New Trike is here

Guess I’m in the minority as regards deletion of the vent . . . or others like me just haven’t chimed in. Personally I never ever closed the vent and I’ve ridden in some frog choking rain and never had a problem. I do wear a modular helmet so if perhaps I used an open face helmet ⛑ it would be an issue. But for me not being able to close the vent isn’t a problem.

Thanks Jerry,

Rain up here is different to where you are I guess :D because apart from frog choking rain, we also get duck grounding rain, whereby ducks cant fly :clapping:

How is the knee progressing?

That would be great as I will be unable to ride due to surgery next week ahhhhhh :(

Went to the shop today with stuff SM will put on for us. He told me he would have to get the part with to fit. I think he sais it is a 19 part the 16 would not fit. Anyway $93. when ever they get it done I will get the part# if you still want it done. I am having it as I never liked the vent open. I supposed if you have a full face helmet it would not bother you. I don;t wear full face. Best of luck with your surgery.
 
Congrats on the new Trike! Can't wait to see it in Kerrville. Be safe and load some pics when you can.

Hey Pat, I had just done the radio face shield. When I got them I ordered the 2 pack. It will be too small for the 20. If you would like the spare, it's yours. Let me know & I will bring it to K ville.

Bill,

I would appreciate the part number and any issues that you run into (hope not) with the fit.

Even though I am new to the family of HD bikes I found it strange that an option to change from a flap being able to be closed and opened to "just remain open" was interesting (cost of manufacture I guess).

Thanks for wishing me the best of luck regarding the surgery, but I have severe nerve damage in both hands, so anything could/might happen we shall see. Won't stop me riding at all :D

Jon.
 
Congrats, Bill! See ya in Kerrville. If the weather is good in March, will have repaint done on the Old Girl. Ken

Lookin forward to seeing u both again in Kville. Janiene made that recipe for New years gathering & everyone liked it. None left over,lol. Thanx to Suzanne. See ya'ii in April if Gods willin & the creeks don't rise.
 
Dealer called this morning, new trike is in. Hauled the 16 over & they will start moving some parts . All tires to be swapped as I just got a new Avon on the front & Goodyears on the rear. Garage door opener , seat, Trike Mirror Polished SS Wheel Disc, Reach handlebars,Edge Cut grips & a few other things.

Also they are going to see if they can swap that vent in the fairing. HD in all their combined idiotic wisdom, did away with the closing button. Prob saved them a $1. Anyway SM thinks he can swap it. I hope so. Don't like to ride with it open. And of course the week end is going to turn to (&^&%.. At least it will be ready for the Hill Country mid April.:clapping::clapping::clapping::clapping:

Bill if you want me to, ship it down here & I will brake it in for you so it will be ready for Hill country

Ps. congrats on the new ride

Thanks for the offer Jr, but I have to pass. If I did that ,after you rode it long enough to break it in, you would want to keep it & give up on the Honda. Thanks my friend. See ya in April

WIll have the part # for the vent Mon. Hope the surgery goes well.
 
So Dealer called late yesterday, finally got the road test in. All the rain we had cleaned the roads off. However I can't pick it up till Mon,due to crappy weather & other commitments. So when we get it home the work begins. Still a ton of stuff to put on. Bumper, Mustang passenger backrest with extended armrests, shift levers & shift arm, mirrors,clutch & brake levers, luggage rack, rider pegs & I know I have forgotten something. lol Anyway, I will be ready for Kerrville. If weather is crappy, in the trailer for a ride down to Tx. I do have to get 500 miles on it before so Dealer can service for the Tx trip.
 
Congrates on the new bike and I hope surgery went well. Sounds like a good dealer there helping you out.

I just ordered a 2020 after canceling an order with one dealer after a shouting match in the showroom. Went much smoother at the 2nd dealer and even a better deal. Can't wait for it to be ready too.

Good luck with yours...
 
Great news :clapping:

I asked about the vent (my friend is a Harley owner) and as you stated you cant close the vent. Will test ride it in the wet no doubt :xzqxz:

29200003 Prt # for vent with close button. $93, but search the web & get a better price... Got it home now more parts to swap[h=1][/h]
 
Bill,

Thanks for the part number.

Is this part only for TG's?

AIR DUCT INNER FAIRING

AIR DUCT INNER FAIRING

Fitment:

Sturdyke has it for $69. does not say only for tri glide
 
Congrats on the new TRI, I love that color very sharp. Looking forward to see yall in Kerrville!

Thanks Robert, Harley threw another curve. I bought Janiene a Mustang backrest with black studs & a bit longer armrests last Xmas. HD changed the mounting on the backrest & now we can't use it. See ya in Kville.

Mustang manufacturers are not dumb, they probably will soon be having you return the backrest so you can pay them to remove the old and add the new brackets. I hope. ;)
 
That is the reason I stay all harley stuff, no aftermarket for me at least some things I will go aftermarket, but most stuff is HD, yes I pay more but at least it fits and can go to another bike maybe LOL

Hope you get this figured out without having to pay a bunch of money

All for now Trampas
 
I doubt an older (2 yrs ) backrest from HD would fit either. HD always changes stuff every couple years & I don't care if you have HD stuff it Won"t fit.
 
Got the bumper , luggage rack, shift arm & levers, ( another HD part that won't fit, tranny arm cover ) mirrors, all 4 floorboards covers, brake & emergency pedals covers, rider pegs. More tomorrow.
