What did you do to Your Tri-Glide Today?

[TrainingWheels]

Synthetic Oil

I had the original oil changed out for Synthetic Oil today. I swear it runs smoother, sounds different, and has more power? Might be my imagination, whatever, I like it. Now to put some more miles on it

Wow what a great day for August in the South. Temp at 10 am was only 75. Went for a lunch ride and a long meandering ride back home with a few friends. 110 miles of enjoyment that it wasn't 95 degrees lol.

Serviced the Trike ,after our 5300 mile ride. Now if I can get some energy, I need to give it a bath.

 

[PosseRider]

Washed & got the bugs off. Will try some "TORQUE" on it now

I got out on a good 250 mile loop yesterday from S. IL. along the Mississippi River up to Louisiana, MO and back on the secondary country roads. Coming out of MO into IL halfway between the river and Atlas, I noticed a moving van with a string of cars behind it oncoming traffic. Something in my mind clicked "be careful" and sure as heck, some knucklehead pulled out around that UHaul and blasted by it in my lane. We were all 3 abreast. Luckily, there was a good shoulder for me to pull over on and I anticipated somebody was going to do that. Training and experience just took over and served me well. I took it all in stride. I always drive with my high beams and passing lamps on during the day plus extra lights on the engine guards, so there should have been no reason for that joker not to have seen me. Still... Be careful out there boys and girls. If it can happen, it probably will.

Ditto. Good work at being aware and always having an escape route. :clapping:

You're right about that! After over a month of days with the high's about 95, this last week was really nice.

Dwayne and I did some heat test runs the other day and it was only 83-86 F during the runs. We have more lined up this coming week where it will be back at 95 F the first part of the week. :xzqxz:

Left home about 8:30 am for a little Sunday morning ride to downtown Memphis. Sunday is quiet and laid back in the downtown area. No work day traffic, most businesses are closed this early and tourists are recovering from Saturday night on Beale Street. Quite naturally we wound up at our favorite restaurant for breakfast . . . the world famous Arcade Restaurant - https://arcaderestaurant.com/history/

And it was frequented by none other than Elvis Presley. In fact Elvis was there this morning and stopped by to say 'hello.'

Well Old Shiney rode to the office this morning ya kno riding in fog is the next thing to rain LOL TRAVEL SAFE Fred

You got very lucky getting that one bolt out. Can I suggest antisieze on the threads instead of loctite. It will be easier on the threads. I have been using loctite for many years on parts like that, I see the rust in the pics, ALL my baggers rusted that way. I used some black spray epoxy in those holes

If you are using a lock washer on those bolts, a bit of antisieze on both sides of the lock washer will help from breaking the bolt at the head, this is where the threads first start to twist

 

[Fearless]

just a thought

Fuzz on a few applications like that I used a dremel tool wire wheel (small one) and cleaned them really well and used rust converter then went with a good lube. Jack most likely said it best anti-seize and a good torque value will serve much better. just sayin

I'm sorry you had problems, but you said it, it could have been worse. (as always) Tell the dog to not push down so hard on the passenger pegs. I like the pics of the new shield & I can also see you lost the phone # for 1-800-GOT-JUNK

My garage looks like a bomb went off in it, BUT I know where everything is.

I've never used any special valve stem, nor had any issues from using the OEM stems.

It is a PITA to get the beads in...not because it is particularly difficult, it is just a slow process. 7 or 8 o'clock is what workd fastest (least slow) for me.

I've run these in dozens of tires, and always try and put them in when the tire is being mounted...much easier.

I've always removed the weights, including on the rear tires. Have well over 150K miles on trikes running them and they work well.
