"Gave the trike a check over, air in the tires and shocks and checked the fluids. Leaving in the morning for a three day tip to the Blue Ridge Pkway, staying in Little Switzerland."

Getting back to Little Switzerland is a great road in itself!!! Just did that BRP, Dragons and other stuff a couple of months ago; have fun!!!!!

 

Picked mine up from the dealership today.
All done bit somehow "WE" miscommunicated regarding the installation of the garage door opener.
Not a big deal with so little riding time left now and I have an extra door transmitter in my windshield pouch.

Too many "upgrades" at one time for a simple description but with the new handlebars, the DK Lift Kit and shocks there is a noticeable difference in handling, ride and ground clearance between the mufflers to the ground

I got home in time to install the DK wind deflectors and before I take it out the next time I'll be able to determine where I want my highway pegs.

We're supposed to have a warm up early next week with the possibility of scattered storms but I'm hoping to get a few hours in so I can get a better feeling about the benefits of these new accessories.

I'm slowly getting the trike set-up to be a "mile-eater"!!!

 

I too enjoyed Street Vibrations, but was disappointed.. I found the motorcycle stuff at the dealers and only junk ( and a little clothes ) at Reno/Carson City Venues. Virgina City... oh, yeah... we'll be back next year Great Time was had by all. I am hoping AIS will be better this weekend for toys

 

I installed a set of Rider Footboard Extensions. I have had them on my last 4 Harleys.

 

I took my '18 Tri-Glide out this evening to try-out the DK wind deflectors.

As I mentioned earlier, I installed a Freedom 11", re-curve "touring" windshield and that made a lot of difference in helmet "buffeting" and as I had expected (and hoped) the DK deflectors (at least to me) provide about the same amount of wind deflection as the "fangs" that I have used on several other bikes going back to my '92 Heritage.

For the price and for what they do. I'd definitely recommend them to those who ride in cooler weather.
They may also deflect some rain but I'm not anxious to test that out yet, but I know the day will come when I will!

 

Rode 105 miles

 

1000 mile service, added a luggage rack to the tour pack, added a rear bumper, rode 96 miles.

 

Rode to work in 45* temp....now getting ready to ride home, after a day of testing at the shop. It's dark and getting cold again!

 

Added the Freedom Shields 10" Touring shield , Heated grips . Low 50s and managed to get in 85 miles before the rain set in.

 

Installed a Hayden M6 Primary Chain Tensioner. At an idle it sounded like a box of rocks being shaken, coming from the primary. Everything looked normal when I opened it up but the chain had slack in it. I don't think the ratchet part of the OEM was working.

After installing the Hayden, no more slack but I could compress the springs with moderate pressure.

No more noise at idle and no more worrying about it
