Default 2011 TriGlide

Prices increased by $500, but the reverse is standard. We paid more for ours!

I wonder if they heard the screams and complaints about the engine heat?
I'll bet there are no changes from last year except colors and price!

It is $700 cheaper than a single color 2010 with reverse.

Boom, I won’t take that bet because, unfortunately I think that you are correct.
This is the first TG production year that Harley totally responsible for the entire TG assembly process. I don’t expect to see any significant change until a least the 2013 model year.

They are still air cooled and I would wager a bet they are still hot. Possibly even hotter. I am not overly impressed with the colors. I see they have chrome wheels that you can buy.

That's 1500 bucks for wheels plus cost of removing tires from old rims and balancing on new. I wonder what the total cost would be just for chroming original wheels? Someone here has done that, eh?

That would pay for the oil cooler upgrade and some toward the Parade Fan. I wish I had waited but my luck the CAT will be built into the Heads on an 11 instead of the headpipe. Bet they are a either a hot selling model or maybe just plain hot.

After looking at some of the new pictures under Key Features, it looks like they have changed the trunk latch & lock mechanism. Gone are the pins on each side of the trunk door. It only has 1 latch in the middle of the door.

They changes the gear ratios for the trike, I'm bummed they did it now when they should have done it right from the beginning. That is one of the things I told customer service last year was 6th gear was useless at anything less than 75 mph. Looks like they listened. The flip side is this is also their way of helping perk up an under powered engine, gear it higher and it will feel more powerful. The sad thing is it will still be the same cooker we've all had to deal with, I'm disappointed in the MoCo but not surprised.
