Well, just to let you know about my experience. It was kinda a rough ride around town with all the pot holes. On the highway it was great. But since I ride in town alot it was irritating. So I ended up installing a set of DK Custom Nex gen 13” Triglide shocks for the rear. $1000. But the ride is 100 time better. The difference between night and day. I was seriously considering selling the bike. But after I installed the shocks, it is so nice now. I just thought I would throw that in at you.

Well, I hope you enjoy your new Triglide. I put so much accessories on mine now, that I could have Bought a brand-new offbrand motorcycle. Yes I get over to Montana (western). Used to go there a lot to Butte Great Falls Libby whitefish Eureka. Now I just settle for Thompson Falls pass.

Wow, coming from a guy with your background that says a lot. But I’m just an amateur guy trying to help people make choices/decisions. I bought this Triglide after riding motorcycles for over 50 years. I should have done it 10 years ago it is so much fun.

@@windsurfed1 I appreciate the time invested, I consider it a blessing thank you. I hope to see you down the road

Glad you could use some of the information on the video. You will thoroughly enjoy your three wheeler. The only problem is you end up putting too much accessories on and it cost lots and lots of money.

You should enjoy it thoroughly. Glad you watched the video and could use some of the information. Although I have dumped a lot of money into those accessories, they made the ride on the motorcycle so much more enjoyable. I am pretty sure that had a not got some of the accessories. I would not be enjoying it as much as I am. I almost considered selling the motorcycle, but after the accessories, I am now happy. Especially with the new shocks I got on.

Thanks for the comment I grew a beard about October and just shaved it off again here in February first time in over 30 years I had a beard. I am 69 years old and I bought this TG three years ago. Best thing I ever did. I was beginning to have a little balance problems. Now I should be able to ride into the future many years. Depending On how long I live. But hopefully I can enjoy this Motorcycle many more years.

Good idea. I use a few of those around my house.

@@windsurfed1 A little FYI. I run a Harley repair shop on a part time bases. I'm a retired Manufacturing and Quality Engineer, mostly engine plants like Waukesha Engines, Harley Davidson and Briggs and Stratton,. I started doing this just because I like doing it and to keep me busy. I have a close contact with several Harley master techs too. These days I offer much free advice as money is not a priority anymore.

@@Greenjeans2020 yes, I hear what you’re saying. When money doesn’t much matter anymore. Sounds like your knowledge could be very valuable to the right people. I retired about six years ago. Bought this trike about a year and three months ago. Should have done it 10 years ago. Running the Harley repair shop on a part-time basis is pretty cool.

I thought that 305 dream was a big touring bike. White is a beautiful one. It’s amazing how we have progressed.

Thanks for the compliment. I have been using it for quite some time now and I really really like it.

No guessing about it I have just about run out of things to video. The only thing left is the HD cool flow fan which there isn’t much video to be shown there. No I don’t think they’ll be much more videos coming from me on the Triglide.

Let's brain storm for a second...step outside the "stock" mindset..like someone else suggested, change out the lights to Custom Dynamics; experiment with different exhausts; try various adjustable levers; OR..buy a new Freewheeler and start over! You just can't abandon those of us who enjoy your videos!

@@r.j.devaney780 That’s just it! I like a stock engine on a motorcycle. Every motorcycle I have ever had I left the engine alone and just left it completely stock. So, I don’t see myself doing any engine modifications, leaving off the possibility of doing videos in that area. Also there is a huge cost doing engine work. I do have a one other idea, outside the motorcycle world. But I will have to contemplate on that for a while as to whether I really want to pursue it. It would be a whole new can of worms.

@@windsurfed1 Drones??🤔

@@r.j.devaney780 that was high on my list for a while did a lot of research and found the one I wanted but then I tried to figure out the best places to use one and what I would use one for and it made no sense to me after that so I dropped the idea. I thought about making destination videos. Then that drone would come in handy.

Glad you watched. Hopefully you can use some of that information.

