Thanks Ed, I watched your video because I couldn’t open my trunk on my 2023 Tri Glide. I lubricated the ring around the lock and pushed the lock button in and out several times. Suddenly, the door opened. Because I didn’t know how to adjust the hardware, I left it alone. I appreciate this video. 🎉🎉
Terry glad you got it open. Just keep a watch on how it's working. You may not need to adjust anything, but, if you do take it by your H-D and I'm sure they can help you out. Respectfully, Ed
Thank you for posting this video. I've been riding Harley's for over 25 years and just added a 2020 Tri Glide. The tips you mention and displayed are very much appreciated.
During the winter, I asked the dealer to change my handlebars to 12 inches. I went to pick it up and I only rode about ten kilometers (about 5 miles) and I had a good first impression. I can't wait to do a long ride to really appreciate it. Here in Quebec, the season is just beginning. Thank you for your video.
@@TriGlideEd Hello Ed, I'm coming back to you today following my first ride of the season. I thought of you about your phone support. I have an iPhone and I would like to be able to attach it to my handlebars. Can you tell me if you are satisfied with yours and what brand, model is it? I see it on your videos and it seems solid and effective. Thanks very much
Ed, nice video, very informative. I had to start riding Tri Glides in 2013. I bought a used (300) miles on a 2010. In 2014, I lost the vision in my left eye. Some jerk hit me and totaled my bike. He tried to kill me but he didn’t so I bought a new 2017 . I tell you all this to explain I had put a set of 12” risers on my 2013 for all the same reasons your friend was telling you about. But, I was never as comfortable as I wanted to be, so when I got my 2017 I had the dealer put 14” risers on the bike. What an improvement over the 12”. Every body is different so I would suggest you try your buddies bikes for a short ride, 10-20 miles and then decide if the 12” or maybe the 14” riser is best for you. I did get a lot out of you segment on the trunk latch. I had trouble with it all the time on my 13 and some with my 17, but I have a good mechanic at Old Glory HD in Laurel, MD, who must have seen your video, lol, because he fixed mine and it has work great ever since. Keep up the good videos!
Thanks for watching my video Jerry. I still haven't put any bars on mine..yet. I hope to ride one day this week for sure because it's supposed to be warmer. Between the rain showers at least. You take care and ride safe Jerry. Respectfully, Ed
Like your commentary. Bought a new 2021 Tri Glide. Added Vance & Hines slip ons, chrome luggage rack, hwy pegs, a rear bumper and taller lightly tinted windshield. Would like to ride one with taller bars to see if it’s worth the money to change them. I’m 6’2” 250 and doing fine with the stock bars for now. Had a real bad injury to my left ankle and foot years ago which causes to fall asleep while riding, so for safety I sold the Ultra and went with the Tri Glide for two up riding with the wife and long trips. Have a 2004 Fat Boy for local solo riding that I can still manage to hold up even when my left foot falls asleep. The Ultras are getting too heavy for us senior citizens, especially with a passenger! Safe riding my friend 👍
Ed, you have a lot of great tips there, most of those thinks I have learned by trial and error over the last 4 years, I went with the 10"bars, they seamed to be a better fit for me, the bars that I chose are also 2" wider spread than the stock bars so I feel like I have more leverage on the bars when turning. I also have installed 1" floor board extension for the rider and passenger, just seams to be more comfortable for the wife and I.
I gave up on Harley Davidson. I begged for years for a factory built tri glide with a road glide fairing. They suddenly come out with a road glide 3! That was like being pissed on without the courtesy of calling it rain! So I'm done with Harley Davidson. I sold my 2018 tri glide that I outfitted with a road glide fairing and bought a new Honda Goldwing trike.
My reverse motor went out last month. My HD dealer said that it would be $2000 to replace it. I went to a starter shop and bought new brushes and solinoid for $55.00. Problem solved.
There is video on Iron Heads page that exsplains what happen when you unscrew this pin. It increases the chances of leaks . If seal pushing against it causes it to pop open but you screw the pin out untill it does not pop open. When you pack your trunk with gear and the gear puts presure on door. It will pop open the same way the seal pushed it open.
Thanks for this Ed - good stuff. I'm just starting to look seriously at Tri Glides now that I've had a hip replacement, with more to come (knees, other hip, yada yada). Could you ask Harvey for details on those 12" bars please? Vendor, source, installation and such. Thanks again!
