Tri Glide and Road Glide 3 suspension questions
Is the new suspension on the tri glide as good as it is made out to believe and is it a noticeable difference over the previous trai straight solid rear axle models?

I do not yet have my new '26 CVO Street Glide 3 Limited, but should have it in mid July now. I've ridden both, '25 and '26 models and there is a NIGHT and DAY difference between the two designs. I'm sure someone here will chime in on their riding experiences on the new '26 model trikes.
Surprising how many people have traded in their '25 Tri-Glides for the new '26 SG3L trikes. What a hit they must have taken on their trades...

I haven't ridden one of the new ones, I will when I get a chance but I really don't see anything wrong with my Tri-Glide. I think some of youz guys are just a bunch of cry-sissies LOL. I have a Heritage Classic and my 24 Tri-Glide, and my Tri-Glide rides better than my Heritage Classic does and that doesn't mean the Heritage is a bad ride. Look, the first consideration is how much fun is it, the second consideration is does it really look good, then there are lot's of things to consider, is it reliable, is it priced reasonably, does it suite your style of riding and then somewhere down the line, is it rough over bumps. The only thing my Tri-Glide is questionable on, is it priced reasonably. We could argue that point I suppose but ya can't take it with ya !!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm the same as you I'm keeping a close eye out for comments on the new suspension. Normally if it doesn't work right, you will get all kinds of complaints and I'm not seeing that. Only complaint I've seen is a whining noise coming from the belt area, other than that, no complaints.
I'm also wondering if they have a leaning problem on Sharp curves with the new suspension, so far no complaints from anybody that I've seen. I will keep a close eye out on this Thread and hopefully, we will get some answers to our questions.

DK Custom Products did a comparison on Kevin's 2019 with their NexGen shocks , a bone stock 2025 and a stock 2026. I don't remember all the particulars but basically they were impressed. They probably have a link on their website.