Yes, they are very nice. However, I figured I have about $12,000 in accessories. Do you know what I could’ve bought for $12,000? Probably a new Asian motorcycle. Or maybe even a Harley sportster.

Yes John, they have some pretty nice paint schemes. This particular one is River rock gray and I do like it

Yes, it is pretty convenient when you are riding. But it sure broke my bank account

Impressive yes! But it cost me an arm and a leg, I had to hock my house, and sell my children into slavery to get all that.

Be careful, because you can go overboard on accessories like I did.

Glad I could help you out. You’ll enjoy riding your Triglide it’s a whole New World of stabilization.

I have added (5) upgrades to mine. I'll only upgrade if I feel it's a comfort to me, or my wife. I'll never upgrade for show.

@@stevegonzales3612 Thanks for your reply Steve. All my upgrades that I have, I use constantly. I will never get my money back on any of these upgrades. However it sure makes traveling so much more comfortable and easy. I am thinking that there’s nothing left to put on there. I thought about all those things I would like to have and I added them and I’m glad I did.

@@stevegonzales3612 Thanks for the reply Steve. As I rode my motorcycle I saw things that I would love like to have that would help me in my travelings. And make things a little more easier for my old age. Don’t think there’s anything else that I would need or want to put on. All the things I have on there are very in line with the way I like to ride. However I love a stock engine and that’s where is going to stay have no plans to do any upgrades to the exhaust engine or suspension.

@@windsurfed1 👊respect 👊...in-fact I am leaving tomorrow morning for a weekend ride up to Zion National Park, from Phoenix. 6 hr ride...that's where all my added amenities come into play - COMFORT. Though we normally ride 4 hrs before stopping for the night...it's a quick trip so we'll due the 6 hrs up. Temps will make it a pleasant ride. I have the 2019 tri-glide with 10k miles currently.

Yes, I had one. Fact is, That was my first motorcyle. A 1969 Honda 90.

Cool flow fan works great. It really does take the hot air away from your leg and your passenger leg. I would definitely have one for the Triglide. Congratulations on your new purchase of your Triglide. Took me about 1300 miles to get used to a trike. I should have done it 10 years ago. As you saw in the video I also put Jim‘s force flow fan on and that really helps keep the engine cool on the hot days and provided more relief from heat on the leg. I don’t even think about heat on the leg anymore. Without those two items it was really an issue.

The Clock is a Formotion clock made for motorcycles. Just do a google search "Formotion Clocks" and you will see them. The Lower fairing pockets on got on ebay. Search "lower fairing pockets" and they should show up.

Good idea. I also do the same with mine.

Glad you found it useful. The stuff I have on there is very useful and I like it.

Glad the video could help. Snow here and cold waiting for season to open up.

Yes I really like the digital gauges and the handlebars The ram mount arm extension is a RAM-B-200-12U. It is a 1 inch composite double socket swivel arm. Cost somewhere between $11-$16. The handle bar U-bolt base for rails .5 to 1.25 inch diameter either black Ram-B-231ZU Or chrome RAM-B-231U about 17-20 dollars

I bought a pack of bungee cords and used The smallest bungee cord cut one and a half stewed it on the door, and use the other end screwed to the luggage rack underneath

It’s not my idea. I stole it from a fellow triker off of triketalk.com.

In other words it’s homemade

Glad you got to this channel. Sounds like you have done alot of riding in your life Life. Very well experienced. I have never been to Sturgis. Seen it on the cameras live the last couple three years. To be honest with you. I don’t have a desire to go there but it is sure interesting watching the bikes on the live cameras while Sturgis is taking place. You certainly have put on a lot of miles on your motorcycles.

​@windsurfed1 I did ride a lot in my younger days. I'm slowing down as I reach my 70's. Now I still ride a lot but no where's as far as before. This summers trip was just shy of 17,000 miles. I had an outstanding time and will be headed down in Late June next summer again. I always end up with Sturgis. Tgen it's home to ho moose hunting! Need winter meat.

