The Transformation has begun!!!

As several of you may know, especially if we are friends on FB, that I am not happy with the Triglide. I loved my Street Glide Trike and just cannot love this TG. So Ron and I are stripping her down and trying to make her look more sleek and sporty. I have ordered the chrome luggage rack, I got for Christmas a set of HD Chrome 2" pullback bars, plan on chroming the wheels after the 1st, (found a guy locally that does exceptional work & has over 30 yrs in the business). I am looking at the Bad Ass Brake lights. We are going to install a hidden antenna inside the fairing. I'm looking at a couple of other things also! Now I need to come up with a name. I'm thinking "Daisy" meaning the best in her class! Right now she is kinda Neked!

I am going to do the same thing to mine. I just don't like the look with the tour pac and lowers. I did the same thing with my Ultra classic, now it looks more like a road king with a fairing. I am going to design a removeable tour pac mount for the trike this spring. It shouldn't be to hard, as I have most of the parts.

Welcome to TrikeTalk, bphup!

Annette, you will definitely look more like yourself once you get these changes made. Don't know that we would have been sure it was you if you showed up at the rally with the big tour pak, etc.! LOL!

My new sig pic is how it looks right now, without the tourpac and the lowers. I'll be posting pics as the addons begin. I forgot to add that I'm also getting the chrome visor trim rings for the head light and running lights. BPHUP, welcome to the forum and it's nice to know that I'm not the only one that doesn't like the looks of the TG. Don't get me wrong, I think they are very pretty with someone elses butt in the seat!:laugh:
Nana, kinda like you, riding in on a red trike. Just wouldn't be the same! LOL

You go girl! Didn't you have a solo mustang seat on your SG? I think the solo looks sportier.

I had the Mustang Regal Touring! The stock seat feels really good, but I do think the Mustang looks better.

Then I think you need to get it!!! LOL! I love my new mustang seat.

You are right!! But, I've been on a yellow/white Fat Boy for 16 years now. If and when I make a change it will probably be a different color just for fun. I assure you it will never be to a big full-dresser style of bike though. That is definitely not "me". I fully understand your desire to "sport it up" !

What seat did you end up getting. I really like the one Wiz had on the police trike. I think it is the wide vintage or something like that. I'm gonna look that up. Personally I think the Musang seats are about the best you can buy.

Annette, I got the one piece regal touring seat-vintage. They don't make the wide vintage like Wiz had. I tried as I loved that seat, too.

I have chrome orders and other stuff starting to come in now. There is a slight delay in the wheels, ended up ordering from Shinny Willy, due to the local guy being so high! I think the Trike Talk people put Shinny into some business, said he sold his last pair today and as soon as he gets the return pair they will be mine. So if any of you guys/gals just ordered a pair from Shinny today or yesterday, I will be riding around on your wheels. I'm not getting the baby moons, but I am getting the front wheel chrome spaces also from Joe. He is a very nice guy and sent me some pics of some of his wheels with the baby moons, but they are just not my style. I love the domed shaped HD chrome wheel hub covers with the "Bar & Shield" logo in the center. They are the "cats meow". We will be taking the trike and RK to get the recall work done on the rear brake switch replacement Friday. We could have had it done at any of the dealers when we were in FL, but preferred to get it done by our local dealer. We should have everything finnished by the end of the month. I can't wait to see the end results. Just had to show y'all the hub cover!!!
