just bought a 2017 Tri Glide .. I need to move the driver floor boards out and if possible .. Everyone says they don't have anything for a 2017 Any Ideas
 
Put my floorboard extensions on last night (DK customs) on 2014 triglide. Much better position for my feet for sure. Also purchased the comfort lift kit but have not attached yet. The extension kit is a good bargain.
 
You need to tell me more and what they did

Here's the LINK the the floorboard extensions that will fit your Trike.

Here's a LINK where you can read about the benefits of the Tank Lift. (better cooling for the engine, and less buffeting for the rider, plus more)

Here's a LINK where you can read about the benefits of the Convertible Comfort Lift for your 2017 Trike.

Thanks for looking at our products.

I took the 1" floor board extensions off my 2015 before trading it in and put them on our 2017 Tri Glide. It took longer to make the iced tea I drank than it did to install the extension kit....Lol. :)

The floor board ext kit is a must have in my opinion plus an extended rear heal shifter arm for all out comfort and floor board use. Also an extended front shift peg with the 1" floor board extension kit is also very nice.

See pic's

Ride Safe,

Bill G Were did you but the longer Front shiftier peg ? Thanks Doc
 
Pingle also makes a spacer that uses the factory shifter peg. I have the floorboard spacers and comfort lift kit from DK Products. They make a world of difference in the way my '16 handles. Also make note of the fact that most of us run the rear tires at 24psi. Keep the front up around 40psi. If you don't have the "No Loss" hand pump for the air shocks, get one asap. You will have to tinker with your air pressures to find the best setting for you when riding solo, with or without the trike loaded. Then, if you ride 2 up, repeat the process. I have an index card taped to the inside of the tour pack lid with both the air shock settings and rear tire pressures that work best for me.

I also have the lift kit and FB ext added to my Tri I like the shifter peg that Bill G has on his Tri Black Peg looks like rubber also. Thanks Doc
 
Another worthwhile investment

Many of us on the board swear by this product. http://www.ride-on.com/ It acts as a sealant and it does a great job of balancing the tires. Imho, much better than beads. I'm sure others that are using it will chime in. I have it in my OE CTS-V tires too. If you order it, keep in mind that your rear tires are actually car tires so order the correct sealant for them.

I already had the Pingle on my Limited Low that I traded in for the trike. Dealer just moved it over for me. Infact, this is the third harley it's been on. Next on my bucket list is the air pressure caps from Ride-on.
 
Besides running the Floorboard Extensions, I'm also running the Extended ISO shift pegs on the left, which are super comfortable, and the Extended Chrome Brake Pedal Pad on the right.

You can get a package deal on the Floorboard extensions, Extended shift pegs and Brake pedal HERE. If you already have the floorboard extensions and just need the extended shift pegs and brake pedal, you can get a package deal on those HERE.

Another item that will really increase comfort is an Extended Brake Lever Arm. Not only does it move the brake pedal further forward, it also puts it at a more comfortable angle...so you don't need to lift your foot up as much and push forward, but you can push down on the pedal.
