Hi Mike,

Yes, we're looking forward to making lots of great memories on the '19. Thank you!

The Tri Glide is pretty much just used for the big Trips that Mary and I go on. For the 30 mile round trip to the shop and back, I generally only ride the TG when it's really cold.

Other than that I mostly ride the Softail or the Sporty. That keeps the miles down on the TG.

One thing that helped keep the miles down on the '14 TG is that one of the years we owned it we did Not do a big trip, so that shaved 10-13,000 miles off that would have normally been on there.

 

Barbara! Wow! Congratulations!!!! I know you're gonna enjoy it!

 

Kevin thanks for your reply on the tire lifting. Much appreciated. I hope you enjoy your new toy.
Gerald
PS I am hoping to get to Beal street this summer, maybe get a chance to meet up

 

Do you and Mary have any idea where you are planning to go this year ? That trip to Bella Coola was over the top.

 

Congrats on the new trike, Kevin. Looking forward to reading about your testing of new mods that will take place, especially the new triple trees.
Maybe it will motivate me into riding our trike, again.

 

That would be great!



Instead of doing one big 45-55 day trip, we are doing 3 smaller (15-18 day) trips. One will be up in the Sturgis area enjoying all the good scenery and riding.

The other is going to stretch us some. We'll be riding around Nova Scotia, then taking the ferry over to Newfoundland and riding around up there. Do a Google of Twillingate. That is way up there, many bridges, island hopping, to get to that far northeast on the "continent".

Don't have a 3rd planned yet.

Hey Clint! Hate to hear that beautiful trike is just sitting!

 

Putting on some additions as we get another 6-12" of snow. Spring is coming I hope.
.Brought home the new Tri Glide yesterday, stage 2, heated grips, sirius fm, cooler fan and tour pack rack. The dealer said the tour pack relocator from my 2017 CVO Limited wouldn't fit, the wife and I installed in an hour this morning. The also said the lift kit wouldn't work, I will try in a couple of weeks when my broken shoulder is healed. She is a beauty.

 

Excellent color choice!! You're a man of great taste!

 

Beautiful trike and a smile to go with it that is wider than the trike!

 

Went a week without touching the new Tri Glide.

Yesterday and today I got some work done.

-Reinstalled the windshield

-Wired up the electrics for the Gerbing Heated Gear

-Ran the power wire for the Power Point in the Tour-Pak

-Installed the Riders back rest

-Installed the Tour-Pak back on the Trike with a Tour-Pak Relocation that sets the TP back 3 inches

-Installed the Tour-Pak Filler with Run-Brake-Turn LED Lights

-Installed Mary's Custom Back Rest on the Tour-Pak

-Installed Passenger Drink Holder

-Installed TP safety tether

-Installed TP Power Point

-Installed Custom Front Fender Skirt

I checked the tire pressures. Front was fine at 36 psi. Rears were both at 30 psi. What's up with that? Guess it takes too much brain power to set the psi at the OEM settings of 26. I took the rear down to 22 psi, which is a much better setting for them.

Checked the rear shocks...they were set at zero turns. I moved them to 5 turns, which is what the manual calls for for my weight and typical luggage I carry. I'll be doing quite a bit of experimenting with the settings in the future when we do our suspension testing.

Got it outside (it was cloudy) for the first time since doing the ceramic coating.

Got some photo's of the above I'll be posting up, then some videos once we get them edited.
