Just traded in my STOCK '09 Tri-Glide with 50,000 miles and am riding a STOCK Freewheeler. Wife is on her STOCK '11 Tri-Glide. No tuners, lifts, cams, etc. We did put slip-on mufflers to make them a bit louder.

I just spent hours "un=moding" my RK to trade in(or sell) on a TG. My only downside is the Tmax is only good up till 2013 and I don't know if a 2013 will be enough cheaper that I'll want one.
We don't want one like everybody else.

I never have done much to the motor,etc...but I do love my chrome and extra stuff...
I always said the most rare Harley is a stock one.

I won't be doing anything to the engine. I usually do upgrades for my riding comfort and for things to work better. I have only added the windshield pouches and trunk retracter thingy so far. I am looking at a driver backrest and stuff like that.

I had my 11 XXX since May 2011 and I haven't done a thing to the engine. I wear Chaps (got knee high ones for summer) to deal with the heat and ride it like hell. Haven't seen a need to modify it because it runs just fine.

Sorry .... we like our bling. Motor and running gear including exhaust are stock. It freakin runs great!!! .... especially when compared to the 1983 Shovelhead I traded in.
