What did you do to Your Tri-Glide Today?

[kingfish108]

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.

When I started looking at extensions, I gave thought about how they would hold up with the stress of using the floorboard to get on and off the trike. That's why I bought the extension kit from DK Customs. I found a couple kits that cost less, but I was somewhat concerned about the quality. I am looking forward to a more comfortable ride and less heat on my legs, especially in crosswinds.

Got Blessed

Rode to get my bike Blessed today, was 51 and kind of nice tbh. 2nd year (went last year 2 weeks after getting the trike). It was actually held at the dealership where I bought my bike, so lots of people. Neat thing happened though. A guy came up and asked how I like it. Of course I was all about how great it is, set a world record etc. Turns out he was the guy who traded my trike in and recognised it by the passenger cup holder. Go figure! So yeah, nice ride, got blessed and made found a new friend.

Bluetooth Helmets

Today we bought new modular helmets and 30K Bluetooth communications sets. Also had to buy a module for the Trike in order to use them Also got a half helmet with the boom stuff built in. I will take the bike in next Monday and get the module installed and everything paired up, I hope:xzqxz: We have 3 group rides scheduled in the next week and a half so should have a good feel for how they work in the next couple of weeks

New seat Well new to me.

I have had a few issues with the seat (10) yr. old, so when another member offered his OEM take off seat for paying for the shipping I accepted his generous offer. Slightly damaged easy repair was done in no time, now to wait for the weather in spring. ride safe Fred/Jeanne

Had to work on the chrome today, we live about 2 miles inland from the Gulf of Mexico but have to keep after the chrome a couple times a year to eliminate pitting.

 

[Mykneesbehurtin]

I hobbled out to the garage,first time since my knee replacement and looked at my Tri Glide and Road King checked to make sure the battery tenders are still green,wishing it was spring and i'm all healed up enough to ride.

 

[Fearless]

Look good Fuzz I don't think I could use them they are just a little low for my liking and my 2+2 wide sweepers They sure look good though.

Took it out for what turned out to be quite a nice cruise. Made the copilot put a jacket on and she's glad I did. Just about 100 miles round trip up I-10 for some lunch.

 

[PosseRider]

Absolutely nothing. lol still at Dealer having some things changed.

 

[DK Custom Products]

Wow, I've been riding the TG in a lot of cold weather the last couple of weeks.

It sure was nice to ride in this morning with the temp at a balmy 52 degrees.

I hope it holds for tomorrow. I have a 300-400 mile test run I need to do on the Softail. :xzqxz:

I installed my primary case vent. Had to run back to the parts store to get another quart of primary case oil. Required 34 ozs. and only had a quart.

I installed my de-catted head pipe. Going to take a run through the big sand box tomorrow to see if it makes a difference.

First mod 'SS Wheel Disc Plates' to my 2020 Tri Glide

I installed the RJS Originals Mirror Polished Stainless Steel Wheel Disc Plates. I used my homemade ramps (that I use when loading the trike into my F150 bed using my Rampage lift) to raise the trike off the floor. I then used a small hydraulic jack with a small split 2X4 against the strap tie down loop area and worked one side at a time removing wheel and installing disc. They make the wheel look good and should keep the brake dust off the outside surface of the wheel. I tried uploading pictures but failed doing so.

 

[ChuluotaChuck]

Tried adding photos. Didn't come out so well but you get the idea of what I did to add the SS wheel discs

 

[Zammy]

Looking good Chuck, nice job.

Tomorrow will be 4 weeks since a Total right knee replacement and since its 58 in Ohio today i went to the garage to see if i can get on the trike. And the answer was YES,reaching the rear brake with full foot contact is doable but not lighting fast,put my foot out on the highway peg and it was pretty comfy. Don't want to push it just yet,we are going to Fla in early March and my buddy has two trikes so want to be healed up for a week in the sun.
