Oil and filter change. Dealer mechanic torqued the drain plug to over 26 ft/lb. The oil filter was past that. Put two sheet metal screws in the filter wrench and filter housing. Started tearing the filter cover before it started loosing. Sheesh. :Shrug:

Glad you got it taken care of.
Reading comprehension & common sense are practically non-existent in Dealership Service Departments. Gotta find a good mechanic, or do it yourself to make sure things are done right.

Considering it was 8 degrees this morning ( Hats off to those of you that ride in theses temps) I just walked out to the garage to make sure the furnace was working in the garage. Looked at my trike and Road King sitting in the warm garage with the battery tenders on them, sighed and returned to the house.

Yesterday, a friend and fellow HOG member traded his two bikes for a 2016 TriGlide in Purple Fire/Blackberry Smoke. Our active HOG members are pretty evenly split between 2 and 3 wheelers.
Left for breakfast at 8 AM, 142 miles later made it home in time for a shower and supper, lol.

Backed it out the garage so I could get the snapper mower out and then mowed the lawn . Crazy it hasn’t stopped growing this year. After the lawn was done pulled it back in while rocking out to Zebra “Who’s Behind the Door? “ on the bike stereo.

M8 or Twin Cam. What Redshift cams, I have used a lot of Redshift cams I think there a great cam .
Well I pulled the trike out to clean it and go for a ride. When I turned the ignition on, the dash lights where flashing and the sound of relays clicking was all I got. Checked the battery and it read 6 volts! Of course the battery is over 2 years old so out of warranty. Of course I have a year left on the HD extended warranty and have to purchase the battery from HD as not to tempt fate. $200 later a new battery is installed but now the Zeppelin seat is not working. I find and replace a blown 20 amp fuse.
The ride was great!

BH-528 cams, 2014 103 Twin Cam
Doesn't sound like much but my wife has Alzheimer's and I provide 24/7 care so it's a rate thing when I get to ride. Slipped out and went to the grocery store. Short ride, but it was a ride
Mine is currently in pieces in the garage undergoing an exhaust swap. Replacing the old V&H slip-ons with Cobra's and adding a de-catted head pipe. I'll be off the next few days and hope to get it finished and the body put back on and ride to work Sunday night.
I had them in my 2015 free wheeler, I did those cams gutted head pipe, Arlen ness big sucker, S&S Race mufflers power vision that was dynoed by Dr. Dyno. I will kook for the dyno sheet. It really went good and the MPG were good.
Mine is back together and I've been riding. Loving these Cobras. They are deeper but slightly quieter than the V&H Twin slash rounds with no baffle packing. The V&H on a decibel meter were 110db at idle and 130db at WOT. These cobras are 100db at idle and 120db at WOT. I'm sure that will change as they get broke in and I can already feel the de-catted head pipe is much cooler. Not so good in the winter though. Lol

Eagle Lights
Swapped out the OEM lights and replaced with Eagle Genll LED lights and LED Turn Signals. The turn signals turn white while running and flash yellow while making a turn. Big difference between OEM and these Eagle Lights.

Installed CW 2+2 narrow sweeper bars.
So bought the 2014 TG with 12k miles on her 2 weeks ago. She sat for 9 months on a trailer outside in Pueblo, Co after her previous owner passed. At least she had a trike cover on. I put on new tires, new brakes, infotainment firmware/software updates, fixed fairing vent switch, touched up scratches and nicks, changed trans lube and primary oil, changed air filter and cleaned the throttle body, put seafoam in the gas (starts on the first push of the button now), and repainted the scratched up Rinehart exhaust tips. Next up is an oil change and a coolant check and she will be ready for the open road.

If you don’t mind me asking, what part number did you use? I was looking into a flatter/less angle of grip than stock.
Thanks

Spent the morning at the dealership buying a 2022 Tri-Glide. Spent the rest of the day, on-line with the Insurance company, getting it Insured. This is my 4th Tri-Glide. 19th Harley over the years. Momma said this is the last one. Hey, I get it. Going to be hard trying to find Accessories. Dealer say's they can't get anything in. Bummer.
