trike engine modifications
I converted my 07 street glide to a trike 2 years ago. I installed the screaming eagle stage 2 kit (103 w/ 255 cams) I had problems starting after it got warm. I installed a screaming eagle compensator and I'm very happy with the dependability. I also installed a screaming eagle clutch kit so I don't have any hesitation at all when taking off from start. I also installed Vance & Heinz true dual headers with 4" Rhinehart slip on's. I don't heat up as mush in traffic.

I'm skeptical about those new cylinders. I think they have the spigot to thin, which will lead to cracking or shortened life span and a need for top end rebuild sooner than a traditional cylinder. I think Harley is once again using its customer base as beta testers.

What year is your Triglide and is it still under warranty? The heads and tuner will send the powertrain warranty up in smoke, looks like their trying to sell you a sort of Stage 4 setup. If you would happen to make good bottom end power the VP lockup won't do much for you, they don't start working until 3,000+ rpm.

Talk to lzski and see how his 585's are doing.

May want to challenge yourself and get informed on the tuning devices out there. I prefer the TTS over all others. (excuse me but... --> MY OPINION ONLY)
It's a shame I have to say that every time I post something I like or use.
M3 is correct. HD has changed their warranty habits. Even with SE parts, any change will void warranties. If a Dealer says it's covered then get it in writing as HD will not back up the Dealer any more.

I didn't have much luck with the 585 cams, in my 2009 tri-glide.
They would have been great in a tavern to tavern two wheeler. The would not pull the trike until after 3000 rpm, but as soon as you got to 3000 then you need to hang on, it would run right up to 100mph without even trying. For my style of riding that didn't work. I have the 557 cams in it now and they work great, start pulling in the low 2000s. I still have problems with the tune, I get way to much pinging, they say to much compression for the cams.