It’s been awhile since I’ve thought about it. There was for me conflicting static noise if I remember correctly, between the intercom and other Sena riders. I also had trouble with the Bluetooth phone connections. I don’t recall exactly what discouraged me but it was mild enough to convince me to go a different route. Or, maybe it was just me not being able to put it all together to make it work right. I spent quite a bit of time trying to perfect it. It seems there are other riders out there that have the Sena freewire that are perfectly happy. So that makes me think that maybe it was all my fault. I am pretty tech savvy but I still couldn’t figure it out.

@@windsurfed1 Thank you Sir. I enjoy your videos and info you provide.

No, I have never thought about a heated seat. Or heated handgrips. That is some very low miles on that bike you bought. The gauges are nice. I like the digital and the colors. But they are a lot of money. I think they cost around $900 just for the gauges then you have to have them installed unless you do it yourself. We used to ride a lot in cold weather and we just had very nice heated jacket and gloves, and that met all of our needs.

Thanks for the comment. I got the gas cap magneted from I believe it was Amazon. It’s called: HARLEY DAVIDSON GAS KAP KEEPER FROM RICKRAK.COM PERFECT GIFT IDEA FOR... $14.95

Thanks. Hope you could use some of that information.

I just went to a local wrap shop and I told them exactly what I wanted and they put it on it wraps slightly around the corners but not all the way. And from the bottom about a third of the way up the fender. You can buy a kit from Harley Davidson that does the fenders and a couple more areas if you would like.

Thanks for the reply. I am too detailed about everything. It has to be done, right. I guess I have the attitude of nobody cares about me. I am 67 years old. I don’t know how much more I will be riding. The Triglides ride relatively rough because the shocks are not very good. I ended up getting new shocks this year and it made a world of difference in comfort. I normally just ride around town now here in Spokane. In the past I have just rode around Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and western Montana. That’s all the further I’ve been, but it was a lot of fun the past few years. I briefly have been in Canada a few times during my travels. Life seems to be winding down for me now a lot of lless enjoyable things in life. I enjoy making videos. I also enjoy motorcycle riding.

It is a 2020 Triglide Harley Davidson. Glad you could get some information out of it. I try to keep it simple but sometimes I go a little too far.

I got the lower fairing pockets off of Amazon. They are about $73 and I’ve had them in mass of rain and I did not notice any water getting in them. Kuryakyn 5208 Lower Fairing Panel Door Pockets

Yes I get it! That was the first impression of a big touring motorcycle for me was that 305 dream.

Aw, good observation, and good question. The tank rises up and meets the very tip (1 1/2 inches) of the seat. It rubs pretty good against the tank. I put some thin self adhesive felt down on the tank where the tank meets the seat. I am very pleased with that application. I did that so it would not wear my paint off. The seat goes on and off normally. No issues whatsoever. The very tip of the seat falls short of the center console.

You can buy the kit from Harley Davidson and do it yourself or have them put it on. I actually went to a automobile outfit that actually wraps cars and just had them put a clear wrap on mine.

By the way, congratulations on your new Triglide. You’ll really like it the name of the outfit that I had to my tri glide was called. “wrapko signs and wraps” here in Spokane Washington

Sorry I did not see this until just now. I usually get notifications every day. No I do not know where you can get flags as I do not fly any flags from my Triglide. I never really thought about it before. Maybe I should. Sorry I couldn’t help you.

@@windsurfed1 But you did🙂. Like I said I loved your video...I mentioned it to my husband who just bought tri and does not know anything about bikes. He's too pig headed to take the course🙏🏾🙏🏾

@@hollywood191 Wow that’s quite a step to buy a brand new trike. He will get used to it if he just takes it slow and easy. He will really like it. And maybe if he gets it set up good enough you’ll be on the back. Yes it’s probably a good idea to take the course. My wife took the regular motorcycle course when she first started riding and she loved it and she said it helped her tremendously.

