Mine failed also, and lost a part, when it was fairly new ('14). Had it fixed under warranty about 40K miles ago, and it's worked find ever since.

Not sure if it just was not installed right at the factory, or if I've just been lucky ever since.

Been riding the Tri-Glide most everyday for the last month, doing a bunch of new tests. Finally finished our most recent testing.

Parked it a couple of days ago in favor of riding the Sporty for awhile.

Installed the Screamin' Eagle Stage 1 hardware (Street Cannon Mufflers and SE Intake) this evening. Will do the SE Street Tuner Stage 1 update tomorrow. Not much rush, it's rained the last two days and is supposed to rain again tomorrow. I did fire it up to hear the Street Cannons. My initial thought is they have a nice low, not obnoxious rumble.

Bought my TriGlide a garage mate. Now, I can take my time diagnosing and hopefully fixing the wandering issue.

Had Stage I installed with Cobra head pipes, Harley Pro Tuner, air cleaner and Street Cannons. Runs and sounded good on short ride home from dealer. Now if rain would stop in the Northeast!

I removed the fairing lowers and then went for a ride to feel the difference.
Most notable is the oil pressure stayed up around 25 to 30 PSI insteaad of being in the 15 PSI range when I stopped for traffic signals and such.
That tells me the engine is getting more cooling air.
And my legs were much cooler, even with the high heat and humidity here now.

Spent all day Monday helping a friend install V&H Power duals and slip-ons on his 2017 Trike. Neither of us had ever removed and/or changed a complete exhaust, so it was an interesting learning experience. Especially when we discovered he had received a wrong Trike Adapter Kit. We scratched our heads over that one! (Hint: always double check part numbers ordered and received!)
Yesterday, on my 2016, I installed an Outlaw High-flow AC and the Stealth External Breather (from DK, of course. Very pleased with the quality of the parts.). It's the first step on the way to Stage 1. I plan on doing an autotune with the FP3 to account for the increased air flow when it stops raining. I am hoping for better gas mileage and happy to not be reintroducing the dirty and oily air to the cylinders.
