Default tri-glide

was reading in one of the event type magazines about the 2009 Touring bikes. the new FLH frame is such that building it as a tri-glide only adds 5 man-hours to the assembly time over a two wheeler. makes sense, no hacking and welding due to the bolt on rear portion of the frame.

I took a factory tour at Lehman's in Spearfish a couple of weeks ago. They finish the Tri-Glides for HD. Does look like they go together pretty quickly. Cool trike if you like trikes. 103ci motor is stock.