@@windsurfed1 LOL I don't ride on the back I've been riding since 2011. I suggested he get a bike and take the course. But he opted for a trike due to feet and neck issues.

@@hollywood191 I hear you. My wife just gave up riding her own motorcycle 2 years ago because her eyesight was getting bad. We sold both our two wheelers and bought the Tri Glide. She don’t mind riding on the back. It’s very comfortable especially over long distances and she don’t have to pay attention anymore she says.

They may look nice, but they’re not all that clean. I just took both of them into the local tire store and had them put in steel valve stems. When I got them back, I worked on cleaning them with simple green. Soak them a few times both side scrub them, and they do look nice now. I’ve had motorcycles before where the rims were fantastic for years, but it seems within a year my Harley Davidson rims on the back we’re starting to pit and get stains on them and I could not get them out. So the best I’ve been doing is using mothers, aluminum mag polish sometimes on them, then waxing them.

Ok now looking at my video more closely it looks like I sniped 3 wires for the thermostate. At this point and can't recall exacty how we did it. But I remember how simple of a fix it was. I am thinking anybody that knows anything about wiring most likely would be able to figure it out when they look at the situation. I just was't sure at the time and call my next door neighbor. Sorry I couldn't help anymore.

Yes, I have added so much accessories it’s ridiculous. But that’s what I wanted. The amount of money I spent on these accessories I could’ve bought a brand spanking new foreign motorcycle. Isn’t that amazing. But I do like all the accessories.

I had the shop install them. At the time I did not want to mess things up if I did it myself. But now, knowing what I know, I probably would have done it myself.

HD Part number 50500167. Got them at the Harley Davidson dealer.

@@windsurfed1 Thank you very much!

No i have not added any suspension parts. I'm living with the OEM suspension. As the driver I'm happy with the OEM suspension. When the wife rides on the back she say it's alright but not perfect. I would someday Like to make the ride better for her but I'm waiting for that someone to say."it's a miracle" to the suspension they added. All I'm hearing is "it improved it good".

@@windsurfed1 I'd like to get something like this but I'd like to get the trike suspension kit for a indian I have my eyes on. what is the towing capacity for one of these? I can't find much information on it as I'd like to buy one of those small little single person sleeper trailers you can put behind a motorcycle

@@rohncarver3585 I have seen those little trailers being towed behind Triglide before. But I do not know anything about them. And I do not know the towing capacity of the Triglide’s. But I have talked to a couple of people that do tow these trailers and they seem to really like them. You might go to triketalk.com and scroll down to the Triglide section and ask anybody if they know anything about towing a trailer with them.

I’ve seen some on other brand of motorcycles that could be converted into 3wheelers. But I agree with you Harley Davidson needs to come out with independent rear suspension for the triglides.

Got the lower panel door pocket off of Amazon. I think I paid about $65. Now they are 83. Kuryakyn 5208 Lower Fairing Panel Door Pockets with Magnetic Closures for 2014-19 Harley-Davidson Motorcycles, Black, 1 Pair a.co/d/1If9GMe

It has a lot of accessories on it. So much extra cash! I could have bought a brand new offbrand Motorcycle.

I use the gopro 9 with a gopro media mod attached. ($99) I plug in the TRS microphone into media mod. I use a full face helmet. I have the microphone on the full face helmet strung along my boom mic which belongs to my sena motorcycle communicator, and route it to the gopro on the chin mount. You just have to be creative on routing the microphone wires. The sena boom microphone is right in front of my mouth and the Gopro microphone it right next to it Taped on to the boom.

Thank you sir.

To tell you the truth, I have never messed around with the traction control apparatus. So to answer your question, I don’t know. Now you got me thinking about it.

I just went through my manual and I cannot find what you were trying to explain to me. Mine just has all off traction control button. Maybe the 21 models are different. If I find anything different I will let you know.

@@windsurfed1 I’m beginning to believe that the tri glides don’t have a need for the rain mode like a 2 wheeler would but I haven’t found the answer yet.

