Been a member here and on several other Harley boards for a lot of years. Most other boards people are sharing pictures of trips, handy hints, and just generally enjoying the motorcycle experience. Seems here someone runs out, buys a tri and logs on and complains, never looks to see that the topic has been covered a thousand times. Guess I'm just old and cranky.
Everyone shares all the same experiences here also, but many times gets "mis-catigorized" and locked to stop further discussion, because there is a proper place for that thread.
If anyone has a concern with their new/used TriGlide I do hope they air that concern right here, anytime !
If anyone enjoys their ride, or wants to share their last/upcoming trek, I do hope they do that also !
There is also a thread about DIY mods on your scoot that fits in real nice where it is at, so why try and have this a mirror of all the rest of the boards here under TriGlides? I personally think everyone does quite good here ! Your input is valued also!
BUT CRAP !! GET A COUPLE HOURS SLEEP ! MAYBE A COLD BREW, BUT RELAX !!

Just installed the lift kit with the help from Icebite1 and I'm very satisfied with results. Steering is easier and no more drag of the pipes. I find I still need to add 40psi to the shocks with a passenger to prevent what feels like bottom out of shocks. Lowered tire pressure from 34psi to 26psi. Ride is quite comfortable. I recommend the kit to anyone that rides the trike. Well worth the money!!

I am the OP on this thread, and after buying but never installing the Lift Kit, I decided I like the “54 Buick Roadmaster” drooping rear look of my tri-glide. So, I am selling my never installed 1.25” rear shock lift kit. These are the brackets sold by Dennis at “Tri Glide Stuff”. http://www.tglidestuff.com/RearShockBrackets.html They have all the original packaging, hardware, and instructions. I only opened the box and never installed these brackets.
Dennis sells these, and I bought them, for $170 including shipping. I’ll sell mine for $125 and I’ll pay the shipping.
PM me if you are interested.

It shouldn't, but a whole lot depends on if the dealer catches it. If they do and if they want to be a PIA about it there is a possibility they could deny a claim and drop a dime on you to the MoCo who will permanently flag your warranty on the suspension.

I have just had the DK lift kit fitted to my '14 Trike and it has made a lot difference to the steering which is a lot easier. The trike looks better with the level look and the muffler end caps don' scrape any more.
Anyone who is thinking about getting one won't be disappointed as it is excellent and improves the ride and the handling

May you have many miles of smiles on your '14 TG.
