I am very new to the Tri Glide family and have heard about a lift kit for these bikes. I am wondering if the stock brackets look anything like the ones being advertised and what is the measurement of the stock height as well as the lifted height at the bottom of the trunk? I am just trying to find out if I need to order some new brackets or does my bike already have the lift kit installed.
Thank you for your time Randy.

 

You will prob get better info here.

 

I forget the exact amount, but I believe it is about 1". Lots of info on this if you do a search.

 

The DK Custom Lift kit raises the rear of the Tri Glide 1.5". It also makes for smoother shock travel, lighter steering, better braking and a nicer look. I love it on my 2016 TGU. It takes a dealer about 1.5 hours to install. A person doing it for the first time, probably about 1 hour more?

 

Unless your dealer put them on without you knowing..' Which is very unlikely.., You don't have them...... The lift is 1-1/4 inch. I have them on my 2011 Tri-Glide since 2011....They were originally made just to level the back end, But as people started using them, They started reporting lighter steering input and better handling... Which i can attest to...

 

Well, if we are going to be precise, the DK Custom Lift raises the bike 1.25" at the shocks and 1.6" at the rear of the Tri Glide per DK's literature. The look is really better because it doesn't have that "*** dragging" look that they come stock with. The better braking is accounted for by the increased weight placed on the front tire from the slight change in geometry that allows for some increased front brake effectiveness and significantly lighter steering perception for many of us.

 

GroundRat, You will find equal time given to all the competition on this site. Search this site and you will find a treasure trove of information on lift brackets. Take a little time and go here http://www.tglidestuff.com/About-tGLIDEstuff.html


Good background. One of a few choices you have. Informative and good history on lift brackets.

Thanks for the link.... Bought my lift from Dennis [tGLIDESTUF] Way Back in 2011!

 

I know three local riders that have the lifts on their trikes. They all rave about the improvements, particularly no longer dragging the mufflers going out of a steep driveway.

Hope this helps...
