This has by far been the best and most thorough review I've seen on the 2020 trike...
Thanks for making it!
Glad you watched the video and got some information out of it that you could use. I have made several other videos now on accessories. I have made several other videos on this bike on the things I have added and how I did it. You might find those interesting also.
Just got my 2020 Tri Glide. This video has saved me many hours of looking through the manual. Many Thanks. (Harry in Scotland)
Glad the video helped. One thing I will say is that the rear adjustable shock preload tension is a lifesaver for the amount of weight you have on the bike. I am 180 and leave it at 0-2when the wife gets on I turn it up to 16 if I don’t I hear from her immediately.
How you liken that tri glide by now?
Great video! I've had my trike for over 6 months and still learned a lot from this video. Thank you for making this video.
Glad you could learn from the video. That’s kind of why I made it. I also have another video on the accessories I put on after riding for 2000 miles. You might enjoy that too.
Best review I've seen on TH-cam. Thank you!!! The information will serve us well on our new Trike purchase.
Thanks. I’m sure you will be happy with any trike purchase.
Planning on buying one? Then this is a must watch VID. Superbly covered and many thanks!
John Feenan Thanks John always like to inform people about what things are about.
Really good, in-depth tutorial. Thank you for taking the time to construct this video! OOPS! I just noticed you posted a 2020 Tri Glide accessories videos 9 months ago. I'll check it out now! Thanks again.
You’re welcome. I like to do those informational stuff. Glad you could use it
Thank you. Great tutorial. She's gorgeous. May God bless all your rides and keep you and your passenger(s) safe. 😎👍
Thank you very much
Great video. Just picked up my 2021 Trike tonight and found this video to be really great. Thanks
Glad you could use the video to help you. Be careful, because there are so many cool accessories you will start adding them and before you know it you’ll spend another $10,000
Just got my 2020 trike delivered last week. Great video. Learned quite a bit about my new ride. Several things no one at Harley shared.
Michael Duesing Glad the video could help you. That is why I made it. Because lots of stuff does not get explained. And there wasn’t much out there on the 2020 Triglide about in-depth understanding. I did change my handlebars out to the Khrome Werks 2+2 narrow sweepers because my shoulder blade and neck was sore all the time after riding. after 6000 miles I had to switch the handlebars out
Michael Duesing That cured the problem it brought the handlebars 2 inches for the back and 2 inches higher. But before I did the handlebars I got the drivers back rest and that helped a lot too. But now I have no issues
Your narration was superb! Nicely done.
Thanks! Try to make it to the point and no waste. Glad you enjoyed it.
Never ridden a trike, Know nothing about them and I'm thinking about getting a Trike so this was an excellent video for me. Thank you! Prayers Flying for safe travels.
2 woofs; Thanks for the nice comments. I have ridden two wheelers for many many years. I fell over on my adventure bike last year. That’s when I decided I needed to get something more stable because I did not want to quit Riding. I really like this Motorcycle. I’ve added a whole Lotta accessories to it which makes it really comfortable. I bought it in July and have 5700 miles on it. I am 65 years old and I am looking forward to many more years on this trike. I really like not having to put my feet down. Especially with my wife on the back when she ride with me. Took me about 3000 miles before I finally got comfortable riding it. I rode 75 miles in one stretch the other day. Pulled over at a convenience store in the shade. Leaned back on my riders back rest. Got my iPhone out and was in that saddle for another 45 minutes just sitting there. Never even got off the motorcycle started it up and continued on my way. It was amazingly comfortable
Best video I've seen about the Tri Glide. very good job, now keep it up with some more travel videos.
Thanks for the compliment. I already have 5300 miles on the motorcycle. I should be taking some more travel videos, you’re right!
Pitched up my 2020 TriGlide Ultra on Tuesday Oct 13, 20 (traded in a 2010 TriGlide Ultra with a stage 2 kit). Thanks for the very informative video!!
Thanks. How you and your bike doing?
@@windsurfed1 well, I decided on the stage 2 upgrade with Reinhardt exhaust, and the Dyno run showed a horsepower increase from 74 to 105 and a torque increase from 92 to 125 ft/lbs. and it sounds so much better too! I love it!
