Default 2014 tri glide for wife’s anniversary.

Hi all and thanks.
Last Friday I took possession of my brother’s tri glide. He can’t ride it, need assistance to get on and off. He wanted to give it a good home, it’s a 2014 blue/black with only 12000 miles. He ask if I was interested and he would sell it to me for 10G. Yes I would be stupid if I pass it up! It’s loaded minus the CB or the saddle bags wife wants. Now I don’t have to hear her fuss about riding my 07 wide glide. Fist thing I did was put a driver backrest, a booster seat seat for her, and a lumbar support pad for me in back. Now I’m snoring like a Harley in the back 🤘. Life is good, and no more complaining about hot riding my stage3 wide glide!

The bike is a 103HO twin cooled, stock. It has Vance and Hines slip on. I plan to put a k&n air filter, cleanable oil filter, and an oil guy oil cooler. Leave it a stage one! I live in south Louisiana, reasonings for extra cooling.
So now for the good and bad!
Trunk do not leak, no problem. Cardo intercom, no problem. Bluetooth streaming radio, good to go. She wants saddle bags, ok.
What else should I be looking at? Crew I’m open for any suggestions. So all you guys been owning trikes for years, give me everything you got. first trike I’ve ever had, first trike I ever rode. Just a dumb Cajun with no experience with trikes. Bike is for 120 pound wife that loves her Kawasaki Z125 pro, probably 115 wet.
Give me both Barrels guys! Thanks all dog

Congrats!
Just RIDE! 👍
As miles accumulate, you’ll find things you want to add to make it more comfortable.

Expect rear suspension upgrades to be near the top of your list. 😉

Nice looking trike, you got a great deal on that for $10000 I just added the Dakota Digital gauges, and the Soundstream V2 radio to mine, love the look and added functionality.