The RDRS, which comes standard on the trikes, can be bought and added to other touring models that don’t have it. However, the regular trikes come standard with the RDRS but minus the TPMS or the hold the bike on a hill feature, or the traction control rain mode. The CVO trike models come with all that. Not for sure if the CVO trike has the hold on the hill feature. Still looking into it all till I can get all the facts.

@@windsurfed1 Thanks for taking the time to find that information. I’m really enjoying my trike. Not having those items do not take any fun away.

Good morning Mr. Mike The purpose of raising the tank is to get more air to circulate and blow on top of the cylinder heads help cool them down better. As you may find out Harley Davidson‘s engines run a little hot. The chairs I got off Amazon for around $55 in the year 2015. They are called”Travelchair Steel Joey Chair,” they are not available on Amazon anymore. But you can find similar chairs, but the price has now skyrocketed. Congratulations on the purchase of your new trike. You will customize it to meet your needs, as I did. Again I am excited for you as you start riding your new trike.

@@windsurfed1 Hi Thx for the reply boy does it get hot wow. lol For your tank spacers one video you have DK rear spacers and one you have the homemade rear spacer what one did you end up using?

@@mikeC-hr4ry the first tank lift kit (one & a half inch deluxe lift kit) I purchased from DK Custom. It came with the one and one half inch front risers and one half inch spacers for the rear of the tank. The quality of their product was top notch. Being the meticulous person that I am, I noticed the gas gauge was not reading the same as it was before I installed the lift kit. I wanted the lift kit but I also wanted in my gas gauge to read as it did when I first bought the motorcycle. So, I purchased a second lift kit from DK custom. This one was a 1 inch kit. It just came with the two front tank riser. I went to the local hardware store and bought 2 spacers to lift the rear of the tank up 1 inch. That leveled my tank back to the OEM level position and my gas gauge reading returned to normal. I also bought their cooling wing deflectors. Which function well and look good.

@@windsurfed1 Ok thx and yes for sure I would to wonder why they did it that way. thx buddy.

Hopefully, I am done with anything else.

Good observation. I went ahead and got the wall organizer. And yes it will still fit two full face helmets. But you better not have anything else loose on the floor under the helmet because the lid will not close properly. It is a tight fit. But with one helmet no problem. When both helmets are in you can squeeze little odds and ends between the helmets and into the corners if need be.

@@windsurfed1 awesome thanks 👍🏼😊 did you just tape them in or did you screw them in (holes lined up with luggage rack) to make it more sturdy?

You can get the handlebars just about anywhere they are khrome works 2+2 handlebars. The passenger armrest are from Harley Davidson. You can call down to the dealer and tell them what you want and they will order them or give you the part number. Also, the organizer that goes on the drivers back rest, the pouches that are for the passenger is Harley Davidson brand. Also, you can get them at the dealer also.

@@windsurfed1 thank you

Joey chair steel: model 7789S. I think they’re made from a company called Travelchair. As for listing the items on the description page, probably should have done that. Makes it easier for people to see where and how much things cost. Let me know how you like those legend shocks.

You can get them on Amazon or eBay

Thanks James. Cost a small fortune. But I plan on having the bike a long time

I have a 2017. Put Love Jugs minis, the air deflectors & lift kit on mine. Helps a lot. That motor runs extremely hot stock.

@@jamesmandra8695 I heard about some engines running hot. Mostly modified engines, never a stock. I’m surprised.

@@windsurfed1 surprised? When you had to put a heat deflector on your Right calf, I felt that heat too. The M8s on a Trike run hot. The rear fenders, tight clearance of tank/ restrict airflow. It is almost necessary to add cooling accessories like you and I did, in order to have a enjoyable Summer ride. HD should’ve considered that in the design of that fine machine. But it gets you to purchase the add ons.

