Hmmmm for sure.  Something doesn't look right in that web site photo for sure.

Hey Jerry, looking at your new 2018 Tri-glide and the one that's pictured on the HD website in black, the front headlight and driving lights look way different.  The picture below was snipped from the website this morning.  Look at the headlight and how much higher/wider and different the driving and turn signals sit.  The headlight looks like it's been replaced by a chrome cover.

hmmmmm.....
That's the hub-cap-as-a-headlight version with the optional "high-water" turn signals and passing lamps; they're a "must-have" in certain geographical areas.   ;)

Hi Jerry,
I read your posts about your new trike, and boy is that a nice color. I noticed the Queen may  have some difficulty getting on because of
her knee surgery. We were at our dealer today, and he has one in the same color as yours, and my wife really liked it. Anyway, I mentioned
to him about people having difficulty getting on, so he showed us one in the back that was getting ready for delivery. He mentioned many of
his customers were adding these "Mid-Step" boards, which really work nice for the passenger, and the rider.
The go between the floor boards, and the passenger boards.
He gave me a piece of literature from the company that makes them. I just want to pass it along, just in case you or someone else has an interest.
The company website is, www.trikemidstep.com  I also saw them on eBay. Search Trike Mid-Step, Harley Floor boards.

Enjoy that beautiful Trike,
Regards, Richard

Thanks Richard. I was aware of the mid-step and actually was able to try it. A local guy has it on his. Unfortunately both she and I have knees that just don’t want to bend sufficiently. Don’t think it’ll work but still evaluating. Thanks again. We’re really enjoying the trike.

Was thinking of Florida and Southeast Texas after the hurricanes (not the drink, although...)
