Do any bird hunting with that Shorthair’? I hunted a lot over my Old Man’s shorthair (Pheasant, Quail, Partridge)…

I never did, but my son/inlaw did. Short hairs are very good dog, Plato thought he was a human being. Boy could he smell things. :Santa:

New amp and stuff
Finished up doing new speakers and amp today. Took alot longer then I had planned for. But thats why I waited for the weather to cool off. Everything was pretty straight forward EXCEPT the speaker pods. Don't watch any of the YT videos' out there and think it's gonna be easy. The Trike is different. With our rake the last three bolts on either pod are pretty hard to get to. Make sure you have a long (like 24") extension and swivel sockets. Not just a universal. Maybe a ball joint allen wrench would work. It took longer to get those bolts out then the rest of the install. I found the best way to get to them is to remove the passing lights and fasteners that hold the fairing in place. Lift up about an inch or 2 and tilt the fairing forward. The fork down tubes block four of the bolts. Otherwise...easy day...or two....maybe three if your retired and don't care how long it takes. More if you don't use the Cicada HDTLINK harness.

Picked up the Tri today.. Had brakes & clutch fluids changed, Also Cat free installed & some bushings replaced on the forks. Now it's home & will change all the oils for the long winter nap.. Sounded good at start-up,will see when we ever get a warm day.(not gonna hold my breath)... At least it will run a little cooler.
Changed all the oils & filter today & cleaned air filter.
Moved the battery maintainer from the scooter to the tri .
Took the 14" shocks off to send to George@ Pro Action for service. NOT fun
Got in a nice 80 mile ride for breakfast then dropped off at dealer for 5K service.
New stuff
Today I added an wider front shift peg and a wider foot brake pad. I also replaced the screen saver on the Nav/radio screen. I tried to add LED light bulbs to the tail lights but they just blink too fast and not in unison with the Tour Pak turn signal. Does anyone make just the light bulbs and not the whole tail light unit?

Custom Dynamics does. Pro Beam tail lights and also for the tour pak light bar. Other vendors may also.
Seem to remember.... Turn ignition ON & hold both Turn for a min or 2. Sylvania makes the bulb ...somewhere on here Jack posted the #. They work great & r super bright
Found it...
Not a Triglide, but I use them on my FLRT Freewheeler
They are brighter than stock bulbs, draw less amperage and will last longer
You will probably have to sync it to your BCM by turning the ignition on and running the 4 ways for a minute or 2
These are available every where

LED tail lights
Perhaps my problem was not syncing the bulbs that I did try. I will put them back in and give it a try. I did find the Sylvania bulbs on Amazon in case the ones I have don't work.
Thanks for the quick response. Now to wait for the after Christmas sales for more stuff.

Trunk light
Add a nice LED light I had left over from my old Ultra. In case you didn't know, under the trunk lid cover the license plate light circuit has a pigtail thats hot all the time. Saves running a line back to the battery or tourpac to get a hot line.

Great idea... Where did u find the light? TIA
With my 2019 Try-Glide...That pig tail is only hot when the Ignition Switch is on Ignition or the Accessory Position..

Harley part. I had then already but the ones for the saddlebags crapped out. I had to buy complete set to replace them. Had the master left over.

Santa brought a new chrome trim piece for the fairing! Merry Christmas to all!
Belated question.....If its hot all the time.?..The light will stay on all the time, or did you put a on/off switch in line ??
I went out and looked at the spot it normally sets, it's in the shop for brake fluid and clutch fluid change.

That light set has a built in timer. Hit it once and it stays one for about a minute or so. Till I remembered I had this light I was looking at a ball style tilt switch that would turn on when the hatch is open.

One guy put battery operated lights inside the trunk and tourpak.
We’re you that one guy :Shrug:

Negative, it was posted in this forum a couple years ago. It's a good idea.
I had an LED light bar in my 16. did not reinstall in the 20. Motion activated. so was dead most of time . Rechargeable but a pain. May look for one with a on/off switch. However got shoved on the back-burner & never got to the front again. lol
This thread woke me up. Got some 12V w/switch ordered. Have to install when shocks come back. Did get new Goodyears for the back wheels. Looking for a new front also,but can't seem to find anyone using the new Avon. So no input. Removing an Elite 3,which was not too bad.
