I'm just as bad. But i have at least 1 more upgrade. I am thinking a 2017 or newer Limited with a conversion to CSC. I like my Tri Glide but i am thinking it's missing a Independent rear suspension. I will be upgrading sooner than later ... just getting my ducks in a row, I am going to enjoy it for a year or 3 then upgrade...it only has 35000 miles on it so i can get my money back on it ... Hell i can even sell my 07 right now even with 111000 miles on it.
I considered "triking" my '13 CVO Ultra but after doing the math I thought that it just wasn't a good investment for me.
The CSC conversion adds both length and width to the dimensions of the trike and there are other conversion kits that offer independent suspension. It pays to shop around and to ask a lot of questions.

I don’t mind the length and width, I am pretty sure it adds to the overall comfort and smoothness…I looked at just adding IRS to the Tri Glide but that’s more than halfway a conversion…I still have plenty of time and am not even sure what I want yet. Time is on my side plus I have 2 great machines in the garage.
I'just got mine cleaned up after a great 30 days of riding with my wife. Left Toronto on May 23. Visited Nashville, Huntsville (family's down those parts). Then headed WEST. We stopped in Little Rock, Omaha, Amarillo, Albuquerque, Flagstaff, AZ, Winslow AZ, then on to tour 5 National Parks in Utah. Amazing! Then on to Denver, Co and eventually back home. About 10,000km and 36lbs of dust. No rain and 90+f temps were the challenge.
The DK tank lifts, air deflectors, oil filter relocation and oil cooler helped tremendously in the heat, not to mention the mini mite fans and the HD cool flow fan. Shoei modular helmet was awesome as well.
This week I was able to pick up the new GTS radio (on order for six months) and did a quick plug and play exchange myself and had the Dealer flash it. I am one of the small percentage of riders that really enjoy all the features of these units so I am pleased with the newer version of the Boom! and it's capabilities.
And that my friends is how I spent my 80th birthday!
I appreciate this fourm as I have benefitted a lot from all the tips, answers, warnings, and banter here since I switched to 3 wheels.
Happy Canada Day (Yesterday) and July 4th this Monday from a dual citizen.

Put amber driving lights on and wired the spots so they can be used either on bright or low beam.
Got rid of the air temp and put in a oil temp gauge.
Put Heim connectors on the shift shaft.
Found a broken bolt on the rear lever so replaced the lever.
Put a bigger horn on that I bought at a swap meet. Not sure the brand but it's LOUD!
Replaced the voltage regulator as I was charging at 16V. Also replaced the battery.
Flushed both front and rear brakes. This is not ABS bike.
LOF and new fluids in all 3 holes.

Mostly made the decision today to get a Fuel Moto head pipe to eliminate the cat. I really don't mind the stock muffin. After 2500 rpm they sound fine going down the road.
