Mother's polishing ball is great for this I have one with a 12" extended shaft works really well. Fred

Cleaning my front wheel is a lot easier and quicker now that I lift it using a Motorcycle Sissor Jack. Much easier to spin the wheel, than roll the entire trike.

I have that Red Ball also,but did not use it. As small as the wheel area is,just a rag works well. Jack up wheel & rotate. Easy Peezy :clapping::clapping:

After almost a week of the temps bouncing between the teens and low 30's, it has been really nice the last few days riding in the high 40's-mid 60's.

Rode it to work this morning (27 degrees). I'm annoyed that the $280 Harley heated grips do almost nothing. The $50 Symtec Heated Grips that I installed on my FJR1300 work just fine.

I talked to my parts guy and said that I need to swap them out for another set. He said that I have to have their service department verify that the grips are defective since I installed them myself.

Went to the dealer, had 2 software upgrades done. One was for the traction control, the other was for using the cloud app, that I don’t use. They also replaced the chrome bezel for the speedo as it cracked, and they ordered a new speedo as moisture is getting in leaving some staining on the inside of the glass.

Out for a ride and pulled into a local park to see if the dolphins were around today and heard a really odd sound when going slow. After we parked, starting looking around and found the horn hanging from it's wires banging on the cylinder, damn, the bracket broke. Got the bracket off and zip tied the wires out of the way, geez, $35 for a new horn bracket, all installed and the horn still works, lol.

Seen that many times....... pretty common HD issue.

Glad you got it fixed easily!

Yep, had a few break myself in the last 6-7 years. Don't remember seeing it as much prior.

True that Fuzzy, I've got a set of Ward's fans that so far have worked well through 22,000 miles. When they go kaput I'll definitely get the jugs although I really like how the fans work off a thermal switch and keep running for about 5 minutes after the bike is shut down.

Yeah, I like the thermostat on my Wards fans, too. One of the fans quit this Spring and I replaced it. So far, so good.

Lift Kits

Over the weekend I installed a lift kit for the gas tank on my '17 TG. While I was at it, I installed the convertible lift kit for the rear. Yesterday I had a pair of Goodyear Comfortreds put on while I had the trike jacked up. I removed my mufflers to give a wider spread on the jack stands and took the opportunity to give them a good cleaning.

Both lift kits went on real easy. Should have burnt a couple more gallons of gas before doing the tank. Got both kits from DK. Very happy with the pricing, quality of parts, good instructions and fast service.

Safety Recall

I got a Safety Recall from HD the other day. It states "The electro-hydraulic control unit (EHCU) software on affected motorcycles may respond incorrectly to a faulty rear wheel speed signal by activating one of the rear brakes. Unintended activation of one rear brakes could lead to an unexpected change in vehicle direction which may increase the risk of a crash. Vehicles affected are 2019-2020- Trike models

(FLHTCUTG, FLRT, AND FLHTCUTGSE). Anyone else get this notice? Good time to take it in to the dealership.

Wife and I went to Candle Light Service this evening I have a picture on my phone, but can't seem to move it from Facebook to here:-(

Got my floorboard extensions in the mail yesterday. Just got done installing. Install went smooth and easy. Just sitting on the trike the position of my feet feels a lot better.

Believe it or not I broke mine

Got my floorboard extensions in the mail yesterday. Just got done installing. Install went smooth and easy. Just sitting on the trike the position of my feet feels a lot better.

I don't remember where I got them, but we were grouping up to take off for the Guinness run and when I got off my trike, the bolt snapped. I weigh 230, and they were less than a year old. I got it fixed with new bolts, but had lost the extension itself. I'm going to work on a new design for some 1.5 inch extensions that are more robust.

I hope you enjoy yours! I know my right leg was a LOT cooler when I had em on.
