Now, lifting the rear tire is predictable and "normal", the same as it was on previous year models.

Might be "Normal" for Kevin ... LOL .. Alan wants all three on the ground ...![]()
We gotta ride together again! Don't think I'll be out there this year, but maybe 2020.
Kevin
I figured as much ... I'm thinking about a trip to see the Ark ... that's not far from you .. like 600 miles or so ...![]()
That's in Covington, KY, right? We're only a couple of hours from there. If you'd like to meet up when you go, let me know. We haven't seen the ark either.
Congrats Kevin on the new ride
Judy and I also bought a 2019 trike -silver and black
already installed the tour pack relocation kit and floorboard extensions
got to put some miles on before adding anything else
A few more photos of the work done this last weekend...but first-
Photo from yesterday morning on the first ride into the shop on it. Also took the long way home yesterday, and rode it in again today!

Installing the custom backrest Mary made for herself on the '14.

This is an easy swap out. 3 nuts removed and the factory backrest comes out. The custom one uses the same holes, so it's just a matter of sliding it in and tightening down the three nuts.
The backrest she made works in conjunction with the lower factory pad. In the photo below the Tour-Pak is relocated back 3", and between the pads and the sheepskin, there is no need for a filler pad.

Passenger Drink Cup Holder installed.

TP Lid Safety Tether installed. It is some lightweight paracord with a washer on the top end and a ring on the bottom end. The washer goes on the center back rest stud and the ring goes on one of the screws holding the factory tether to the TP bottom.
We've never had a factory tether fail, but have seen more than a few broken TP's after a factory tether failed...so it is inexpensive insurance to have a safety tether.

I ran a 20 amp fused wire all the back to the Tour-Pak and installed a power point for charging while riding.
In the past I've run the wires thru the factory grommet that the factory wires feed into the Tour-Pak thru. On the '19 the grommet was much tighter than previous years, so rather than fight it I ran the wires through the speaker cut-out (which I had off to install the passenger drink cup holder anyway).
The wires are between the Tour-Pak and the liner right up to the mounting point of the Power Point.
There are small holes drilled in the liner for the wires and the fasteners that hold the Power Point to the liner.
We ran this same Power Point in the '14 for years and tens of thousands of miles...the position works perfectly for being out of the way, but having easy access to using it when the TP is full.

Here's a pic of an almost full TP with the power point in use-

More observations and updates coming soon.

Kevin...can you tell us what passenger cupholder Mary uses?
Thanks, Billijak
Kevin, do the linked brakes work when you apply the front brake only? I thought I read of that change.
On my 2017 FW, it's only linked while using the rear brake pedal .
Also, if the pulsing is not ABS, it would have to be the TCS. Can you turn the TCS off, via switch or fuse, then test to see if the pulsing goes away?
Kevin that trike is taking shape and it really shines with the coating or it sure looks like in the pics after the coating, the first page shows it in stock form and looks good but after the coating and the pics you have on here it just pops.
All for now Trampas
Congrats Kevin on the new ride

Kevin, you and Mary are certainly making this one your own too. Thanks for allowing us to take the journey with you.![]()

It has held up well, over some pretty grueling conditions, and it works really well...as it should for how much it costs! :laugh:
