Question between friends - Has anyone here locked up their rear brakes on their trike at a moderate or high speed?? And if so, what did the trike do?? did it want to react like a two wheel Motorcycle?? - My friend on his 09 Tri-Glide said he has Not been able to get his rear to lock up {not that he goes around slamming on the rear brakes}- did lock at low speed in gravel??

So, what are Your thoughts...

 

ok, here we are....this is an experimental photo entry...

...and this is not a tri glide........(DUH)..

.......we are anxiously awaiting for some replies regarding the

...ability to lock up the back brake on a TRI GLIDE...

 

And it only took 74 min, LOL

 

I locked mine up when a deer crossed in front of me. It did not react like a two wheel bike. It mostly tracked straight although there was a slight movement of the rear end to the right

 

...........thanx for that....i have only locked in gravel/dirt....and that was intentional....

 

My rear brakes suck, I really have to hit them hard to make them lock up. If I used just the rear brakes to stop I would coast to a stop. The few times that I did lock them up it did track straight.

 

Hubby can lock up my rear brakes, but I can't. It takes brute force. LOL! But he does it to prove to me it can be done and it always tracks (at least the skid marks he leaves) straight and narrow!

 

Same here. Tracked straight as an arrow. I hit the brakes in a panic stop hard enough to engage the ABS system & it worked perfectly.

 

Locked everything up at around 60mph couple days ago.The TG slid greatly but stayed straight.First time for real lock up and smokin brakes.Blew a stop sign in the bright sun.Luckily intersection was clear.Made me think.

 

Kind of ashamed of this. Pulled out from by favorite breakfast place a couple of weeks ago. Boston blaring in my ears I hit it. Saw two cars pacing each other, so I put the front tire on the dotted line and hit it. Just before I got to the cars it dawned on me I wasn't riding the Dyna anymore and there probably wasn't 4 1/2 feet between the cars. Locked up the rears. There was some sand on the road, so I'm sure that helped break the rears loose. Slid straight as an arrow! Oh, I didn't hit the cars. THAT would have really made my day.
