Default 2013 differences

Hi, new guy here. Just bought a '13 Triglide and loving it already. I was just curious as what are the differences or upgrades in the '13 as compared to the earlier Triglides. The reason I ask is that in reading this forum folks talk about adding this or that on their earlier trikes for example a 30t sprocket which I just found out is already on the '13".

Good questions.

I'd like to know as well (new 2013 TG owner) as I'd like to get the shop manuals but am only finding ones online for 2011 TG's.

First, welcome to the forum..I don't ride a TG anymore, but the wife has a GW trike and I like the guys on this section, plus they haven't run me off yet

I had a 2010" with the 32 tooth sprocket..changed it to the 30t...what a difference..

Ride safe...

Welcome, I saw the pictures of your Tri on the other site, and love that midnight pearl two tone. If I were to have purchased another color, that would have been the one, but had my heart set on the Anniversary Edition.
As you have probably seen with the other reply's the main difference of the 2013 MY Tri-Glide is the change to the parking break to allow water to drain. I have to be honest, in 3,000 miles now on the Trike, I have only used reverse about 3 times. I just park as if I had my two wheel Ultra most of the time. Pull up to a spot and coast it back in to place with a light kick to the ground.

Hey Fusionfool! Sounds like a plan. Really like my new trike have to get used to the clutch though. I guess a "Clutch Wiz" is in my future! Glad see someone here from the other site! Keep in touch and let me know how the trike is running for you.
