What did you do to Your Tri-Glide Today?

[nucseal]

What tire did you put on?

 

[Fearless]

Sorry for the correction but I'm running Viva 3's made in USA. RATED car and mini van. They are quiet, stable in corners, and work really well in rain wet roads. The ride is very nice solid cornering I could not be happier ride safe Fred

P.s. viva3's were my cost was 108 mounting and balance for both including road tax and sales tax

Did you have WalMart mount them? I had a reputable indy auto tire shop mount the ComforTreds on my 2018 after I'd had it a few months and they put some fairly deep gouges along the outside edge of my wheels. To their credit they sent them to a wheel repair shop which buffed / polished them and did a great job but I don't want to go through that again. Thinking if I do change to the Goodyears I'll see if my Harley dealer will mount them as they have more experience and guarantee me they won't gouge or scratch my wheels.

Now realize I knew all the oil techs. in the shop and yes they mounted them under the threat of death from me and the Automotive manager as well. These are great tires at least I think so built for a lot more weight than they will ever see on a Trike. Quiet, stable and great in rain been caught twice on very wet roads. And they are made in the USA. And priced reasonable as well. I believe any good tire will work especially with Pro Action Shocks these tires work for us. They had to order in the 205X70RX15 for me but only took a few days. Ride safe Fred

P.S. forgot to mention about the improved handling the front end seems very planted handles better than ever.

Jerry the HD dealer may not mount them. The dealer in Miami will not mount tires not purchased thru them. They say for insurance reasons.

All good tire stores have newer Machines

The new tire machines never touch the front of the wheels they call them no touch for a reason nylon tools. the machines they only secure from the back with padded jaws there as well. At least here in Pennsylvania can't speak for Florida, The number of Mag. wheels out there today you would think most places would have newer machines that won't mark up wheels.:good: travel safe Fred

Jerry, could you post a pic of new shield?? Went to their web site But, didn't see the wide. I do have the Reaper from LRS but would like to see yours. My service is on the 16th & going to let dealer install the 14" shocks & the front suspension from ProAction also. Fred (Fearless) offered to come over from Pa & help me,but I have about 400 free money, & thought with the custom paint we have, if it got chipped or anything, it would be on their dime not mine.

Hey Bill. I know you said 'never mind' but I'm posting a couple pics for those who may not be familiar with Freedom shields. Best out there imo.

I had forgot, (CRS) I had that shield. One season & covered with scratch's. Always used a soft cloth. Anyway I now have a LRS Reaper. Wide like the Freedom. The Freedom was so bad I thrashed it. Don't remember ever having a shield do that before that bad. I pulled out an old LRS I had for years & put it on end of last year & there were no scratch's on it but it was old style & we really liked the wider Freedom. Now LRS has the Reaper which is similar to the Freedom. Boys got it for me for Xmas, so I would have it when the new bike came, Janiene really likes it also.

I looked at the LRS and it is a good shield for sure but John at Freedom has treated me so well on a couple shields I got from him that I went back to Freedom. Don't know why yours scratched so bad but you should have called John and I bet he would have made it right. I had his Freedom shield on my 2018 for over 25k and while I did get a couple small rock pecks I had absolutely no scratches. Anyway good luck to us both in our choices.

Brown Truck Showed up Today

And dropped this stuff off



The 17 TG is coming up on 50K miles and the manual calls for rebuilding the Front shocks so I ordered a kit, oil, Seals and Bushings from Pro Action.

Really nice people and fast shipping, ordered about noon Monday

I have a trip coming up the end of this month through the 4th and plan to have them installed after we return.

Bob get them done now you will not believe the difference, these will end the nose dives and washing out on the curves. Just one day for a novice and if you have done it before it is simple. Bump the rebuild up on the to do list to before the trip. travel safe Fred

You might want to try more nitrogen in that front tire.

I don't have an Avon right now, but when I did, I ran 41 in it and liked it. It still had that different feel about it, but it either went away after a while, or I got used to it. I described what it was like in post #24 at this thread- https://www.triketalk.com/forum/threads/45222-Avon-front-tire/page3

Regarding the rears...if you liked how the shocks were set prior to installing the Comfortreds, why not leave the shocks alone and put more PSI in the tires to reduce the sidewall flex that is making the squishy feeling you don't like?

The shocks are dialed in....it is the tires that changed that resulted in more squishiness than you like. They are rated for more air if you want, and that will reduce what you're not liking.

I n my experience towing trailers best way to fined out hook up and load it and take a ride cautiously at first best way to go. I would increase tire pressures first though. Good luck pray it all comes together for you Fred

 

[Fearless]

Good work Alan if I ever need advice on adj. Our Pro Actions I know who to contact. Travel safe Fred

 

[DK Custom Products]

Cool!

Sounds like you have it dialed in with the new tires.

I know you've taken a long time to get everything "just" where you want it. More than most of us would....BUT, I still remember, like it was yesterday, how good your Power Vision tune was. Better than I got (after MANY, MANY hours of tweaking) and better than any tune that I had seen generated by dyno work.

It really is the little things that make a difference, and enough of them combined make a Big Difference!

The important thing is, You're Happy!

Kevin

P.S. Yeah, you're more performance oriented than plush.
