It is definitely cool looking....will lead itself to plenty of modifications and tweaking! I think the back end will suffer, with the fender style. As a touring bike for older, more mature riders, not something they will buy IMHO, and those are mainly the buyers for a trike.

on another note, as I was showing the pics to the boss (wife) she asked how much??? Response was "if it gets any pricier we need to buy a nice Beemer, or Lexus convertible to get the wind in your face. I cant hear the radio, its too hot, and the ride is not comfortable now, so you better just keep the trike you have, and be happy" End of conversation!!

OK, why are you talking to my wife? Lol
Sounds a lot like my house, and that's why we have a 2011 Mustang convertible..which I'm not complaining about one bit...just struck me funny you saying this....


Ride safe

Damn HD did it to me again!! Bought a 2007 SEUC new. What did they do on the 2008, threw the ABS and 6 gal tank on. Since I purchased 2014 TG and now they put the ABS on the 15's. Turkeys!! And what's up with the easy open doors on the fairing. Are they now small storage or just easier access to the radiator fill cap??? hmmm...OH well still love my 14.

I think (behind the scenes) it's really meant to be a solo trike. Ain't nobody from HD going to say that tho.

You are mistaken, there is no change to the braking system from 2014 to 2015 on the TriGlide.

Also not true, this is a two up trike in a more affordable price range. Want more passenger security, simply add a back rest. Have you noticed the passenger foot boards and hand supports? This is simply HD's answer to riders' requests for a more affordable three wheeler.
What some are not grasping is that the MOCO is tuning in to the riders.
That is a damn good thing!

TC, I was reporting on what I read on HD site under the 2015 TG Key Features/Control tab:

"Here are some of the innovations Project RUSHMORE led to: the Reflex™ Linked Brakes with ABS, the Daymaker™ LED headlamps and fog lamps, brighter Tour-Pak® lighting, brighter turn signals, brighter brake lights, and a steering head with stiffer front forks. Locked-up tires are now history even when there’s wet pavement. We’ve made it feel even better to lean your way through a turn. Now you can see better. And we’ve made you more conspicuous to the cage-driving public. Because one thing we all agree on is this: bikes that work better make riders who ride better. Take a ride. See how good you can be."

Marketing babble maybe ???? with a missing disclaimer of not really!
