What did you do to Your Tri-Glide Today?

[Notgrownup]

My new Fuelmoto pipe and Power vision 3 are working very well. Little more pep in the throttle and a bit cooler.

 

[Mykneesbehurtin]

Did my service, 3 hole change. Checked air pressure in tires, inspected air filter, checked rear wheel torque then washed.

Dealer visit.
Went to the dealership the other day. I was thinking my Compensator was making too much noise. The "tech" took it for a ride. Came back and said the Compensator was starting go bad, but was OK to drive for a while. ?? Also said my left muffler was loose. I got under it today and found the rubber cushion slide back. So I just slid it forward and it was no longer making any noise. Everything else was tight.

 

[Zammy]

Not today but yesterday got a nice 90 mile breakfast ride in.

Curious if this was this a freebie or an HD($100)

Stopped for gas this morning on my coffee run…I think I was cutting it a little too close..It took 5.8 gallons to fill up….

You definitely don’t want that compensator to come apart in the primary, it will take out several other components!

 

[Notgrownup]

My trunk push button was extremely loose and I was having a hard time getting the key in and out. Took it apart, the “U” retaining clip was too spread out, squeezed it back into position and reassembled it. “Voila”. Satisfaction… next re-torque my exhaust header nuts.. little more involved be cause I have to remove the chrome shields and the right radiator lower. Well not completely but enough to get to the header stud nut.

I have a new-to-me 2009 Tri Glade Ultra. Fortunately, I previously had a 2008 Ultra Classic and kept all my notes from 10 years of ownership and upgrades. Today's project concerns a fairing mount for my Garmin Zumo.

Lurking about did not reveal whether the Garmin Zumo XT is compatible with “Road Tech Zumo GPS Fairing Mounting Kit, p/n 92338-09, $55, advertised for mounting a Garmin 660/665. The answer is YES, if you also have the Zumo XT motorcycle base. (Probably all Garmin motorcycle bases can attach to the same mount, e.g., a Ram-Mount.) Also, there are parts in the H-D mounting kit that will connect the Zumo XT power lead to the accessory connectors in the headlamp loom.

However, because Garmin's motorcycle base for Zumo-XT is a simple 2-pin power connector, H-D cannot provide a wiring harness kit for audio system integration. Therefore, you must either depend on the Zumo XT external speaker (barely adequate in a car!) or will need to use wireless helmet communicators such as Sena or Cardo.

IMHO, this is a much better solution than still using H-D's '96-'13 comm system. (Caveat: if you need your CB radio, then plug in a handheld mic.) Newer bikes probably need a different fairing mount -- and I don't know if H-D does or will offer one.

First ride since March

 

[Zammy]

27 miles to breakfast yesterday, 95 to get home, it was a good day riding, only about 100° heat index.

 

[New Orleans Kevin]

Only moved it to get the TORO out. It’s that time of year here; I’ve got to mow every 10 days!!

No charge. But found out my warranty was over.

I bled my clutch and had a heck of time, but got it done, need to find some speed bleeders for it, have heard this is easy, if anybody knows what size let me know, it is a 2018 harley triglide and it is stock slave cylinder.


All for now Trampas

 

[hydraglide]

Just returned from a 12 day, 4500 plus mile trip from Chicago to Santa Monica riding/following old Route 66, then returned home through Utah and Colorado and Nebraska…

An epic journey to say the least! Stormy, super hot, and spectacular all in one package! …My Tri Glide preformed flawlessly in the heat (3 days above 110), AND on the road to Oatman.

Me? I need a day or so to recover before I attempt to remove some SERIOUSLY baked on bugs!

 

[Gorilla]