@@jamesmandra8695 You are correct. I almost forgot about that heat shield. Since I put Jim's Force Flow Fan on and HD cooling fan. I have not even notice any heat on my leg. It seems much more natural now. Even when I did my, 'Jim's Force Flow Fan, Does it really work', video in 105 degree weather I was not bothered by any heat on my calfs.

That is just a GoPro brand bicycle handlebar mount. $29.95.

A lot of places sell them, but I went directly to the dealer at : Trikemidstep.com. Also, a good place is Dkcustom.com.

Also, congratulations on your new Triglide. You will enjoy it. The midstep makes it much more enjoyable.

@@windsurfed1 Thanks very much! I really appreciate your help. And your videos

No I have not. I am aware of the whole situation. If I remember correctly there was a certain Vin number that it affected and mine was not there.

@@windsurfed1 Do you remember the year that was affected by brakes? I was in West Va last year in the rain. Started down the mountain and no brakes! I tried "tapping" them to dry them out but didn't work. The dealer told me it was because they were wet - but the other 2 trikes in the group (Honda Goldwing and 2014 Harley) had no issues. Scared the bejeepers out of me!

No, I have not, I believe my Vin number indicated I was not subject to the recall. Even then I have had no issues.

@@kathrynboccia8357 call your local dealer and talk with them or another dealer and talk to them. Give them your Vin number and they should tell you if your bike is affected. That’s not good what you just told me about your brakes not working. That’s basically unbelievable. Get that fixed right away.

I bought it new in 2020 and the suspension was OK but the more I rode it the more horrible it got. To the point where I almost sold it. Then I order a pair of DK custom 13 inch next GEN shocks. I installed them and it was a world of difference between night and day now I am going to keep my motorcycle.I made a video of installing the shocks. And then I made another video of test riding the shocks out. Well worth the money. But they are a little expensive at $1000. I know other people have put different types of shocks on the rear and it makes a world of difference.

I loosened one (I believe there are four mounting bolts and nuts)of the top tour pack nuts. Way up underneath in the trunk area. Then Wrapped the spring around the bolt. And re-tightened the nut.

@@windsurfed1 thank you

@@susanmathews488 It still works good today and gives me peace of mind even though my trunk door has never fallen open again. I lubed the push button on the outside and it is so easy and I have never had a problem with the trunk door since

Thanks for the tip, I will check it out.

I do not have the exact model number of the Khrome Werks 2+2 handlebars that I bought for the tri glide. But I did buy them off of Amazon, believe it or not!

Thank you! Also keep these videos coming! My wife and I are going to Laconia this year so I’ve taken a number of your ideas and put the on my bike but you should think about the Legends front and rear shocks well wort the money and get the lift kit for the rears hocks!

@@Trooper738 I am not sure if I want to beef up the suspension of my Triglide at this point. I am pretty satisfied with the ride and performance. But I have heard so many people talk about what a difference the legend suspension makes

You must have a pretty special grandson because those things are not cheap. I have a lot of accessories on that thing. They are fun to ride though.

Well, that’s a bummer. I heard legends was good shocks. The DK custom next General shocks that I installed on my motorcycle was a world of different,. Night and day. I almost sold my motorcycle because of the rough ride. Finally I pulled the trigger for $1000 and bought the DK custom next Gen shocks. I don’t even even think about selling the motorcycle now. Made a world of difference.

bsxgear.com. You can also get them on Amazon or eBay. They are called back aluminized back pads. I had to cut the straps in the back and re-sew some bigger ones on to fit around my leg.

My advice and 2 cents? Put a cooling fan on your ride. Either love jugs or the brand that windsurfed1 has. I have love jug minis (black) on my 2017. Ez to install & get improvement. Also the tank lift from DK customs

Is it the Sykik brand system? Battery could be dead in the sensors or sensor. (not likely, but I would check the batteries) Do you get any reading at all? Did you install everything and then take the bike for a ride because It needs to roll a little bit down the road before everything begins to work properly. Is the main unit charged up? If the main unit is charging, you’re not getting a reading, most likely the batteries in the TPMS valve cap sensors are dead. Which is unlikely because each brand new. Anyway, check all batteries make sure they are working and if they are then you probably have a bad head unit. .

