As a cup holder, I've been using the Chubby Cup on the handle bars (it doesn't move) and will be putting it on the '14. I have used the Kruzzer Kaddy, but they tend to start moving around after awhile.

On another note, my salesman said these Boom stereo have Sirius/XM radio in them. I have it activated through my Garmin GPS. Is there something you have to do to get it activated?

Your salesman neglected to tell you that you have to buy an add on device that plugs into the back of the radio to receive satellite radio. I think its about $300.00

You're right I talked to the parts guy, he said the same thing as you. I have the Sirius/XM service through my Garmin and have a seperate XM reciever, just not sure I'll keep it going. Since we have the MP3 player now. I have over 16 gigs of music.

Apply either the front or rear brake firmly w/ the clutch in while starting.

I use them a lot to tie down big stuff with bungie cords. And I wire tie the Battery Tender and heated jacket plugs up off the side panel and makes it easier to reach while sitting.
Or for kids to hold onto when I do charity rides.

I got the same message, but he did call me back and we talked about how he figured out how to make extenders for the left side of the trike.
Try again

Default Tri Glide CB radio

Bought my 2014 tri GLIDE on June 7th, had the cb installed. Thought it was working as I could receive, but never could get anyone to answer me back, but assumed that we just weren't close enough. Just came back from a 3 week trip where I met my buddy in the smokey mtns, he has a 2013 tri glide. He could not receive me at all, while I could always get him. Purchased a swr meter and found my reading was at 3.5 and the power outout was only 1/2 watt or less. Long story short, rode around using hand signals as in the old days, at least for my part. Bike is going to the dealer to have the radio looked at. In my opinion the SWR was too high and blew the finals.
