What did you do to Your Tri-Glide Today?

[Mixitman]

It's gonna be louder epper:

Thanks for the compliment.
.....I like holes

Who doesn't?

Looks great. Think it gives more of a finished appearance than flat aluminum, light old school ( I hate that term, but it applies here) lightening holes ThumbUp

Awesome! I was washing gigi last week, and as I was doing that flat portion next to seat, I was thinking that would be a great spot for speakers. Seeing this pic makes it even more a desireable mod sometime down the road (hopefully soon). Using the same speakers as the passenger-mount ones really completes the look. Kudos for taking the plunge (scary cutting into body parts without knowing how it will look/perform) ThumbUpThumbUpThumbUp

One of the first things that I got after buying the Tri-Glide was a 3 piece Tour-Pak wall organizer part #53000303. It came with long velcro strips that Harley calls "hinge strips" and are supposed to stick to the liner walls. But since the liner is a felt like material I wondered how well the hings strip would stick to the felt. Without the strips the velcro already sewed onto the back of the organizer pockets stuck to the felt so I just pressed them up against the sides and forgotaboutit. But....they did not stick that well and often slid down while on a ride or came off whenever I tried to put something in or out of the pockets. So I decided to secure the pockets myself.

I first tried Pop Rivets, but the ones that I had were too short and did not hold well. So I removed the Pop Rivets and bolted the pockets to the liner with 4MM x 8MM black button heads and nuts. I had to shorten each button head by 1-2MM so the bolts would not scratch the inside walls of the Tour-Pak, but now all three pockets are very secure, and I can remove them if I need to.

Installed a ClutchWIZ

I ordered it when I got back from last weeks ride that included 1 1/2 hours of stop & go rush hour traffic. It certainly makes a difference! I didn't have a way to measure the before and after pressure, but I'm guessing between 30 and 40 % lighter now. I feel like the travel between disengagement and engagement is a bit shorter also. That could have been just the change in adjustment.

I'm not looking for any gridlock to test it with, but about 25 miles of back roads felt really good.

Too crappy to ride today, so installed chrome windshield trim & chrome rear bumper.

Do we have any idea if they are planning on making one for the 2014 and up models?

14 and up are hydraulic, so it's not an option. They can't even be adjusted. I suggest using hand-grippers when you're not riding to make a difference.

Got the 1k service done today, Hope to get pics taken before I get it dirty again!

The Wife and I where just up your way a couple of weeks ago! Did all the back roads up to Elkhart Lake and then over to Sheboygan for dinner Stephano's {sp?}. Some beautiful colors and nice back roads. A good place to be some more miles on that new Trike!!

Wife & I rode through there a week or so ago and I went through there again last week. I like riding the Tri through there better than 2 wheels, less worries in the corners!! You probably went through Dundee as well, nice there also. Shoot me a pm the next time you plan to come this way, meet for lunch maybe.

Went on a little 550 or so mile trip today with a few friends.. Sadly, for me, one of them was a bit too close, and not paying attention while we were entering a toll road.. I was 3rd bike (of 5) to move out, and some jackass in a Jeep decided to punch it to get between us.. I stopped, my buddy didn't.. not until he smacked my fender anyway

Oh well.. nobody hurt.. no dmg on friend's bike.. will find out Monday what it's gonna cost to replace. Glad the light didn't break because that would have added a hefty $$ to the sum.

 

[Fearless]

Thank goodness no injury's

Sorry to see your ride damaged thank God no one was hurt fearless

 

[Zammy]

Sorry about the accident Mixitman, at least you are OK.

Had my Indy switch out the stock head pipe for an S&S decatted head pipe yesterday. Got a 90 mile ride in today and am very pleased. Sound is a little louder and deeper, I like it. 50 degrees here so not much to see on reduced heat, but trike seems snappier. Probably a combination of this mod, engine more broken in (1300 miles) and switch to Syn 3 at the 1k service. I know I can find neutral a lot easier now. Very happy with this thing!

 

[Texan]

Got the helmet, gloves and jacket on. Pulled the tricycle out of the shop.....30-35 mph wind, 38 degrees.. pulled back in the shop. Got in pickup and drove to work.

Think winter is knocking at the door.

Put the new 13" Freedom windshield on but won't have a chance to ride until Friday, looking like excellent weather for the whole weekend.

 

[crabman]

Put a set of long horn highway pegs on feel great. They fit my long legs good.
Whats next ?

 

[BillR]

I found some LED lights on the clearance rack at Northern Tool for $1.50 each. I picked up four. The batteries need to be replaced (3 triple A's each), but you still can't beat the price.
I put one on the inside lid of my tour pack right next to the lock. Does a decent job. I plan on putting two inside the trunk, but have not decided exactly where.

 

[67wizard]

Put on the Kuryakyn adjustable passenger pegs for the wife.
Now for a ride to see if she is happy.

We've had snow on the ground for the last few days (unusual for us).


It was mostly gone today. I put my winter windshield on and went for a putt.

[bronxbill]

Since it was 67 degrees today, went for a nice ride

 

[Fearless]

Sorry to hear

Fuzz it stinks just plain old stinks. Fearless

 

[DK Custom Products]

Just walked in from the shop.


I changed my Stealth LED Driving Lights back to the engine guard mount from the under the floorboard mount.


I installed the Extended & Lowered Brake Pedal Arm.


Tomorrow, in the light, will take some pics.


Gonna be 60* here tomorrow!

[bronxbill]

Installed new front brake pads. Could have gone another 1000 miles or so, but I had the time now.

 

[jc1300]

So I saw this at the dealer a couple of weeks ago...



So today I got these! Gonna let them hang for a bit then it's Fringe Time Baby!!
