We don't have a Tri Glide yet but I'm planning 2 hours for this install; 2 beers per hour equals 4 beers!!! Test ride is the next day.

I just received my lift kit from Dennis Swan (TGlide Stuff) and having it installed now. My question is, will there be a difference in how it takes the turns?

I haven't notice any adverse effect. In theory there is probably a difference but in real world seat of the pants riding it seems to handle curves as well as ever.

Thanks! Getting my 40K service done along with new tires and brakes. So I wont be riding it for a few more days. I mostly will be glad that I won't be scraping my a$$ at every driveway!

Had the lift kit put on this morning. I like the way it looks and I had no problems with handling of any kind. Will take my wife for a ride to see if she notices any changes.

You now can lower the shock pressure to keep it at the height as before of taller at a lower shock pressure, So the Wife should love it !!

My wife thought the ride was a little to stiff. Took some air out of the shocks and that made a big difference. We are good to go.

I am one happy triker! Got my lift kit installed and loving it!
Before: 5.25" clearance just below my pipes
After: 7.0"
I've attached a couple images, hope I did it right.
