Harley-Davidson trikes are gaining in popularity and we're seeing more and more out on the road. Harley-Davidson trikes really do have a lot of benefits and there's plenty or reasons to choose one. Harley Trikes are heavy and underpowered in a lot of ways, you're pulling a lot more weight with the same Harley-Davidson engine you'll find in the two wheeled counterparts. The formula for power is the same as any Harley-Davidson motorcycle but with the trike it's the approach you take and big torque, not horsepower needs to be your focus!

I have seen more trikes this riding season than I have my entire life. They are everywhere! Seems like everyone is riding them. Men, women, young and old. I'll ride a trike once I no longer feel like I can handle two wheels. I hope I can afford one when the time comes.

I own a 2021 HD TriGlide and love it. Installed a Stage II on the 114 and it woke the motor up. I can easily keep up with the two wheel bikes while riding in comfort. There so many benefits to a Trike such as comfort, stability, storage capacity, and high visibility to other drivers on the road. I can go on with all the benefits but I’ll let other riders try one out before judging. Again, I love my TriGlide.

@jay-jx5hc 9 месяцев назад

I just converted my 08 Lowrider to a trike with the Frankenstein Trikes Kit. Best move I did. Got me back out in the wind. Still have a stage 1 on it but thinking of doing cams. The 96 has the power but no one ever said there is too much power.

@GixxerFoo 11 месяцев назад

96 will do really well with a dyna converted over, those are quite a bit lighter than a touring bike convert. Cams will really make it haul a whole lot easier!

It came to a point where going two-up on my FLHTK was not an option following a leg injury. So I got into trikes. I am now on a 2021 CVO that I mostly use for long trips or when riding two-up. When I ride solo, I used to have a 48, that I switched for a FXLRST last year. So the best of both world. I often hear bad comments like I would never get on a trike or If it came down to it I’d stop riding. Let me know how it goes when you actually have to make that decision.

I did a 131 build on my 2020 triglide. It’s got a woods 77x cam in it with upgraded intake, roller rockers and cam plate and oil pump ,extreme CNC ported screaming eagle heads, bigger injectors and I beefed up the clutch and used a man o war compensator. I used Carrillo 11.5 pistons in it with a fuel Moto tune. It hauls ass now and I have to be careful when turning and hitting the throttle because it walks the front wheel. I don’t beat on it so hopefully I won’t have any problems with the transmission. I also replaced every nut and bolt on the engine with ARP 12 points.I’m glad I did it.

@Charger1908 11 месяцев назад

@@GixxerFoo your kinda the reason I built it and definitely the cam I used was because of one of your vids. I first used the wood 22XE cam in the 114, I liked it so much I tore it down a week later and built the 131. It also runs very cool now with Vance and Hines head pipe and slip one. I also put a remote oil filter with a ultra-cool twin fan oil cooler. It lopes a great deal so I leave the idle up where Harley had it set. Cheers!

Great video Gixx,, always great information. I bought a "15 for my old lady as she is vertically challenged and as we like to tour long distance it only made sense, as I have bad knees and back its only time before I hang up my Electra, point being is your absolutely right about being UNDERPOWERED..I bought ours stock and over heating, power issues and BAD fuel mileage plagued it, fast forward a DK customs oil filter relocation / oil cooler kit , a good stage 1 upgrade and it runs cooler, still having heat issues but the factory fans dont run constantly now and the power is much better. ( removed the cat, cobra neighbour haters, AN big sucker, and a VH3 tuner) really woke it up, but it really needs more. Ive never heard of a Woods TW7H but ill be looking into that this winter for it as the numbers you showed on screen are impressive to say the least, and exactly what this 1300 pound pig needs to make her fly. ride safe and look forward to the next one.