@@windsurfed1 yes followed all instructions but I didn’t ride it yet. I’ll try that and see what happens. Main unit is charged up. Thanks !

It is called River rock gray. It has black painted accents in certain spots and the rest of the color is called river rock gray. Had to pay an extra $1300 to get a two-tone paint scheme. The all black motorcycle was $1300 cheaper

That’s great you got the mechanical reverse and the rekluse clutch. I think you will really enjoy the rekluse clutch. As for the midstep floorboards; I got my new(OEM) floorboards/foot rest off of eBay for $83. They are just standard OEM issue Harley Davidson passanger/footboards. You can get them at the Harley dealer but you will probably pay around $150. Just guessing

@@windsurfed1 Good for you. I enjoy someone that is as particular and articulate as I am. If I understand you correctly, any Harley foot rest will attach, correct? Does your flip ip and out of the way? Did you have to make any modifications to install the pedal (footrest?

@@buddylafemina4936 So far as I was to understand, any Harley footboards would fit. and yes they do flip up and out of the way. I do have a midstep install video out on KZfaq if you haven't seen it already.

@@windsurfed1 I saw it last night. Bought the DK customs Mid-Step and found footboards on EBay for$126.00. You do an incredible job with you videos. Thanks so much. I’ll be 78 in a few months. These improvements will take me safely into my 80’s. Thank you very much,

Yes I have understood all that you are saying about the remote Tpms sensors mounted on rubber valve stems. I did a video on the Sykik TPMS Monitoring system. I gave my thoughts in the end of the video, about that entire subject regarding rubber tire valve stem versus steel mounted valve stems. Take a look at it and give me your thoughts compared to what my thoughts entail. I am the probably the most safety conscious person on the planet. It is just food for thought about what I think, doesn’t mean it’s correct from your point of view.

Holy crap!!! Wow awesome info man. I really appreciate that! How much does it cost to install the metal stems?

Thanks

Got them off Amazon I think I paid around $70 for them. Kuryakyn 5208 Lower Fairing Panel Door Pockets with Magnetic Closures.

@@windsurfed1 Thanks! Those are the ones I was looking at too!

No plans for any kind of lights at this time. I would not mind some day putting some undercarriage show lights on such as blue in color so they show up at night.

I am a leave it alone stock type of thinking person. No plans for any engine modifications or custom exhaust pipes. I am not against any of that, I just like stock.

Amazon; Kuryakyn 5208 Lower Fairing Panel Door Pockets with Magnetic Closures for Harley-Davidson Motorcycles, Black, 1 Pair, L/XL. Right now they’re $85 but I think I’ve seen them cheaper with other brands but they’re the same.

I hear you! I've seen many people do that and the heat is tremendously Reduced. You want more power, and reduce heat, the things you are suggesting is the way to go.

Thanks for the comment. I’ll probably have it till I die. Then some soul that doesn’t know what he’s buying will buy it, and will not know what he’s getting.

Yes glad you could get something out of the video as bikes get hot. Almost all the HD Touring HD’s get that way but I think the trike’s are the worst.

@@windsurfed1 I might buy a used Vespa 300 scooter 🛵 and ride it for knocking around my nearby mountain roads and various errands and such. On serious hot days I want air conditioning

@@garbinator09 I hear you Gary, a Vespa would be nice for doing what you want to do.

