Heat ant the problems that surround fixing the heat problem with a Catalytic Converter now in the equation. Won't be able to take full advantage of most mods with that stuffing in the headpipe and even when the 2010 MAPS are developed Harley still won't richen the AFR up enough with the store bought MAPS. Have the problem of ruining the Cat from excess fuel if I do get the mods needed to get a little extra power and cool the trike down.
Waiting for several 2010 owners to post after mods to see which direction seems the best to go! Cat will have to go this winter, but Harley put us in a bad position with the heat problem. I could live with every other little defect the 09's had, still a great first effort and a good Trike. The 2010 presents a tough problem to work around under warranty.
Coupe55 I totally agree with you. The problems that I had with my 09 pail in comparison to the issues with the 2010. My 09 will run circles around Msocko3 2010 and it certainly runs alot cooler. It has its heat issue but not like the 2010. I will also be putting in the 255 cams this winter even though it has more power than the 2010. I like alot of low end grunt. My 06 Ultra spoiled me.
They just said the trike is hard on front tire and the ebaring was a counicdense.
Sounds like the front axle nut wasnt checked after the trike arrived for proper torque. Causing the front tire to wobble very slightly and wear on the bearing
The sealed bearings in the front end should last 50k plus. The tire sould have lasted 15 to 20k depending on your riding style and no road hazzard issues
I had 15k on the original D402 that came stock on my 08

I get it but it was not worth the 200 bucks for the tire to get into a pissin match. I have already quit going to the dealer I bought it from within the first month after I got it. now I have to drive 50 miles to the one I go to now and the tire is not worth having to go 100 miles to the next one just to have the same old thing there.
