2014 Tri Glide Rear brake lever
I just purchased a 2014 Tri Glide, my First Trike! Ok so far I like the bike but the reason I went to a trike at this point in my life is because I got T boned on a bike about 40 years ago and it did a lot of damage to my leg. All of the bikes I have had since I have had to put an extended brake lever on. The Kuryakyn extended pedal worked fine. Unfortunately I left the pedal on my road glide when I traded it. But I had the original road glide pedal and it seemed longer so I thought I would try it and it WONT FIT ON THE TRI GLIDE SPINDLE! What's up with this? Is the spindle on all Tri Glides wider than on the 2 wheeled models? or is it something new for 2014. I need to get a brake lever that I am comfortable with. Checking the Kuryakyn site they say there extended pedal fits several models including the Tri Glide up thru 2012. If that is true then Harley changed the size of the brake spindle on the 2014 models. Long winded but I don't know how else to explain. Any help would be appreciated.

The 14's might be a mystery to them as yet tho.

I'm glad to see that moco finially fixed the parking brake location. Because it seemed like when I tried to use it it felt like I was going to fall off the trike just trying to apply it. So, I stopped using it & just left the trike in 1st gear. To date, neither of my trikes have tried to roll away while it's in gear, even on our HOG parking lot which is far from level.
