I was looking at the DFT IRS for the Tri Glides. Looks great, & a simple install. Even went as far as to talk with them about their policy for having only authorized shops do the install. I was told that they would bypass that is I could do everything myself.
I couldn't get over the expense of the conversion just to get IRS. So I convinced myself when the rear end wears out under the Tri I might do it then.... The other day I installed a pair of Progressive 416 shocks........ Now I don't think I will do the IRS ! HUGE DIFFERENCE !! A set of shocks that have a great progressive spring rate, & a shock that actually works as a shock ! Also the top pressure for a load is 100# not 50#. And they are re-buildable !
Also,,, you can purchase the rear rotors from DFT which are 10.5" & their mounting plate to use your stock calipers that would give you some better brakes, all for a measly $600.This would fit the stock Tri Glide.