Congratulations on your 2020 👏 ...I have a 2019 Tri-Glide, and I will not go back to any type of HD two-wheel again. I did add sum amenities to the bike for add comfort for both myself & my rider (wife). I rode it through a rain storm from Flagstaff to Phoenix - stop & go all the way down I-17.
Normally it take about 1hr 45mins, but this day it was a 4 1/2 hr of constant rain. The Tri-Glide rode like a champ! 🏆 I saw a lot of different bikes on the side of the road, unable to ride through it. Great review for those that are thinking of going to a Tri-Glide? I am sold on the bike!!
Thanks for the comment Steve. Yes, Rain seem to be a non issue. Keep on forging ahead. I was going to buy a 2015. Went to the dealer to test ride a TG just to see if I like em. Ended up walking out with a 2020. Never looked back.
Informative video. I have a 2010 Super Glide Custom converted to trike. Hated it the first week and now would never go back to two wheels.
That seems to be the consensus of everyone that goes to a trike, they always seem to say I would never go back to two wheels and I am in that boat also!
Nice video! Easy pace, calm and extremely informative. Thank you
Glad you saw the video. I still have the bike unfortunately I put over $12,000 and accessories on it. All usable accessories not just for bling. I think I have around $550 on it for cosmetic bling. I have 23,000 miles on it now and it still runs like a top no issues. The motor is stock have not touched it, and I like it that way.
@@windsurfed1 I am also keeping the motor stock and exhaust system National Park, Campground and Hwy 1 quiet. Question: did you ultimately replace the handlebars? And if so, what height?
@@idaho_7407 I did replace the handlebars I went with the khrome works 2+2 handle bars, raise the handlebars, 2 inches higher and 2 inches closer back towards the body. Handlebars cost about $144. Cost about $700 to have them install. Had I known what I know now, I would have installed them myself.
Very good thorough review! Thank you!
Thank you for your comment. Glad you could maybe use some of the information.
Very well done, and very comprehensive! One thing though, at 15.40, this, is the "Toaster", it toast's your bread, to a lovely golden brown. Also, at 33.18, when illuminated, it tells you that the "Toast" is done! ...Keep safe, and ALWAYS, ware your Helmet! .....Harely Davidson, they think of everything.
Very funny! I still don’t know what that thing is. And that light sensor,it tells you when the toast is done. There is a lot more I learned about this bike after riding it now for a year and a half. One thing I know now is I can work on this bike. It is no different from any other bike you want to tackle the maintenance and put new parts on. And as for the helmet, I just bought a new Nolan N87 and will be doing a teardown on that helmet and putting it up on video.
Hi from Edinburgh, Scotland. Excellent, helpful and very informative, thank you for spending your time and effort to produce this. I don't get my new Tri Glide until September. This will allow me to ride it on delivery. Can I ask, what is good practice in normal riding conditions for braking on a Tri Glide? Likewise, what is best practice for emergency braking? (I note the linked braking). Many thanks.
harry clark When I first got mine I took it out on a straight stretch of highway and nobody was out there and I just practiced several times applying the brakes very hard. First I just used a rear brake pedal a few times and then I went and use the front hand brake lever. Just to see what it felt like and get some experience on hard breaking. This is my first experience with a Triglide. After about 1300 miles I started feeling comfortable with it. It seems to take a lot more concentration and effort to go through corners as I am not used to the three wheel or aspects of the bike. I am used to pushing the handlebars on a two wheel bike when cornering On this bike you must pull the front tire through the corners. It takes effort. But it’s a very fun Motorcycle.
@@windsurfed1 Thanks, very helpful.
Fantastic and so helpful. Thank you!
Glad you may have found some of the information helpful or interesting. I still have the bike I put over 9000 miles on it the first year I have about 23,000 miles on it now slowed way down but still enjoying riding.
Excellent review!
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it!
awesome video. Lots of great info
Thanks, glad you could use the information.