Hey Brian here is the info on Harvey's bars: 12" Fat Baggers, 1-1/4" Part number: 0601-4748". He had them installed at Roanoke Valley Harley Davidson, in Roanoke, Virginia. I hope this helps. Take care, Ed
Great video, Ed. Could you tell me more about the Highway Pegs? Where did you get them? I need some like those which curve back because I have the Rushmore dual-cooled engine but not sure which ones are shaped like that. Keep up the videos !
Good morning blushark79. My good friend Harvey gave these to me, cause he got a different kind, quite a few years back. I do know he purchased them at our local Harley Davidson dealer. Try looking at Harley Davidson website. Thanks for watching my videos I appreciate it. Respectfully, Ed
Another great video - thanks Ed. Last year I bought a '14 Tri-Glide after having to stop riding 2-wheels due to too many back surgeries. Loving the trike though! Hey question- have you done anything that covers your video equipment? I'm thinking about doing some videos as well and just wondered what you use and like, where it's all mounted, etc. Thanks Ed
Thanks for watching Kevin. I have a GoPro Hero 8 Black. With the stock battery cover on they are waterproof according to GoPro. But because I attached a microphone to the GoPro adapter I had to get another battery cover that allows access to the small USB plug. So when I did that it's now not waterproof. The covers come on and off very easily and I care the stock one in my tour pack just incase I run into rain. So far I haven't when recording. Also I have the GoPro attached to the chin area, with a few adapters, so It's more of a front view. I hope this helps Kevin. Take care, Ed
Hello Ed, just thought I would ask how you are doing since your surgery and when will you be back on the road? I have added some things to my 2011 Tri Glide but haven't ridden much because of the heat. And my wife and I have had three deaths in the family in three months and at her mother's funeral, seventeen people got Covid including the two of us. At 71 and having a liver transplant two years ago, it was tough. I hope to get on the road more often. I also thought I would ask you what you think about the mid step for a Tri Glide? It's expensive but I think it's a good thing for us older folks. Take care Ed and I hope you are doing great! Mike Brumbelow, Manchester, Tennessee
Good morning Mike. I'm so sorry to hear of all the loss to your family. It's tough for sure. Take your time getting back out on the road. One step at a time. Speaking of steps I think the mid step would be great. Yeah expensive for sure but I think it would be worth it. Mike, I saw my surgeon this past Friday and I actually rode my Tri-Glide yesterday for the first time in a little over 5 months. I just did a short ride of about 45 miles round trip. It felt REALLY GOOD!! but I do have to be smart with it. I actually used the passenger floor boards to get on my bike yesterday and thought to myself that the mid step sure would be good right now. I did a video of my ride and will post it in a few days. Good talking with you Mike. Take care and most respectfully, Ed
@@TriGlideEd Great to hear you are doing well, Ed. I know it's been a long road for you. I may try to talk my wife into buying the mid step floorboards. I have two issues on the 2011 that I don't like. One is the buffeting that comes up beside the tank and rattles my head. The other is the heat off the engine. I removed the lowers off the trike and the buffeting is a little better. I know on the newer models it can't be done because of the water cooled heads. I have purchased a kit from DKcustoms that raises the tank one inch for better cooling. Also, I purchased the fins that go beside the lowers to reduce buffeting. Haven't installed these items yet, but I will this week. I have found out that a person can spend a fortune on these things. Maybe this will help. I also see folks installing Love Jugs to reduce the heat. Even more money! But, it's HD, hundreds of dollars! Will be looking forward to your new videos. Take care Ed and good to hear from you. Mike Brumbelow, Manchester, Tennessee
Hey Robert I did a video a few years ago and in it I described the "steering" of the Tri Glide. Here is the link ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0ReLMeQlE9s.html I hope this helps. Ride safe, Ed
Good morning. The bars are “Fat Baggers” and he purchased these and had them installed at our local HD dealer, Roanoke Valley Harley Davidson. And yes the are a 2 piece bar. Take care, Ed
Howdy sir, I've had a full lumbar fusion and can't drive trucks anymore but I can seem to ride around on my motorcycle just fine I'm thinking about getting me a trike to pull a little camping trailer with, do you have any experience pulling trailers with your trike and what kind of weight can I pull with it?
Good morning Ed, I still have not been given the okay to ride my Trike since my quadruple bypass. Do you have the name of the company you bought your shifter pegs from? Have a nice day I’m off to church please take your time in getting the address for me. Bob Gonzalez
Hey there LoD! Good to hear from you. I bought the shifter pegs from Amazon. I’ll try to remember to send you the description so you can look it up. I just looked the other day and they are now $19.93 each, but to me well worth the money. Take care, Ed
