What did you do to Your Tri-Glide Today?

[rhino 2]

Un-less you painted the weights' Harley uses lead ones [un-colored] ......

As far as the jack handle i get shined every now and then from the tow hitch on my Ram truck... :gah:....

P/S If you apply a little McKees 37 wheel protector/cleaner to those wheels that dust wont stick to them...

Damn Fuzzy. Not sure what that knee looked like before you fell but it sure doesn't look right now. Be careful man. You ain't getting any younger and that ground / concrete seems to get harder and harder. Seriously take care and hope you get to feeling better soon.

Finally installed the comfort lift. What a difference it makes on suspension and steering. What is more interesting is that it already had the Legend trike lift kit already installed but I could not tell an improvement until the comfort lift was installed. I used the max lift settings. Oh yeah, the Legend is twice as much!

Clutch/Brake Fluid

Took my trike to an indy dealer and had the clutch and brake fluid changed. Almost a year over due but I sleep better knowing it's done. $80 and 1 hour. Local HD dealer quoted $150.

That is great to hear. Was just talking earlier today, with a guy that builds quarter million dollar off road racing vehicles, about suspension and geometry, specifically about the increased angle on the shocks that the Convertible Comfort Lift™ gives.

We designed it because it made common sense to get those shocks at more of an angle....he was talking numbers and shaft speed and a bunch of other stuff I did not understand or retain. lol

All that matters is that these really make a nice improvement in ride quality.

Oh, yeah, Legend copied our old design, and charges twice what we charge for our new design. Goes to show, you DON'T always get what you pay for.

Yeah It’s like with every hobby once you reach the pinnacle you’re done there is nothing more to do to take up the boredom so you go out trade it in and move on to a new Hobby.....

Backseat is smaller than the Gold Wings you had in the past... the pet palace might be WAY too big for that seat.

where are you staying while in the area ? Make sure you have a mask. Last I heard they were used at the AF museum. There are several motels on Miller lane ,Dayton. many eating places. There is a Comfort right up the street from AF but kinda high dollar

Let the air out with the valve stems in then after all Air is out just unscrew the valve stems...

 

[Jack Klarich]

Why not just depress the schrader valve with a pencil type tire gauge or

the bleed off valve on one of these?

After ride repairs

1250 mile trip. Wards fans quit working on the temperature switch , bypassed to keep cool. Today I cleaned the connections and back in business. Wasn’t happy with highway pegs position so moved them and went for test ride an a fill up. Sounded fine on ride to station. Heard a rattle on start up. Exhaust bracket 1 bolt out on transmission side and bolt out on the head pipe side. So exhaust has to come off for repair. Good thing I still have a 2 wheeler for back up. Still a slight weep from the head breathers banjo bolts.

Directions are for amateurs....

Directions are for amateurs....

Maybe so but now he has the wrong valve stem in.

 

[PosseRider]

Been a long time since I installed those, but I think they are different to help keep beads from getting stuck in stem & allowing air to bleed off

Been doing a lot of different tests on the Tri Glide the last couple of months...heat run comparisons with an M8 Softail, and a ton of suspension testing.

Did an oil change last weekend...took the time to do a video (that should be out soon) on how to clean a permanent performance oil filter.

Going to wash it tomorrow for the first time in months. Loving how well the ceramic coating is working.
