Not really a what I did TO my trike, but a what I did FOR it. Back in 2012 when I put that garage there I bought a rather expensive free floating vinyl mat to protect the plywood floor, mostly from oil from my rather leaky '78 Shovelhead. It was guaranteed to lay flat. Well it did until I actually put something on it then it curled like I had gophers tunneling underneath it. Finally got tired of looking at it and tripping over it and put some 1/2" thick rubber gym flooring on top. Time will tell how this works out I guess.

Spring Time Set Up

Hello all.

77 & sunny in NE PA.

Changed battery in key fob.

Installed DK Floorboard Extension Kit from DK Customs. Noticed better airflow / lower temps between legs and engine.

Installed Sylvania ZEVO super bright LED taillight bulbs. Noticed brake lights are brighter than stock bulbs. No error codes .

Installed drink holder to highway bar. Used RAM atv/utv mount, large double socket arm and XL level cup holder.

Went for ride.

 

[JTJersey]

Springtime in South Jersey. The only real difference is that the grass back there is green instead of brown and it's a bit warmer. I'll take it, did a 100 miles today.

 

[Jack Klarich]

I ran the I 295 loop around Jax tonight

It is a 61 mile ride totally looping our city, it crosses over the St Johns River

A good ride @ night with less traffic

At night? (Yes) During the day? Seemed like Death Race 2000 when I was there.

At night, less traffic and cooler out

"What Did You Do" ... Preview

Ordered the Rider Floorboard Extension Kit this morning from DK Custom. I think this kit will definitely make a difference in comfort as well as heat dispersement. I have seen several vids on installing the kit. None of them were too spiffy DK doesn't have an install vid for this and the others show you the start and finish but leave out the actual disassembly and reassembly. The DK Install Instructions are very clear and easy to follow. I have heard many say that removing the factory bolts was quite challenging ... Anyone installed these? Any input on best tools or tricks will be greatly appreciated

Thanks so much

I put them on my 2017 triglide I put them on by myself, but another set of hands would’ve been helpful, but not necessary. The one thing you find is that the stock bolts have a dry type Loctite that uses a chemical reaction when screwed to tighten so they’re going to be quite tough to unscrew but like I said you can do it. No special tools are needed…

Thanks rhino … looking forward to it. I do have the extra set of hands so hopefully successful installed pics will follow

Block up your parking brake like they said, goes on fast and easy. Right side bolts super tight with loctite.

Washed Kim's Freewheeler today, first of the season and after riding in the rain Friday night.

Some people says Frank's rear fender chaps will damage the paint. I can tell you that is false. These have been on for a couple of years and today was only the second time I removed them. After all kinds of weather the paint and the coat of wax I applied were pristine. A quality product installed properly.

Great pic Mike ... the bike looks great. You should share it on the new "Got Pics" thread. Trying to create a "photo album" I love seeing all the variety. Have been working my way through a "wish list" which does include a set of Franks Fender Chaps (size large like yours) Also thanks for your help with the light visors. A super easy addition that came out great.

I put the H-D clock on the Freewheeler for more of that black and chrome shine.

I put one on last November (2022). Rode over 3000 miles with it there and it hasn't missed a second. Hope it lasts, it's a very handy item.

 

[priell3]

You can buy them from the company that supplies H-D, for less money.

I have the thermometer already and the clock on order.

 

[Noodles107]

Put on Rider Floorboard Extensions this morning. Shout out to the guys and gals at www.dkcustomproducts.com for the fast shipping and super easy to follow instructions. Installation went smoothly and adding the extensions is not only practical but looks great too! ... A couple of Before and After pics ...

 

[JTJersey]

Went to a spring opening bash at Steakouts on Rt. 40 in NJ. They were having a Jeep show. Was pretty interesting. Good music too.

 

[priell3]

We did a 45 mile ride for ice cream.