I have a 2019 Tri Glide Ultra and I agree, it was seriously underpowered, even with a 114 engine. I put Tab 4.5 w/Zombie baffles, an S&S Intake manifold, a better air intake, and Jims USA 818 cams and had it dyno tunes. Now she pushes 103HP (at 5000 RPM) and 130TQ (at 3570 RPM). I can get the front wheel off the ground if I want, and keep up with my 2-wheel club brothers, even on a 1200+ pound trike. I had to go to 3-wheels after 40 years on 2-wheels and a knee replacement. While the Tri Glide Ultra is great, if you mostly ride solo, the new Road Glide 3 is AWESOME. I just wish they had that out when I went to a trike and put a bunch of money into my Ultra. Also, going from 2-wheels to 3-wheels takes a bit of time getting used to. I was making 90 degree turns very slowly in the beginning ... you feel like the bike would tip over, but it doesn't. After a couple months, and adding a Legend Lift Kit, I can take turns faster than I can on a 2-wheeler. Also, trikes are ALL upper body strength for turning, no leaning, so there is that adjustment.

You'll really appreciate that suspension, I have never heard anyone make an investment in suspension and regret it.

wished i seen this before cause i just add the woods tw222 to my 2015 freewheeler it helped a lot but think it could be better stage one was done before the cams

Have about 30K on my 131 Tri Gluide no issues. More power is a no brainer. This is the most expensive model Harley maes and it is the fastest. The issue is learning how to ride one. If a person gets the right instruction it is a win win. Great Video.

A trike kit with independent suspension is the way to go

Thanks for the Woods cam info. What about a full exhaust? What would you recommend for a 2021 M8 114?

@RoyalKennedy601 7 месяцев назад

I put full rinehart exhaust on my 2020 114 I’m also interested in that woods cam

I'm not old enough or disabled ! And , I've been riding motor bikes , since I was 10 years old...starting w/ Honda Monkey 50 cc . Next Yamaha 100 cc. To a Honda 500 twin to Honda 750 cc. But , truth be told until you , become one with your scooter ! I mean balance , and parking lot maneuvering ! Not , putting your feet off the pegs when coming to a complete stop. Also you , do not steer a bike ! You , push and lean with syntriffical force...power in , and power out . LL KOOL RAY 😎 FRISCO

I am a proud owner of a 2019 Freewheeler Trike with a 114 Stage 2 conversion that gets up and makes a believer out of some surprised two wheeler riders. Everything from being my daily driver, to carving some canyons, this trike keeps me smiling like the Cheshire Cat! And I have future plans, some already in motion, for further mods that will blow some minds. For instance, currently I'm doing a RG3 total factory color matched fairing addition, then some incredible suspension mods and finally a crate engine / transmission, drivetrain upgrades that could possibly cause heading twisting neck injuries. Thank you for the video and info, Gixxer. Thumbs up to your channel!

@SkysaxonDragonslayer 11 месяцев назад

Prefer a good sidecar outfit over any trike… Don’t know why, but I never got warm with the look and how they behave on the road.

@andreachristensen5266 2 месяца назад

I have ridden over40 years got a 2023 RG3 trike love it! Should have done it minute my hip &knee started to hurt. Suffering to stay on 2 wheels was stupid. Best thing I ever did. Only complaint is M8 114 run so HOT my right calf can not take the Florida bumper to bumper traffic. What can I do to reduce motor heat on my leg? I been told it is the CAT. Bikes under warranty so can't pull cat off .

@GixxerFoo 2 месяца назад

Well under warranty you should be able to install a new header as long as you tune it with a Screamin Eagle tuner. That will help but you have to buy that tuner and it doesn't allow for AFR changes, which is what you want to do to further cool the bike off and make it run 100x better. Since you're under warranty and if you don't mind possibly buying another tuner later I would get an aftermarket performance header and mufflers, tune it with the SE tuner and purchase a Power Vision later when the warranty is up to tune it.

@clydedettor7080 Месяц назад

Andrea, I live in SoCal so I understand the heat and traffic issues as I have a 2022 CVO Tri Glide 117. DK Customs has videos on how to cool your bike. I bought their tank lift, air flow deflectors and the thing I think reduces the heat most is their floorboard extensions. They move your leg away from the pipes allowing more air flow between them. You can still feel some heat when stopped or going real slow but the difference is night and day. I installed everything with the help of my 8-year-old great grandson. None of these voids any warranty. Hope this helps.