Great video! Very informative! Thanks
Glad you liked the video. I have a couple other videos of the accessories I put on the TG. $$$.
Most likely will never recoup money back on these but they are really well accepted by myself as I enjoy a motorcycle ride ..
Im relatively new in the motorcycle world and i have a noob question. Do both of the rear wheels push forward??
Good question, it has a drive belt powering the rear wheels and yes both wheels turn at the same time like positive traction both wheels want to grip at the same time.
@@windsurfed1 thank you . That is very good to know. Very reassuring. I will be saving up to buy one of these for my wife and i to cruise around hopefully within a year or two we love the look and the features of this harley
Light sensor is for the auto dimming of the dash lights.
I saw that a couple of times while I was riding. Thanks for information.
Well done - appreciated. A follow-up after you've put a few miles on would be interesting.
sidney snottley Good idea. I have over 6500 miles on it now. And I’ve added a lot of accessories. Perhaps I should make a follow up video.
@@windsurfed1 Onya ;-)
@@sidneysnottley6414 Well, on your recommendation I made a video on the accessories check it out
Nice presentation. I have the same year and color TriGlide!
I just put a new video up on the accessories I put on it if you’re interested. This is my first trike and I am loving every minute of it. I just had the whim installed and got the Whim install Ed and purchasedHarley Davidson Sena 20s

@@scottbollinger3641 hopefully you could use some of the information in the video video. Thanks for watching. I enjoy making them.
Will this radio Bluetooth to your phone or do you have to buy extra stuff. Buying extra stuff I’d the normal HD way.
You can add your phone via Bluetooth to the boom box.
And whatever music is on your phone can be played through the boombox speakers or your headset which ever you prefer
Good video. I got my 2020 Tri Glide in December 2020. One thing I noticed is on page 153 of the owners manual it says the oil capacity is 4 quarts yet on page 29 it says 5 quarts. Facts is it's 5 quarts.
Good point. I always fill up 4 quarts and then gradually put more oil in till is halfway up the Mark. I am still enjoying this motorcycle. Probably my last one. I should have bought a Triglide 10 years ago.
@@windsurfed1 Until this year I ran a part time Harley repair shop. I just fill it with 5 quarts and it brings it up to the full mark, using H.D. 360 oil. I've had problems using synthetic in Harleys due to their roller bearings. Earlier Harleys it had to be between the add and full mark. Since you don't lean trikes, the oil level remains constant. At nearly 74 years old it was time to get a trike. Took a little to get used to it after being on 2 wheels since 1967. Probably my last bike too. FYI: I was a Manufacturing engineer at 3 major engine manufacturers including Harley Davidson.
@@Greenjeans2020 You have quite an extensive background in Motorcycling. Any advice from you would be welcome. It took me about 1300 miles to get used to the trach now I just love it I accidentally put $8000 worth of accessories on
awesome vid
I think that light sensor brightens and Dems the screen for night driving but I’m not positive
Yes I think you are right. Someone else mentioned that to me also.
I'd put lock-nuts on those rear wheels. A very expensive pizza wagon. I don't usually carry a pillion but I think I'd get this version for the extra storage. Keep making them Harley.
I'v heard of those lugnuts coming loose. You got that right of a very expensive pizza wagon and it does have way too much storage, but I'm happy with that!
@@windsurfed1 As long as you use it a couple of times every year. Pack a tent in the lower compartment and head north or wherever or just visit a winery every now and then. Head home with a case or two of their best.
Is the cigarette lighter style power port on the right side of the fairing standard? I haven’t been able to determine if there is one already installed or if you have to buy it extra. Love your videos! You’re my go to source for tri glide accessories.
There is one on the right side of the fairing.
And it comes standard on the motorcycle. You do not have to install one. Thanks for the compliment.
What kind of gas mileage do you get? I've heard it is not good.
They advertised it at around 42 but with all my stuff on it, I am only getting about 33-37 MPG.
@@windsurfed1 Thanks for the reply.I was hoping for better numbers,but you gave an honest reply.
That is dream bike . Wish Icould have one !
