TRI GLIDE AIR FILTER QUESTION

[Davep]

Dave - can you tell us more about your trike? Is it stock or does it have aftermarket exhaust, engine mods, etc? My twin cam ran really hot also. The only solution I found was adding a tuner. They run way too lean from the factory especially with engine mods thrown into the mix.

its all stock, I thought about getting a K&N air cleaner for it

 

[PanheadSteve]

An aftermarket air filter that flows better will likely make it run hotter. It is the nature of twin cam stock tunes. My suggestion is to try an oil cooler. If that doesn’t help then a tuner is your next option. Both will let you add an air filter and exhaust, or cams…

I like the Ventilator air cleaner, there are other similar ones as well, look at Fuelmoto and DK Customs and Harley-Davidson websites. I run a Ventilator, I like the looks. More flow will help cool it a bit.

Dave - for a relatively small investment, consider the ViED fuel management system. DK has them and is a good resource to help you cool down your trike. Give them a call.

If the heat is coming off the exhaust pipe , DEI makes an insulating wrap that goes under the heat shield and helps. I did miss me on my 21 and the heat shields are much much cooler!

I have a 2011 Triglide with a 103, the air cleaner cover gets very hot and burns my leg, what would be the best way to solve this?

Check D K Customs for info on how to cool the beast down

we rode 140 miles on Monday and it was way better with the floorboard extensions and tank lift

 

[Davep]

put exhaust wrap on yesterday, went to start it and the battery was dead, charged it for 2 hours, still dead, off to Orelllys to get a new battery, battery is dated 6-12-20 so I guess 4 years out of it aint bad

There are several companies that make air cleaners that are more low profile that may help. Does your air cleaner still have the heads venting into them, that could be a source of heat. A freer flowing air cleaner will keep the cover somewhat cooler.

I ordered a new air cleaner that is a lower profile and is more ope,n supposed to be here on Monday

new air cleaner made a big difference, it runs cooler and my leg doesn't hit against it
