TRI GLIDE honest opinion
#31
I purchased a new 2011 back in October. If your dealer has a rental program and you can rent one for a couple days, I would suggest that you do it and see how you like it. I rented a 2010 Tri-Glide for a 3 day road trip and that was pretty much the deal sealer for me. My dealer has a program that if you rent a bike and purchase a new one within 60 days, most of the fees paid for the rental can be used towards a new purchase. My dealer also gave me a great trade in on my 06 Road King so that sweetened the pot even further.
Yeah, you'll spend a pile of extra money on accessories and such, but I do it (as do most) for every new bike I buy anyway. No regrets so far.

The stock EPA Cams and the Catalytic Converter will also burn your Azz up. The right Cam and dumping that cat will put a smile on your face and cool your Azz off

I’ve owned 7 Harley’s over the years so I’m very familiar with the “Harley Tax”; but have always considered that to be personalized items such as a more comfortable seat, foot pegs, handle bars or a more suitable sounding muffler and of course, the obligatory bling. All optional items that personalize your ride.
IMO; it is stretching the definition of “Harley Tax” when you have to spend big bucks to cool the bike down so that it is safe and comfortable to ride. To simply chalk up safety and engine life mods as being part of a “Harley Tax” tends to trivializes the problem and lets Harley off too EZ!
Just say’en!
