What did you do to Your Tri-Glide Today?

[rhino 2]

Been resting in my garage for an over a week now…And that’s the most time it has ever sat without riding it …Not even for my early morning coffee runs??

 

[DOKK]

Took mine for a test ride today. I ride several days last week in the cold. It didn’t sound right so I checked the codes. I had P1353 and P1356, no combustion. I don’t have a CEL so I started researching. According to my service manual and internet research, plugs and wires were most common. So last night I pulled the plugs and wires. Plugs looked good but were not gapped correctly. I guess they didn’t check them when they changed them during the 50k service. I also noticed some rub marks on the wires. Nothing deep or showing wire. I just put some tape over the spots, gapped and reinstalled the plugs. Took it out today and ran it pretty hard and the codes did not come back. I was able to repeat the codes last week just from work to home and home to work. I also wonder of it being 25 degrees last week had anything to do with it. Anyways all is well now. Plug gap is important with the ion sensors.

Went tooling around town today about 30 miles. Just put the backrest on a couple days ago. It quit raining for a while so had to go out. For me that backrest really made a terrific difference in how my back feels after a ride. Had my doubts as to how good the backrest would actually be. Never ride without one again.

Flush the clutch hydraulics. Lot of work for a several ounces of fluid.

Finally got a nice 111 mile breakfast run in yesterday, it warmed up to 70 after a couple of weeks of 40-50 degrees and rainy weather.

Tuner install

After long debate and research decided to go with the PV3 and contacted Fuel Moto with the purchase. Pretty simple ordering process. Answered their questions about add ons and they installed two tunes on the tuner. Recieved the tuner few days later and watched several videos on the install process.The tuner I purchased is the newer one non-touch screen.This unit is even user friendly for some of us senior riders. Like anything else if you watch some vidoes and read the directions closely pretty easy. Had to call them once about the diagnostic connection and spoke to Lucas. Very helpful I might add ! Now alls I have to do is wait for some better weather here in Western Marland and see how it goes...

 

[hydraglide]

Winter work completed… new brake pads, replace pan hard rod (warranty) using better heim joints, DK 1” tank lift (front and back), DK heavy duty rear axle bearing retainers with new bearings installed.

That said… snow was melted, salt pretty much gone, so I got my trike out of winter storage and got back in the wind much earlier than normal (for this part of the country at least!).

75 mile lunch ride yesterday, 225 mile lunch ride planned for tomorrow!

No snow… LETS GO!!

 

[Jarhead1775]

Happy for you Ron enjoy the rides. Hopefully it's an early spring and everybody can get out and enjoy the fresh air.

 

[DK Custom Products]

Got my tour-pak relocation kit from DK today, finally. It was not their fault. They had it ready for UPS to pick up the morning after I had ordered it the previous evening. But with all the bad weather - snow, ice, freezing rain, low temps, etc., UPS didn't even pick it up for several days and then it even got delayed after that. Oh well it's here now and what a lovely piece of kit it is. It reeks of good design and quality. Happy to support a small firm that makes quality products here in the US of A. Now to get it installed.

Yeah, that was a bad week of weather we had.

There was an entire week that UPS and USPS did not run in a large part of North Mississippi.

One day we ventured out in a 4 wheel drive truck, with over 150 packages...some for USPS and some for UPS, to drop them since they could not get to us.

We went to 4 post offices, during business hours, they were all closed. No one there.

We then went to the UPS hub. They had no where to put the packages. Building was overflowing with inbound and outbound packages, and they had 27 semi trailers that were full...the literally had no where to put them. :xzqxz:

Fortunately everything has been back running smoothly for a few weeks now. :clapping:

Finished the installation of my KST 12” Six Bend handlebars. Big job and glad it’s done. Now if the rain would let up and the temps moderate a bit I’ll be able to try them out.

Handlebars look good. Nice looking Shop!

KST 12" bars

After much research I decided to go with KST 12" Mayhem bars. For a few dollars more I also went with some Kahuna style heated grips since everything was being pulled apart. Really like the hand and arm position with an easier steering mode. Rode 40 some years with stock bars and yes these will take a little getting use to!

I had a total knee replacement :cxtv: last Monday so I went out to garage and looked at it for awhile, Hopefully will be back in saddle in another 2/3 weeks epper:

Well, hang in there. I've had both knees replaced. Both shoulders replaced. Left hip replaced. And I'm still riding thousands of miles every year. Good luck. Jerry.

 

[rhino 2]

I converted the Throttlebody so when at half throttle it will just run on Gasoline ️ ..

Then when at full throttle it will run on even more ️ Gasoline….

 

[Notgrownup]

Placed my order last night for Intiminators and cooling deflection wings from DK.

Finally got my Trike back after Dec 3 accident. 2 1/2 months in shop. Mostly waiting on painted parts from mother Harley. So far everything is working. Friends are taking bets on when I'll trade it, because of the damage that was caused!

 

[Jarhead1775]

Took a ride out to Lake Henshaw. 180 mile round trip. Still pretty cool up there.



My mistake it's a TRI Glide wanna be

SCOOT

Got to take a short scoot today, and enjoy this strange 70 degree weather in early MARCH......:clapping:

(second try )

Any miles on those bars yet? Love them…..

Mayhem 12 inch bars

I’ve got 25 k on 12 inch Mayhem bars and am quite happy I did them !!! Rode 125 miles tonight

 

[Olddog]

To celebrate my birthday, I continued my goofy tradition of going my age in mph on my tri glide.

82/82

 

[Krazeehorse]

Parts back from paint. New luggage rack mounted a bit too far back but it will be fine. Re-assembly probably Thursday night.

 

[Zammy]

108 mile breakfast run today, it got up to 85 here and partly cloudy but had some tough crosswinds around 40 mph.

CB install

I installed the CB module and Switch pack on my 2022 Tri-Glide. Bought a Module on Facebook Market. $150.00. Bought the switch pack from Harley. $191.00. Had a friend that had a spare CB antenna. Free. Had the dealer do a "Flash" down load. $75.00. PS: The module was from a 2015 Street-Glide CVO. Worked like a champ.

 

[DeezL]

What did I do new?

Added passenger arm rest & heel shifter

 

[Notgrownup]

DK cooling deflection wings are on, that was easy, forks are off and draining, gonna pick up some 10wt fork oil today and reassemble the front end tonight with the Intiminators… supposed to be nice Saturday so a ride is in order. Pictures are sideways because I was laying down on the job.

 

[Aging Gracefully]

I've been riding in a bunch of cool weather, 35º - 45º almost everyday this week. I broke down and had heated HD Kahuna Back grips put on. They replaced my HD Kahuna un-heated grips that were on it when I bought it last year. Saturday's American Legion Rider's ride is supposed to be around 36º when we start :AGGHH:

 

[Jarhead82]

What year is that, and is that a Sundowner seat ??? I just bought a 2017 with 5100 miles on it ( my 1st 3 wheeler and mannnnnn is it spooky turning and on unlevel road right now )...Anyhow, the dealer ordered me a sundowner with the backrest kit, and mine ( I think ) is gonna look a whole lot like urs. I'll be putting an EGA emblem on the trunk, but otherwise....ha ha ha.....Just checking...Semper Fi and God bless, Marty in Texas

Took a ride out to Lake Henshaw. 180 mile round trip. Still pretty cool up there.
