What did you do to Your Tri-Glide Today?

[Teufelhunde]

Trip through the mountains

Today I treated the Tri-Glide to an approximately 200 mile ride through the high desert and into the pines, then down into the valley floor and back to the high desert (where I live).....

Just add today I rode the trike to the office. At 60mph I was at 2,500 rpms in sixth gear. To much traffic could not get to 70mph. Just a good place to start the power curve for a Twin cam believe. Travel safe Fred

Hmmmm, mine is turning 2500 at 60 as well. You said you went with taller tires, correct?

yes that is what the gages are telling me. I will next time out put mph and tach on the PV And see if I have anything different. You may want to count the teeth on your front pulley (31) possibly. Remember OEM SPEEDO IS USUALLY IN ACURATE

Most vehicles Speedometers read faster than actual speed by design....

The old trike was adjusted by New Castle Harley I'm sure mine is right certified by an old friend in Ford Ranger with fancy lights.

Yeah, I got mine from my FP3 on MPH and RPM. Maybe my gear was changed in the past before I purchased it.

If you have an old GPS unit, tape it to your bike and take a ride. It will tell you how fast you're going at any RPM and in any Gear.

I have several but not registered like Radar units. Not really an issue. As soon as I find my note book I have all the data logged when I did the tire swap. Travel safe Fred

Aquatic AV

Well I started to install the new head unit in the old Harley install was easy now I need to splice and solder 4 little wires for the rear speakers. The fine work will be done in broad day light. LOL other than that easy peasy. So if anyone could use a HD OEM radio with CB I could make them a great deal on one. ride safe Fred

Finished up the Stereo swap, the OEM was dying a slow death what a difference the new Aquatic AV makes. Easy to install blue tooth music from phone and headsets. Only loose CB which I never did use. If anyone needs a cb unit for an OEM HEAD UNIT let me know ride safe Fred pictures to follow

I had some time today to install the DK Rider Floorboard extensions, 2 problems arose of course. It took me at least 10 minutes and a box cutter to get the parts out of the packaging from DK, lol, and I had to get a breaker bar to get a couple of the bolts out of the frame, man they were in there with lots of lock-tite. Also installed an extended shift lever on the toe part.
