The module for Sirius radio Is 300.00 at boardtracker HD
the CB module Is 275.00 same place, easy to Install both Items and the trikes are pre wired for this Installation. For the CB you will need a few parts to complete the Installation, Antenna whip, PTT button, and the stud for tour pack for the antenna. Love my 2016 and I already have the Sirius and IMO worth every penny. CB Is next.

Am I still happy. YES

Am I surprised 6th gear is weak?
I have not experienced this, my 16 has more power then my 14 FLHTK, I usually don't hit 6th gear until I'm going at least 80, 5th Is plenty and will get me to 80 with no Issues.

A few mods helped, I had the dealer remove my mufflers, AC from my trade In,and he gave me a stage 1 D/L as part of the deal, sounds and runs sweet.

Yup, Street Cannon's, CAI of one's choice along with a stage 1 download allow the trike to breath and run so much better. Can the trike be left bone stock ? Sure. Will the engine run to its full potential? Nope ........... Ymmv

Pulling the cat prolly leans thing out more so than a stock system. I would spend the money just to have the fuel mixture richened to be on the safe side. It cannot hurt !

OK, I have to chime in. I normally sit back and learn with all the new stuff. We went to Sturgis for first time this year and I had traded in my 13 Ultra for a 16 Tri Glide before we left. I had 48 miles on it when we left to Sturgis and now have 454 miles on it. We both enjoyed the ride much better even in stock configuration but I will say it sits a little low and tends to scrape the pipe a little (our combined weight is about 500 lbs). Then I went an had S&S header and mufflers (4.5") put on with a tune while we were there. Enjoyed the hell out of that, sound and power. We love this thing for the 2 of us, I still have a 04 Road Star when I want to go out alone but I may opt to take trike alone as much as I like it. I have ordered the little lift kit and will be looking into onboard air set up for shocks, any suggestions appreciated.

Congrats on your new ride! Trikes are the New Cool and you see more and more of them on the road,each day. Installing a lift kit will offer a noticeable improvement in ride & steering quality. If you would like to have total fingertip control and adjustability of your rear air shocks,we offer a couple of options to help you do so. Any questions,just call or drop us a line.
