What did you do to Your Tri-Glide Today?

[New Orleans Kevin]

10k service switched to 80/140 gear oil in primary n tranny, adjusted bars n mirrors, got lights fixed, a custom dynamics part had failed, they replaced it with no problems, got a spare fob and had it programmed . Good to go for a while now

 

[New Orleans Kevin]

The wife and I will be down there this weekend for a few days. Got a nice Air BNB in the Garden District. We have a family wedding on Sunday.

It’s been really nice weather! Enjoy the stay!!!

Nice trip with new toolbox

Changed oil on the trike after 10 days up to Lead SD with wife this time. She booted me out of the house last year. Told me I had to leave for 3 days because she was having a bible study with the girls, I told her that wouldn't work I needed a week. So, I went there last year came back and told her we had to go back because I didn't have my camera person behind me. And to make more room I created an 11x11x6 aluminum diamond plate toolbox to fit between the mufflers. All by hand and thought that someday I could show you Keven, I not to tech savvy so it might take me awhile to get a pic on this site. Going to have to ask the wife. As for the trip SHE LOVED IT. Oh that was going from Shueyville IA. to Lead SD.

Well when we went to start out this Morn from Amarillo, the Boom told me i needed to replace the FOB battery !!! Got in to Grants NM for the nite & replaced with a spare I got some time ago. So not too bad for over 2 yrs old. Best part it TOLD me it was needed. Unlike yrs ago it would just quit..orag:

I really like that feature. I thought it was just a Freewheeler thing.

Relocate oil filter

I received the DK oil filter kit accouple weeks ago. Put on my 2017 Tri Glide. Took accouple hours (I'm slow). I would have liked to see some pictures on the instructions. I did put the hoses on the part that replaces the filter, before I installed It. Looks good and alot less messy next oil change.

 

[Notgrownup]

Changed the rear turn signal wiring harness. Finally found one after waiting close to a year. WOW! Also while the wheels were off and jacked up I took a turn out of each Pro Action 14” shock I want to see if it drastically softens the ride. Adding a dual track motohorn set up now to see how that works out. Will report back.

 

[Notgrownup]

Moto horn dual track final install. I like it and looks pretty good. Sounds great. Like a older car loud. I shortened the wires a bit as it made it easier to tuck behind the horns

 

[DK Custom Products]

Looked at it.

I'm in AZ for some riding, but instead of being able to ride, I am waiting for surgery this next week for a kidney stone that is to large to pass. (14mm x 8mm)

It is sitting right outside the door, begging to be ridden.

Kurt did ride it 30 or 40 miles the other day for me.

Did a three hole fluid change and went with the lifetime oil filter from FLO at JP Cycles. I only got that one because that’s where I get all of the supplies for my service and had points with my RPM membership. I also went with Mobil 1 20w-50, 75/90 gear oil and 4T 10w-40 in the primary. Redline has really shot up in price and my wife works at Autozone so I get to use her employee discount.

I did make the blunder of grabbing the T25 instead of the T27 for the derby cover. Stripped out the first screw I tried. So I had to deal with that but I’ve been in industrial maintenance for over 30 years so that was no problem. I did order the wrong gasket for the derby cover so I’ll head to my indie shop in the morning and grab the right one. I got the flat gasket instead of the o ring seal.

I also tried out my oil extractor. It worked very well. I did pull the plug on the crankcase and got about 1/2 a quart or less out. Trans and primary were sucked right out. So no big issues there.

All in all, it was a good day.

Talked to my indie this morning, the flat gasket will work just fine but there's probably nothing wrong with the o-ring. He told me jhe hasn't replaced mine in the 2 years I've had it and been taking it to him. So filled and back on it went with allen head screws and went for a ride. No leaks anywhere and rides just as good as with the Redline for less than half the price.

 

[Notgrownup]

On my 07 I’ve been using the same gasket for the last 5 primary oil change and still no leak so it stays on there. I have a spare sitting in the shop in case but I will keep the old one on there until it leaks..

 

[Warped]

Installed DK Customs Comfort Lift havent taken it for a ride yet though.

It literally started pouring 3 minutes after I took the jack stands out from under it !

Just barely got it and the tools back in the garage without getting wet

Dakota Digital guages

Installed a set of Dakota Digital gauges yesterday.Took about 2 hrs including drain oil temperature sensor and running wire to gauges. After many Harley touring bikes with crappy gauges which drip some unknown substance that Harley corp calls a anti fogging coating, and having warranty replace 3 sets in my 2021 inside of 3500 miles,I decided enough is enough and spent the money. Easy to program and well worth the expense in my opinion.

 

[PosseRider]

Washed the 4 days worth of bugs collected between AZ & Ohio off. Predicting rain & snow showers next 2-3 days, so loaded it in trailer to take to shop for brake & clutch fluids,changed, brakes checked & replaced if needed & a kittyless pipe installed.

I have it on my 14 and I can’t reset the fuel level. It still thinks I have a 5 gallon instead of 6.

Since you have the Dakota MLX 8414 gauge package, you should be calibrating range to empty feature under fuel programming. One thing to remember is range to empty is determined by fuel usage with rpm. So if your a little heavy handed on the throttle,it will show less miles available when you fill tank up. Also you could relearn range to empty at anytime. You just have to start out with a full tank.

Brought my trike down to my son's house in Phoenix for winter riding season.

Also a big shout out to PosseRider during the Arizona Gathering for noticing that my rear fender lights were only acting as running and turning lights and not brake lights. The original owner had installed the LED tail lights when he purchased it. I am not sure if at that point the lights ever worked as brake lights. The tour pack lights were acting as the brake lights. Before I took the trike down to Phoenix, I stopped by the local HD shop to see if it was a simple fix or not. They did not have a clue and called MOCO tech services. They also did not have a clue! At the same time, Bill was diligently researching the issue while riding back to Ohio checking in with his contacts. Bill's resources were confident that the issue was with the ECM programming for the brake lights. A stop at the dealer in Phoenix confirmed Bill's information and a quick programming change enabled the brake lights! :clapping:

 

[New Orleans Kevin]

Today I installed the tour pack lid liner and script HD shift linkage. In the past few weeks ive seen several broken OEM shift linkages and a couple zip tied together. Surely, I don't want that headache. After that polished up some of the chrome and removed some of the swamp bugs.

You will like the linkage, Stock SUCKS

I have this one

I like this one. I have the stock rod still but replaced the ends with Heim joints.

Ditto for me. Stock shift shaft with Heim joints from DK Custom. Added heel/toe shifters on my 21 TG, cause I used them for years with various Harleys, and that’s what I’m used to.

 

[1dn5up]

Woopie doooo , I removed the HD tank badges and the new shift arm does not say HD . I hate bling !

 

[Rogue1]

Installed DK retainer plates and new bearings yesterday. Easy peasy.

Luckenbach

Rode the TG to Luckenbach, Texas! Bike rally held there today and Sunday. Nice day, which prompted lots of riders/bikes. It was actually a pleasant temperature to ride.

 

[1dn5up]

Put a few lbs in the rear tires to 22 lb . Put on the mesh coat WO the liner , then burned up a tank of fuel . Left all cares , concerns and worries at home . No wind just sun and a few ass holes leaf peeping….
