Default Triglide lift

Got the lift on the wife's bike and went for a ride. Seems to me that the handling is better, and it certainly looks better. It is also going to save wear and tear on the Rinehart tips.

I haven't ridden the tri enough to be a judge of the handling difference, so the final analysis will rest with the wife. Right now it is 22* and I am the only one stupid enough to go out and try it. Wife said she will check it out when it warms up a littl.

Can't say that I blame her. Happy New Year.

I'll bet she'll like it. After the lifts, I lowered the air in the shocks down to the minimum and the ride is way better. And still got the height to not drag the mufflers. Win-Win.
And 22* is a bit below my "I'm gonna' ride" cutoff point.

I love the appearance, handling and ground clearance improvements the TGS lift kit made to my trike and you would have to fight me to get it removed...IT IS THAT NICE. With that said, I cannot understand why HD, in all their infinite wisdom, has not made this change. Cost? Can't be...both parts are too similar. What is it then?

I know that if you ask HD customer service they will say its "working as designed". Go figure, huh.
