Thanks for the comment. You got a new 2021 trike, that’s fantastic. This is my first trike. I should have bought one 10 years ago. Getting it totally set up for my comfort. With all the money I have dumped into this bike I could’ve bought a brand spanking new foreign motorcycle. But oh, well I’m glad I have this one for sure.
@@bertorosa5254 that worked for me for a couple of years. Then my wife wanted new shocks. And she got them. However, that method was fine with me riding solo.
I have since changed my mind about the tire pressure. I went down to 22 pounds and there was very little if anything noticeable about the suspension. And the ride was definitely softer so I would highly recommend going down to 22 pounds now. Isn’t that funny how a person changes their minds. Experience I guess.
Excellent! Very helpful. Last summer I bought at new 2021 Tri Glide. I love it! I do have a question. What was your factory preset for your rear suspension? Thank you! P.S. I love your RUclips videos, especially the Tri Glide videos. BW, ANC Alaska
Bill, when I got my Triglide it was actually sit on zero. I play around with it for a while then I did that experiment you saw and that helped me out a lot. Alaska!
Thanks for the videos. I have the same trike and love it. I really enjoy your videos on your mods. I have copied some for myself. Just a suggestion for you, I changed the antenna to a cravenspeed 4" stubby antenna and really like it. No more bumping into that annoying whip. Reception is great also. Thanks again for the work you do on these videos.
Thanks for the comment. I actually put A stubby antenna on mine also I don’t know what brand it is but I do like it but I also like the whip antenna just because I like a whip antenna. So I change them back-and-forth. I’m going to do an updated mods accessory‘s video hopefully soon as I have changed a few things and got new things.
OK, so I went and looked up the antenna I bought off of Amazon. It is a 13 inch “AntennaMastsRus” it seems to function the same as the OEM antenna. But it says in their description that it will not work with a CB radio. You bought a 4 inch stubby antenna I may have to look into that and maybe purchase that small antenna. Thanks for the information

Thanks for the video's. I'm being a sponge trying to get ideas before picking up my new 2022 Tri Glide . Well as soon a the Knee Dr. says OK. Setting the sag for weight increases, I'll be pulling a trailer, has been something I've been researching. Don't want to pay for Air Shocks. This helps a lot. On a different note do you get any hot air blowing back across the engine after installing the Jim's Force Flow Cylinder Head Cooler? Thanks again..
There is so much things you can add to this bike. I have added over $8000 in accessories. For that amount of money I could’ve bought a new brand motorcycle. As for the Jim’s force flow fan, it does not blow hot air across the cylinders on your right leg. The engine configurations does not allow a direct passage across the cylinders to Leg. On some motorcycles the engine configuration would allow the hot air, I suppose, to blow on your right leg. I never had any issues with the rear shocks. I am totally comfortable with the way they are. A lot of people change the rear shock configuration to something else to satisfy their passenger because they absorb most of the shocks back there. I believe as for the driver, the stock shock set up is satisfying. as for your knee, I think you would be extremely happy with the trike mid step. They are rather expensive but easy to put on but in the end you will be happy.
I’ve heard of people doing that. I wonder how good that would be. I know earlier some tri glide models came OEM with air shocks and people complained about them a lot. But I know some companies offer air shocks. Do you know anything about aftermarket air shocks?
Been riding trikes for about 6yrs now and I'm ok n my second trike(2021 Harley Tri Gide). Enjoy watching your videos....

If you zoom in on the pic you can see the antenna. Hope this helps.
@@bryanclark7656 yes I got a clear picture of the antenna I did zoom in. By the way beautiful motorcycle

Very interesting..
Thanks for posting.
It worked for me. That’s about all I can say. It may not work for everyone
Great information tx
Glad I could shed some light on the subject
Just put air ride on it and ride
I’ve heard of people doing that. I wonder how good that would be. I know earlier some tri glide models came OEM with air shocks and people complained about them a lot. But I know some companies offer air shocks. Do you know anything about aftermarket air shocks?
that road looks wonderful come to pennsylvania the land of taxes and shit roads
Yes, I have heard of the roads in Pennsylvania. They are pretty bad.
It’s so amazing how the politicians have decided to launder the road money to their pockets. And to heck with the roads.
I get it. Agreed
