My winter mods so far...

Awesome. I have the dkcustom original lift kit. I absolutely love it. Dkcustoms does some really quality work.

Rear Fender Reflectors
I added reflectors to the rear fenders. These reflectors come on the 2014 International models but not the USA TG's.
This now gives me three reflectors on the rear of my Tri-Glide, just stick them on (no drilling). These reflectors are in the 2014 TG parts catalog, page 94-95, part #67900076, just call your dealer.

I made a phone call to my selling dealer today. They agreed to install the DK Customs Comfort Lift for one hour of labor. Since I got notice today that it's on it's way, I should be able to get it in Wednesday or Thursday for install. They will do it while I wait. That should keep me to just the one scrape to the bottom of the left muffler.

This is not a great picture but I wanted to post one before the lift kit is installed on Thursday for comparison's sake. I will post the "after" pic later and we shall see if it works.
OK, so it's real hard to tell by the pics but before I had 4" clearance from ground to bottom of muffler, now I have 6".

The DK Customs Comfort Lift is now installed. I really like how the trike sits now and it should definitely help with the mufflers dragging. Need to get the wife out for a ride soon, so I can see how it feels two up. The steering does feel noticeably lighter. I was just feeling really comfortable with the stock configuration, now I just need to log some seat time and all will be good with the new setup. I got in about 100 miles today in near 60* temps.
Wind is now howling or I would still be out there.
I also put the mirror extensions on today and it's wonderful! I can now see what's behind me much better! Should have done that right away.
Short of possibly installing some 3M paint protection, I think my winter mods are done.
