome latches.
Butch
are those reflectors or lights?? have to look at those latches..
I don't know. Either way I want them. I've been looking at adding some kid of red light or reflectors in that area for some time, just haven't been happy with what was aviable cause of the angle of the lower part of the fender.
Butch
If anyone gets the part # for those new reflector/lights? on the rear, could ya forward to me please?..id like to get a set to add to a rather dead area on the rear fender as well as ad to more visabilty..I like em, now try to get em..Thx in advance..
I use NEVER DULL from WALMART on my wheels, works great for me.
Was at the dear today and looked through the 2013 TG parts book and guess what? Those rear fender lights/reflectors are not showen nor are they listed, not parts number, go figure!!! :Shrug:
Butch
Just pick up my new 2013 Tri-glide today. Put only a hundred miles on it, but so far I am very happy with the Trike.
