Took my 2017 Tri-Glide on a 2800 mile trip that included stops in:

Tupelo MS, New Orleans LA, Panama City, Orlando (Davenport) FL, Savannah GA, and Gatlinburg TN.

Hit Bourbon Street a couple nights, spent a couple nights in Orlando and two more in Gatlinburg, we only stopped for the night in the others.

Lots of hot weather along the way, hit one small storm between New Orleans and Panama City, then rode in rain for 6 hours on the way to Orlando.

Lost the Grill from the from of my right side radiator.

Also the trike stopped starting in gear intermittently and is getting worse, had this issue last year and the replaced the left switch pack to fix it.

I didn't notice until I got back an was looking at the photos posted on Killboy.com that were taken while we road The Tail of the Dragon but my Auxiliary lights and Stealth driving lights quit working.

I have checked everything I can but it looks like I am going to have to take it in for warranty work soon.

Tried hooking them up to the switches on the other side of the dash, checked the fuses, and even disconnected the driving lights.

Anyone have any ideas?

All in all not a bad trip.

Might be something in the BCM (Body Control Module) IF so requires dealer computer hookup for programming
 
We were certainly covering some of the same roads. Since April we have had the wheels on our TG turning from Ft. Myers, St. Augustine, Mobile, New Orleans, Western TN, Tail Of The Dragon, Eastern TN, and northern NC. We still have to hit Michigan, the UP, WV, Virginia, NC, SC, eastern TN again, before drifting back toward SW Florida for the winter.

Next year we will probably see what the east coast is all about.
 
Niagara Falls is on the short list for next year.

Got the grill for the radiator this morning and after looking at it I can't figure out how you could lose one without some one taking it loose.
