2011 TriGlide

They changes the gear ratios for the trike, I'm bummed they did it now when they should have done it right from the beginning. That is one of the things I told customer service last year was 6th gear was useless at anything less than 75 mph. Looks like they listened. The flip side is this is also their way of helping perk up an under powered engine, gear it higher and it will feel more powerful. The sad thing is it will still be the same cooker we've all had to deal with, I'm disappointed in the MoCo but not surprised.

Hmmm, yeah, can't imagine them changing that bucket-of-bolts six speed. I would really be interested in a cheap sprocket change. I would hope that wouldn't mean a belt change too?

I paid $380.00 to have both of my rear wheels chromed. The front was a $305.00 core charge exchange. Of course there was also tire mount & dismount charges, balancing and shipping but the total tab was a lot less than the $1,500 Harley wants. Nobody should be surprised at that!

I sent mine to California just like The Jimer. They charged $200 each plush shipping. Then add mounting and balancing. I think I had around $795 in them.

Primary gear ratios the same as 2010 trike They must of changed the Belt Sprocket Ratios. As for the latch for the trunk looks like a single latch in the center of the trunk door and push button lock on the box. When the 2011 parts book is available. I will buy it and cross reference parts between the 2010 and 2011. As I did with the 2009 and 2010. I find the parts book as valuable as the service manual. If possible and cost effective I might go with the 2011 latch on my 2009 Tri Glide and my 2010 XXX. There seems to be some nice wheel options. Still want to know whats been done to the emissions and ecm for 2011. As the cat in the head pipe was a surprise to me on the 2010 Touring and Trike models. As far as the 2011 Colors go The Merlot/Black combo is classy. The Orange on the XXX is kinda nice also. As Jimmer The Blue and Black combo does look like a Police bike from back in the day. I think it's kinda nostagila looking. They the MC should of offered a two tone option on the Street Glide. As the XXX looks more like the old service car models. We'll see what reviews come in within the next few months.

Why should we be surprised or disappointed, as long as the public buys them as fast as the MoCo makes them, why would they spend money on ANY changes. Just MHO.

Your right, that is one reason I'm done buying. I've lost all faith in the MoCo, they just don't seem interested in customer satisfaction.

The one thing you can be sure that hasn't changed is the response to any of the following: the rear cylinder is frying my butt and legs, the cat is frying everything else, the transmission sounds like a threshing machine, it's down on power, the seat is worthless; answer, THATS's NORMAL--next.