Yes, it is a very nice motorcycle. I have had many motorcycles. I wish I would’ve bought this one 10 years ago.
my 2019 has a button to open or close the vent
Unfortunately, mine does not, I wish it did. wonder why they didn’t put one in there?
@@windsurfed1 guess if its raining pull over duct tape it closed
No heated grips on a 40 grand touring trike. 😢
If the bike would have came with heated grips, I would have excepted that. But I am not a fan of heated grips, but I agree with you for 40 grand. You would think it would have all of the bells and whistles, including heated grips.
Does the electronic system prevent the rear wheels to flip in a hard corner
The electronica system does not prevent a flip over but it manages it very well. As you can imagine if you go into a curve that is 20 miles an hour and you hit it at 70 or 80 it will not prevent it from flipping. If you went into that 20 mile an hour curve hard, it would help you manage to keep the bike level and easier to manage going through that curve at a higher speed.
@@windsurfed1 ok thank you. The can am spyder does prevent. Flip over. In hard corner I am deciding between both at this time Harley-Davidson does not compare in price and features. Should explain; The system calculates the angle of steer vs the speed. tIf a flip is obvious, it will cut the engine and the electronics will keep it stable. I tried to steer away from an obstacle on the road at high speed on a demo ride and the bike just got me in a safe position. really weird feeling.
@@laflammr I did a you tube video on the accessories I wanted/need/thought about/ after about 2000 miles. th-cam.com/video/HHVm9IgLf04/w-d-xo.html. After I fell over on my 2 wheeled motorcycle last summer I decided I wanted a trike so I did not have to put my feet down anymore. I Research the available trikes on the market. I am not a fan of Harley Davidson, but as you can see this is the one I choose. Am extremely happy with power/gadgets/comfort after the fact, And it met my criterias. I sure you will enjoy whatever choice you make!
@@windsurfed1 that is good. I had a Harley heritage classic and loved it. It broke my hearth to tease it for a 3 wheel Had no choice health reason. Tried freewheeled that is in the same price range as the can am spider. Was not impressed there is no comparison. I still love Harley but they are priced out of my range and does not have the comfort and handling of the can am et limited.
친절한설명감사함니다🇺🇸👍
👍
I will to get one .
They are nice, but still they’re just a motorcycle.
No difference from my 2014 other than engine I still love mine
Yes, I agree with you. They seem to be all the same only differences is the electronics and they went from air shocks to coil over hydraulic shocks.
👍👍
Wow!
I just signed up to try and win a HD sponsored new riders motorcycle course and come this next Saturday my local HD dealer is registering people to win a used HD bike when donating blood which I intend to do.
Wish I would win one or the other.
This HD trike would be my ideal bike though.
Wow, that would be really cool if you won. As we get older our balance is off and The spike just save me from any more worries about that.
How many six packs of beer will fit in the trunk LOL!
Good question. Don’t know. It holds a lot of stuff though.
Side winds do affect a trike u haven’t hit the right ones yet lol . It will push u a little
Well in all my travels, maybe you are correct. When the wife and I were on it in 40 mile an hour headwinds one day, the bike “Seemed“ to stay in a straight line but it sure blew our bodies around on the seat. It was unbelievable. Perhaps, at that time, I was comparing the TG in the wind to a two wheeled motorcycle in that wind.
I likef
I LOVE THE TRIKE IT WOULD NICE IF HARLEY DAVIDSON WOULD PUT A BUMPER ON THE BACK
They cannot do that. Because if they do, then they would have to raise the price of the motorcycle. It is already expensive enough. So they just cut cost by not putting things on and make you pay for it in the end if you want.
@@windsurfed1just ordered one approximately 350.$
TC light OFF while riding means TC is ON. Turning off TC must be done at a stop. While riding; TC light OFF means TC On. TC light on means TC OFF.
There is also a TC rain mode! Nice eh? While stopped, press your TC button and a blue cloud will appear on your display.
You are correct. Didn’t think anybody would catch that one.
You are correct. Didn’t think anybody would catch that one.
About the rain mode, I did not know that I will have to try it the next time I jump on my bike
