Least costly way of doing a sensible Stage 1 on a trike?
#22
I went from my 2009 Fat Boy to a 2022 CVO Tri Glide last November. I spent the winter reviewing all the YouTube videos I could on Tri Glides. The best site I found was DK Custom Products. The best advice I got was "ride your bike first" before spending $$$ on changing it. After riding it, I knew what my priorities were: 1) protect the CVO paint job, 2) Reduce engine heat to OEM specs and protect the engine, 3) improve rider comfort.
Therefore, the solutions to my priorities were 1) Hog Skins Paint Protection Film with Gtechniq Ceramic for PPF, 2) DK Custom's 1.5" Tank Lift Deluxe, Cooling Deflector Wings, EBS Catch Can, 3) 12" HD Batwing Mini-Ape Handlebar, Extended ISO Shift Pegs, DK Custom's 13" NexGen Shocks with lift kit, DEI Cool Shield for under the seat. Trust me, the $$$ add up quickly. I am glad I rode it first to know my needs and priorities and found the DK Custom website. I believe it saved me from making a mistake of adding things I thought I needed without riding it first (i.e., expensive oil cooler system,...). I did all the work myself and therefore bought a HD CVO Tri Glide Service Manual, Husky 3-ton Floor Jack with two Jack Stands.
