What did you do to Your Tri-Glide Today?

[ShapeShifter]

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.

Did the basic auto tune with my Power Vision, about 70 miles (both highway & town). Only got about 10 miles on after the tune flash, I like it so far. Going for a longer ride tomorrow with my wife.

Congrats!! :clapping:

I started with that same tune weeks ago with just stock a/c and slip-ons. Have since flashed to Stage 1 w/slip-ons after installing DK Custom's Premium EBS and HiFlow 606 Air Cleaner. This past Sunday I enabled the Auto Tune Basic for the Stage 1 and Slip-on tune. Each migration has provided very noticeable improvements to the trikes performance and it's also breathing easier. Most importantly was the noticeable decrease in felt engine heat on the right side exhaust header.

Enjoy your ride and the benefits from that new tune.ThumbUp

Wife & I did a 130 mile lunch run today. Great day! Trike ran great too, I think I will leave the tune as it is now.

Took the trike in for it's 20,000 mile service, not riding right now because of the love bugs, they're really bad this year.

Rode over for hospital visit Tuesday morning, then met with a couple of Wing Riders (csc trike & 2 wheeler) for lunch. Afterwards, we took a leisurely ride to Wright Patman Dam, then a short zigzag ride across the dam to Wright Patman Lake. Lake level is extremely high due the huge amounts rainfall in Northeast Texas. Nice weather and real nice scenic ride.....it's been 45+ years since I last rode Wright Patman Dam & Lake/Reservoir.

Basically just sat and tried to justify purchasing the filter relocation kit on my trike. Would really like to have it but $350.00 is a lot to pay for laziness in my opinion. Looks great sitting back under the passenger foot-board but being on a fixed income just can't justify it yet..

Installed a pair of Highway pegs. Way better for stretching out on a long ride. On to the next project. ???

Mounting DK oil cooler & oil filter relocation kit on my trike this evening. I had to stop after placing support brace under rear floor board. When I opened the bag of hard ware. I notes the SS bolts all 6 of them are to long. I just have to get the right ones after work. Darn was hoping to be finished today.:gah:

Never fails one hour job takes all day ! But I still love the Kit can't wait to see how much it helps cooling oil.

Next ordering fans and cams. Waho

Man, I hate if we sent you the wrong hardware. Please contact us via email or phone (see contact info below) and let us know what we sent you...maybe email or text a photo...or give us the measurements.

It is so frustrating getting stopped during an install when the wrong parts were included...that is one of the big reasons we started DK was to AVOID situations like that.

I am truly sorry! If they are wrong, we will make it up to you.

Cut a slot in sheepskin to mount backrest and layed it over seat. Then made a 60 mile round trip dinner ride. Photos here...https://www.triketalk.com/forum/thr...ob-almost-done?p=670563&viewfull=1#post670563

Checked tire air , looked at all the green film on it , rode to the Dr. , picked up a battery for my son-in-law’s bike , installed it , went to the market , came home , and said to my self , dirty or clean , she feels good :clapping:.

 

[ShapeShifter]

Did the quarterly check of lug nut torque, cleaned the bugs off with Purple Slice and took a short ride between the t-storms break. Need to debug trike again.

 

[eichchuck]

Installed Zook's rake kit a new clutch cable and cover on my FLHXXX. Pretty straight forward job, used the long clamps suggested by another member to install the extensions everything else was as the instructions said. I have 12 inch apes 38 inches wide at the grips, steering is smooth with just the right drag.

Installed Love Jugs

I have a 2011 Tri glide that I installed Love Jugs on yesterday. The install was very easy and instructions were great. Only difference was that I modified the brace between the cylinders by cutting off the horn tab. I used the frame mounting kit. Worked great!

Yesterday I had to run up to Memphis. Was a warm 94 degrees!

I took the new bypass, 269...

...in Mississippi there was very little traffic....

...but after getting into Memphis Tennessee, there was a bit more traffic.

Even though it was warm, and mostly interstate riding, was nice to be out in the wind!

Installed my Cooling Deflector Wings from DK Customs that I received yesterday. I did notice that mine are different than pictures of others I've seen on TT. Mine have just a straight angle cut instead of the curved cut by the lowers. Mine are at least 3/4 of an inch to 1 inch away from the lowers. Haven't had a chance to get on the highway to see how they work.

2016 Deep Jade Green and Black TG.

I made my Cooling Deflectors Wings for my Freewheeler.



Still need to Paint.

XM Module works

Took a nice ride (88 degrees around noon) to test out the new XM module I installed yesterday. Easier than I thought and it worked like a champ. Got 3 free months so picked the right time to do it. Bought the module, the antenna, and the harness for about a third the price of new (missed the HD tax.. no.. not really) and am really looking forward to getting out this summer w/o having to worry about radio or internet or whatever.
