I made that to fit the hitch receiver. I welded a thin steel plate to a piece of square tube that fit the receiver. The light came from a web search. I wired a plug to fit the Bushtec wiring on the trike.

Nice job! But wait, don't you know HD doesn't want you pulling a trailer with a Tri?

Excellent report on everything! But it made my to-get list longer. Definitely going to get those wind deflectors.

I'd also added a rear light; I curved some aluminum angle to match the Rivco bumper, and screwed it into four RivNut threaded inserts installed in the pre-existing holes in the bumper, added two 12" LED strips to the angle piece. Works pretty good.





This doesn't show how bright they are.




Not sure why the yellow glow, the LEDs are very red.

Added some sideways-firing LED strips to the body, facing up towards the tour pack, too.

Getting a few more things done on the Project TG. We're headed to NC next weekend for a Trike get together!

Testing out some aftermarket shocks-





Got tired of my mis-matched floorboards, got em all matching now.





My latest, and probably last for the back-end, effort in SEE & BE SEEN.

The LED's are semi-frenched in to the filler plate we made.




They operate as Run-Brake-Turn. They are in Run in the photo below-




Below is a pic with the brakes on.

Kevin


When you installed the bolt-on Tour-Pak Relocator, did you have to do anything with the wiring for the Tour-Pak lights, radio and CB antenna wires when moving the Tour-Pak back 3 inches?


I'm sure interested in the Tour-Pak relocator for my 2016 Tri-Glide.


Thanks


Jim




[QUOTE=DK Custom;15126316]We did a few things



Friday I went ahead and installed a bolt-on Tour-Pak Relocator. It has 3 choices, 1", 2" or 3" further back. I went ahead with the 3" further back. So Mary has a bit of room, and I have a bit more room between the TP and the top of the trunk body. The Relocator move the TP up about .75 of an inch.

Hi Jim,

The wires are long enough, but sometimes you have to cut some of the zip ties under the seat to free up the extra length. If you email the shop at Support@DKCustomProducts.com they can email you back the instructions so you can see how easy it is to do.

Hey Recon,

I too need to have the handlebars closer.

I used the stock bars. Cut them in the middle of each side and added 9" of straight tubing. Cleaned up the welds and had them powder coated.

Not only did it bring them closer to me, but it made the grips wider, so that gives more leverage, making the steering easier.

Here's a photo of them from before they were powder coated.
