We did rent a 17 for the Dragons tail last March, we liked it and decided it was the way to go.

Now, I don't think I will go crazy on the trike but I need some help on deciding what to do with the audio system. I am not a fan of hogtunes so let's leave that out as an option. I hope some of you can share what you have done with the speakers and what amp you might recommend.

I will get the lift kit, sounds like a positive to me. I added Rinehart 4" slip-on mufflers, sounds nice.

I'm looking forward to hearing from anyone

Thanks

Bill
Congrats on your new ride!

Wish I could help you with your audio system question. We've always just used the stock...which we don't use that much.

There is an entire section on this forum on audio, and the few times I've been there I've seen a lot of activity and a lot of very strong opinions.

You may find it helpful.

Good thing they have been converted to LED, You might need a higher output Alternator with all those lights :-)

It is nice to be seen, of course you did leave all your reflectors on the bike right! :-)

Default Improved my ride

Installed DK Comfort lift, Wind Deflectors, & Floor Board Extensions a few weekends ago. 50 degrees went for a 70 mile ride through the foot hills to feel the difference. And what a difference, this is a must do if you own a trike. The trike responded to the changes in the road surface with a soft yet positive aggression that eased the harsh wig wag pounding I felt from the stock suspension. Another H-D 2 wheel rider passed me in the twistys, yet I was very comfortable keeping his pace.



Also, I received and installed the helmet locks from Lidlox.





Took 15-20 minutes to install both sides.

Weather holding - ride... ride... ride

Installed a rear bumper. Took longer to find the wheel ramps then it did install the bumper. 5 minutes tops.
