Just got a Triglide...2021 with only 1200 miles. I'm getting use to a trike (switching from a 1999 FLHTC). I already miss the windshield pouch I had. It was really convenient for keys, glasses etc. I have been looking for pouches for the lower fairing doors (I'd get a windshield pouch, but it will block the fairing vent.). All of the lower fairing pouches I find are for earlier model years.

Is there a difference in the size of the lower fairing doors on different years? Any suggestions appreciated.

The fairing pouch for later years has a rise under the center pouch so you can still have air coming out of it. IMO only...It is such a waste. I stuffed it closed (since you can't close it unless you get the 2019 vent) But you decide. The lower fan housing access (Thats all they are) does have a bag available that you stretch over the door. I have it and use them alot for small stuff. Don't know if it's available from HD.lowers.jpgfairingpouch.jpg

PS..The lower pouch is NOT weather proof so don't put anything in them that you want to keep dry. The fairing pouch isn't too much better.

Rocco… Welcome to Trike Talk..🫡..

I have the 2019 Triglides and I bought the pouches for the windshield from Harley Davidson, and they are water resistant with magnetic closures and they don’t block the vent..
 
I ended up with the windshield pouch, lower pouches, and fender glove boxes on my 19 Trike. On long road trips all those little storage places are perfect for gloves, small sun block, micro fibers, Bug Slide, extra sunglasses, etc.
 
I bought the Kuryakn lower fairing pouches off of Amazon. They do say that they are for earlier models, but they fit on my 2023 with no problems. As mentioned, they are not waterproof, and do not have a drain hole.
 
Pouches that fit on lower fairing access door. Used them for several years and very handy for small items.

Those are what I have on my 2022 Tri Glide. I like them a lot. The brand is Kuryakyn, and pretty much available everywhere, not just from Tucker Powersports.

I've never wanted to put bags or pouches on the windshield that block any portion of the view. So I don't have anything on the windshield.

Just ordered them from Amazon. I do my best not to ride in the rain. I'll cover them when I wash the bike.
 
I have the triple pouches but I really don’t see any adverse effects. No need for the lower pouches yet plus they’re not waterproof. No Bueno.

I got the lower pouches from Amazon. They are too small for what I want to have handy. The triple windshield pouches say they are not compatible with the led windshield trim (that the previous owner installed). I can't figure why, unless its a question of the screws being too short.

The screws being too short, is probably the reason…?

I also have the lower fairing pouches from Kuryakyn. I have to say I am hard pressed to find anything that will fit in them other than a pair of gloves. Extra sunglasses don't fit, phone doesn't fit. I have a new Freedom Shield windshield on order and when that comes in I am looking at a windshield bag.
 
$477!!! :shok:

I totally understand and agree. I looked at these for a couple of years but couldn't pull the trigger. After a few long road trips a caved. Now I don't know how I got by without them. When my big bag is tied to the top of the tour pack it is a lot more convenient at stops to get stuff I need out of those little saddlebags then lifting the heavy tour pack lid. Another advantage my wife has found is she can get stuff while we are in motion, like sunglasses, sunblock, cell, etc.

I don't have the windshield pouch or those saddlebag pouches. Instead, we have a cover on the back rest that holds all of the small things we need. Like sunglasses, chap stick sun block. Our phones are in the trunk, and we can connect with the buy USB connection for our maps. If we get a call, we can (but unless it is vital) don't answer.

biggest issue I have is drilling holes but I guess if you want them they are there to stay.

I was torn between drilling the holes and using velcro. I have a buddy who used an industrial strength velcro and his are still holding great (FL rider). I decided to drill and fasten mainly because I didn't want someone being able to quickly steal them. At least this way it will take them a couple of minutes to figure out how to release them.
 

To each his own, but I’ve had these on my 21 Tri Glide since new and like them a lot.

Expensive? Yes. Practical? For me,yes. One holds two bottles of water, snacks and microfibers. The other sunglasses, wallet, keys, flashlight, sunscreen, etc.

I keep a few 2 1/2 gallon ziplock bags in each for rainy weather.

I didn’t want to use the fairing pouches because even though they don’t block the vents entirely, the change in air flow (directing air at the rider from under the bags) defeats the purpose of the fairing vent (to direct air up and over the riders head and reduce turbulence).

I treat the leather “hinges” of the bags with leather conditioner to keep em’ from cracking.

I like em’a lot.
 
First thing I did when I bought my 2020 TG was to put on the Saddle bags. Not worth the money but definately worth the convience. I'd buy them again in a heatbeat. Besides you pay $40,000 with tax and licence out the door for the TG, what's another $500 to a chump like me.

I'm on my 5th triglide. I have had those bags on everyone of them, wouldn't be without them. On my 23 i decided to do what your buddy did & velcro them on. My concern was not theft, but heat. I traveled out to Ca. this yr. & endured some real nasty heat for several days. I kept my eye on my bags just to make sure they hadn't loosened from heat & they didn't. Now when i get rid of this trike i will just pop them off & install on the next one. Should of did this on my 1st trike, i'd be money ahead.

Now, that is what I call tried and true. Something we can believe in.
