Tri-Glides have had a problem with some of the bodies being mounted crooked since 2009. Up until a few years ago, returning to a knowledgeable Dealership would get it fixed under warranty.

The last couple of years, HD seems to have changed what is considered "in spec" so they do not have to pay out so much in warranty reimbursement to the dealerships for getting the body straight.

I have always seen the body being straightened out by loosening the 6 bolts and shimming the body on the frame.

However, there have been reports in the recent couple of years that there is some other problem that can't be resolved by shimming the body on the frame. BUT...I have never gotten any details on what that is.

Of course, if the frame that the body mounts on is out of square so much that shimming will not get the body straight, that is a much more serious problem...which should be resolved under warranty.
