Enjoy the  extended freedom! I don't think I'll be to far behind you Jerry. Looking forward to seeing it in person maybe at Eureka Springs.

Congrats Jerry, not having to worry about balance will make the ride even better for you. Can't wait to hear your ride report after getting a few miles on. :2vrolijk_21:

Thanks Don.  So far the M8 motor has be A-OK.  No problem during the year and 10k I have the 2017 CVO Limited.  I'm hoping for great things from the M8 - if it just stays together that'll be great.   :2vrolijk_21:

For sure.  Never really worried much about balancing but it seems with the huge heavy beasts we ride that every little imperfection in the road surface is just an invitation to disaster.  I always told the Queen that I'm not worried at all about riding it's the stopping and parking lot maneuvers that are the most dangerous were a tiny slip results in a fall.  Gravity is a bitch!

Added:  I recall that a friend and I took Doug Wolfe's Midwest Motorcycle Training course in Michigan in 2012.  It was great and we learned and experienced a lot.  But even Doug with decades of motor officer experience dropped his bike doing a demo ride for one of the exercises.  Chit happens for sure.

Really curious.  What has been Herself's reaction to riding on the back of a trike?  Anything good, bad or just unexpected?

Welcome to the club Jerry you will enjoy it more and more each time you ride it.  Did they finally level the rear and front so the Tri Glide doesn't look like it has reverse rake. All previous models everyone has had to buy the lift kit which raises the rear 1.5 inches and drastically improves the ride and the handling with an added bonus of the pipes not dragging on inclines.  Ride safe.

She hasn't ridden yet. I just took the first ride Sunday. She and I want me to get totally comfortable before the Queen gets on her throne. But she'll be on it soon and I'll let you know.

It does look pretty level Jim. But I do plan to add the DK Customs comfort lift kit.

RJS Originals makes the lift kit too and if you are going to do the install Bobs kit has a 1/2 square hole you can put a ratchet it to align the part. Saves a ton of time no one else has that option. . Here is his eBay site.  http://stores.ebay.com/nomorefriedthighs