@paule.maurice1521 8 месяцев назад

I remember the old Servi Car 3 wheelers . Police used them in the tube radio days How does the Tri Glide compare mechanically ?

@johnsb1550 11 месяцев назад

You ain't bullpoopin, they aren't cheap. We have a 2019 Triglide and was close to 50K out the door. If you are thinking of getting one because it's just too difficult to ride on 2's, then a Harley 3 wheeler is really your only option out there. Just a couple of points to add, they handle totally different from anything else. They can be a pain to get on and off if you have mobility issues, I had to install a "mid-step" which will solve that issue. And lastly, if you install a trailer hitch on it and take it in for warranty work, that will void your warranty, period. They handle pretty well in the snow, I don't recommend it, but it is a blast. Just turn the traction control off first!

@GixxerFoo 11 месяцев назад

Those are some excellent points! That traction control can be a real pain in the butt too!

@markfalcon5949 11 месяцев назад

After having open heart surgery at the end of May, my ‘01 Road King Classic has been wanting to get out in the wind. Me, still not ready to jostle all that weight around. I’m 5’4” and even though I have added a lowering kit, swapped out the rear air shocks with some Progressive hydraulic coil spring over shocks, it’s still getting to be to much for me to handle. Seriously thinking of doing a trike conversion. I have already swapped the cans, air cleaner, exhaust system race tuner install, etc. Also being retired, well funds become an issue. Any thoughts on this Gixxerfoo!!

@martinneps9387 8 месяцев назад

Would love to know when they are going to make them automatic. So people who have trouble with arms and legs do not have to shift gears. Please comment back would love to purchase one. But I am one of these people with trouble with a leg and Arm thank you for this video

@catesg 11 месяцев назад

I'm not ready to make that switch just yet but won't hesitate when I feel I can no longer handle the weight of two wheels. I love the styling of the Harley trikes but my mind keeps telling me two wheels in the front makes better senses. Decisions, decisions.

I have a 2014 Triglide Trike I’m looking at the Wood TW7H what type of tuner do you think I would need to purchase and will I need the SNS oil or pump or can I stick with what I already have?

@GixxerFoo Месяц назад

You can run the stock oil pump and cam plate but upgrades are well worth it while you're in there. I would highly recommend a Power Vison 3 for the tuner!

@txsviking 11 месяцев назад

They sure are getting popular around Houston. I don't think they are for me but ya never know.

@michaelconran5252 11 месяцев назад

Out in Arizona also. Rarely saw trikes in California, but in the last 5 years tons of trikes. I think it is because their are less younger people interested in riding and the riding generation, if you will, are social security age. At least that is my hypotheses.

@davidortiz173 11 месяцев назад

I've been riding for almost 49 years and when I can't ride a regular bike anymore, I am getting me a Harley trike! I love it because I'm kinda looking forward to it!🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

@hhplymouth9473 11 месяцев назад

I have thought about a trike in the future. They are expensive. I also worry that it would suck the fun out of riding. I am now trying to sell my VTX1800R. I got a Heritage Softail. It is lighter than the VTX and has a lower center of gravity. The lower center of gravity makes the Heritage feel much lighter than the VTX. The twin cam 96B runs smoother.

@GixxerFoo 11 месяцев назад

You hit an excellent point there on the center of gravity, metrics are great bikes but they sit up really high! I know they do it for ground clearance and lean angle but it makes the bikes so much heavier.

@craigkemmerzell5741 11 месяцев назад

Spot on that 103 in a trike was a dog I had a friend that had one we put his ass in the back Grest guy but he was always in the way 😢

@GixxerFoo 11 месяцев назад

That 103 just didn't have what it needed stock to pull that kinda weight around!

@user-pe2uo5ui2i 11 месяцев назад

I have a 1986 Softail & 2017 ultra limited that I just did the quick connect set up on my tour pack in order to remove it when I want, But my wife wants me to go ahead and get the Tri - Glide in the near future because we think it would just be a lot more fun to travel and take a tent and camp out like at Sturgis and Daytona bike week and save a ton of money on Hotel Rooms and have the security of being more safe on the highway no matter what the weather is like.