I could have probably lived with the stock rear suspension but my wife couldn’t. She felt every bump and pothole and it was miserable for her. After 2 years I purchased DK custom next gen 13in Tri glide shocks. Difference between night and day. A wonderful ride ($1000) I Have a couple videos out on installing and another on the test ride. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fddzqs-JvpbMmIE.htmlsi=4sCOHUzwHF98N_Cd

@@windsurfed1 Thanks

Yes, I hear you. It could probably use all that stuff. One time I backed up to the curb and just barely scraped my pipes. I learned a big lesson, never to back up to occur again

Most likely yes check the dealership for the part number for your year of Triglide ultra

I paid the dealership install them, cost me about, I am thinking $300. The Gauges cost about 900+. I did another video specifically on the Dakota digital gauges 8414. I go into detail but probably some of it is boring

@@windsurfed1 thanks

If your a you tuber, Bob and Tams Excellent Adventures has a video on Dakota Digital gages. It is really a good video. Good luck.

Got them off of Amazon for $79. You can get them other places also, they are. Kuryakyn 5208 Lower Fairing Panel Door Pockets with Magnetic Closures

Yes, I certainly have, I have around $12,000 in accessories. Ridiculous! I could’ve bought a brand spanking new European motorcycle for that cost. Never will get my money back out of it. One good thought though, should have this bike till I die, and will be able to ride it comfortably with all the accessories. How long that will be is anybody’s guess

I actually did. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gK-FaciHyLLVmZ8.html

If your looking for an easier clutch pull, I put Imberti Cam adjusted clutch lever on mine. Wonderful Difference maker. Especially with arthritis.

That is a good story about your mom and dad meeting on the motorcycle. You saw the video and you started getting back into Motorcycling. Motorcycling can be addicting and fun. As for teaching you motorcycle riding skills and correct equipment. I do not have the skills to teach anybody anything. I cannot walk and chew bubble gum at the same time at my age. As I am getting old and decrepit. I am fortunate just to get on the seat of the motorcycle. I may have a couple more years of riding. There are so many motorcycle riding safety courses you can apply to and get skills way better than anybody like myself can teach you. I highly recommend taking a motorcycle riding safety course. They can also show you and recommend the correct riding gear. As these people are experts in their field of motorcycle riding and equipment. I hope you do get a good motorcycle in the future and enjoy riding , as everyone else does that has a motorcycle.

Thanks. I will show this comment to my Dad. I know you are getting old but no mater how old you get you are still young at heart for riding a motorcycle.

I believe only the cvo Triglides come with TPMS system. Unless you have a CVO model , Triglide, you will not get TPMS monitoring system unless they added it to the newer models that I’m not aware of. Mine is a 2020 model and I put the aftermarket TPMS on it. I like being able to monitor rate from my handlebars. On the factory TPMS system you have to scroll through the menu to find it to look at it.

@@windsurfed1 ok that makes sense then. Mine is a 22. It’s there when you cycle through the menus.

@@patriotwoodworker6092 is yours, the CVO model. Mine is not the CVO model? I can scroll through and still get to the TPMS and it will give you a reading, but it is fixed reading because it is not in operation because there is no sensors in the tires. Only the CVO models came with sensors in the tires to feed the TPMS monitor. Again mine is a 2020 so maybe they did come out in 2021 or 2022 with the sensors in the tires I will look into it.

I think I got them at the local ace hardware store. Just took my bolt in and my tape measure and found the one that worked.

I’m afraid I have to rather agree with you on the quality of the Harley Davidson parts. They are designed specifically to fit your Harley-Davidson, and fit they do perfect every time.

I have $12,000 in accessories. I could’ve bought a brand new Asian motorcycle or a brand new Harley Davidson sportster. But no I had to buy accessories to make me more comfortable.

I have thought about that. I don’t really know how to do it and I think it would be a little more difficult. Not sure though I’ve seen others who do that and that is great.

I live are over in North Spokane. I get over there to Seattle area once in a while to Maple Valley. After I bought the bike I kept seeing things that would be nice to have on it so I started buying. Before I knew it I had about $8000 in accessories&labor. . Wow! Couldn’t believe that. I could buy a new bike.

It seems like you are very happy with the trike so I guess it is money 💰 well spent. Best of luck to you. Black Bike Mike

@@mrcappetto Thanks Mike, yes pretty happy with it so far hopefully it’ll be for the long run also

Thanks, Lots of accessories.
