Similar here. Hated it and had deep buyer’s remorse. 5000 miles now and an equal amount of money getting it tolerable. Suspension sucks, gotta fix that next.
hope your experience is better.
I have a 23 Triglide and love it - Your experience is not everyones so no reason to **** in his Cheerios.
Congrats on the ride! Just take the first 100 miles easy as there are idiosyncrasies to get used to.

It's ok, Uncle Kebo. I realize that while HD trikes work for and satisfy many riders, they don't work for and satisfy ALL riders, just as pickup trucks work for many people but not all. I had really wondered whether a trike would work for me. My demo ride convinced me big time.

Hey Jim - Enjoy the ride. Ride safe and rubber side down!!

Congrats on your new ride. The siren is kind of a waste on a trike. It takes an earthquake to set it off. Maybe think about a rack instead?
Many miles of smiles.
I realize a trike is hard to shake enough to trigger an alarm. But given that I already have a pager (from my Breakout puchase), and the pager needs the siren to function, and for the $110 or so that the siren is costing me with the new bike discount, it makes sense to do it. If thieves try to steal it, they have to move it to do so, so the siren and the pager will both react.
I mentioned the purchase of the trike to my 2-wheel Harley neighbour, and he was so intrigued that we spoke for about a half hour! He wanted to know how it felt to ride a trike, why I bought it now, how the reverse gear works, etc.!
