What did you do to Your Tri-Glide Today?

[DK Custom Products]

Was an unseasonably cool morning, so made a caged drive for grocery shopping. Temperatures were quickly climbing on the way back home. Feels like great weather for a late morning breakfast run. Made the ride and decided to take time out for a photo opt...Two Cities, Two States.......ok, so it's not as famed as Four Corners, but it's what's we're workin' with here....:laugh:

Very cool pic. Got to look for that one next time.

We pass thru Texarkana every other year or so. It's where my dad was born, so I always take a photo and send it to him.

Cool...you've got a T-Town connection.

Since breakfast is my favorite meal, I'm always on the hunt for a good breakfast anytime location.

Cracker Barrel off I-30 Richmond Road Exit is always a good reliable spot. But downtown Texarkana Johnny B's, 224 E 5th St, Arkansas side is a great breakfast spot too. Just east of that photo spot off State Line. If you haven't been and times available when passing through, stop in and enjoy their hospitality, and good food.

I'm all in for any breakfast spot that has good Turkey Sausage Patties on the menu.:chef:

Well finally I got my gas leak fixed, It was leaking at the quick disconnect at the tank. I had the tools from my 10 Ultra that was leaking. So I pulled it apart to find out I must have done the valve kit last time... I didnt have the top O-ring. So I ordered 5 from Fuel-Tool.. For some reason they werent big enough, they fell out of the tool and wouldn't stay in the valve on the tank... So I went to the HD shop. Big joke their, they didn't even have a part number for the top O-ring... I found one in a O-ring package at a parts store...

Found out by watching the video again. I found out I didn't need to replace the top one. Its the bottom one that leaks. The top one seals off the gas when you take the line loose... Anyway thats fixed... Its a 12, but when I bought it it had 5400 miles, now its a little over 6000. Muddy gravel Iowa roads suck...

Also I installed the Custom Dynamics Magic Strobes for my brake lights... I just missed being rear ended in my jeep once by some brain dead, so I make everything to be seen now.... Nice thing it said install it before the brake light module... I even got out the book that shows the wiring diagram, and it doesnt have one. It goes from the main harness to the tail light harness.... I plugged it in, it works fine.... Some more of HD's fine work....

I have it set 3 blinks, 3 second hold and three flashes, keeps doing it... That might wake the brain dead up... I know I always hated behind someone that had them.... So they work....

The trike was washed and clean, so took it for a little ride...then had to clean the bugs off after returning.:laugh:

Took my wife for a ride, then did the three hole service while everything was warm. Re-torqued the lug nuts from the Goodyear ComforTred install.

FYI - The quickest way to lubricate your ratchet wrench is to drop it in the used oil container.

Maybe not the quickest ... but the most thorough ...

Then came the wiping off of the excess

I fell into a barrel of drain oil once, the lubrication really didn't do much for me!!

I used to have to clean black oil tanks ... no fun.

So far this weekend has been a bust for riding due to storms and a lot of rain. Kind of boring, so pushed the Trike to the back of the carport and took some lighting pics.

Not a very nice day for riding so like many of the others have done I added an extra tether to the tour pack lid just for some insurance in case the original would fail.

Installed floor board extenders and tank lifts, easy to do. Raining to much to ride after.

No Rain!... checked tire & air shock pressures, then took a 136 mile meandering Sunday Breakfast Ride to the East. Cool damp start, but nice warm finish.

Ordered Chrome and Black 5 Micron Oil Filters.

Rode it to work this morning. Nice 68 degrees and sunny! Way more better than a cage!

Spent some time looking it over with Devin today, we have a new idea that he's going to start working on!

Gonna take the long way home in a bit, then get it ready for OEM shock testing tomorrow.
