2023 Road Glide 3 - The First Week Thoughts

- Thoughts on my first week with my new Harley Davidson Road Glide 3. Looking forward to putting on my new LA Choppers 14” handle bar when it comes in. Appreciate Dennis Kirk with all their accessories they offer. Can’t wait to pick up my Custom Dynamics lighting and getting it installed. Dirty Bird Concepts will be my next step in seeing if I can upgrade this audio. Klock Werks windshield is worth the investment. Shout out to Warhorse Harley Davidson in Ocala, FL for working out this deal!!
I have a 2019 Tri Glide, which I got after I had to move to three wheels from my 2013 Road Glide Ultra. If I had known this was coming down the road before I just got done dropping $8k in engine, suspension, bars, seat, and sound upgrades, I'd have gotten the RG3. I absolutely love the look of the RG3.
Fellow newbie to trikes too.After 30 plus years on two wheels. Mine is a converted Softail. All I can say is that you have relax and take it at pace that is comfortable for you.
I've been riding a Tri Glide since 2018. The steering does take some adjustments but it's not too hard to get used to. It's easier to push than to pull so for most of my steering, I keep the elbow of the outside arm rigid and rotate my shoulder a little. You do have to respect the turns/curves more than on two wheels. If you go into a curve too fast, it's possible to make the inside wheel come off the pavement but if you roll off the throttle, you'll be fine. Although leaning isn't really necessary on a trike, in a curve you can feel a bit like you're sliding off the seat and leaning slightly to the inside fixes that. It's pretty much impossible to actually slide off but you can get that sense.
Call your dealer, harley makes a stabilizer relocation bracket, it's on the triglide. With that and the road glide ultra or limited fairing support brackets and crash bar. It'll work. Just did one the other day.
Small world !! I live in Pinellas and purchased my Tri Glide at warhorse HD. If you have not already bought the lowers, check out the video from the company in Tennessee. He just posted an install on a Roadglide 3 with fairing lowers.
Do the parts for the RG3, except for the Road Glide Fairing, also fit the Freewheeler, i.e. are they cross compatible?? Cheers, love the RG3!
donnie watch for hydroplaning when roads are real wet ,watch yer speed.
Almost forgot, thanks for your service!! I'm retired USN, use to give you guys rides everywhere😂
Highway pegs help tremendously in hard cornering. Look up Ciro3D, theirs attach to the floorboard mounts, real sturdy.
Very good video brother, I'm loving my new late 22 tri glide w/ 400 miles so far. I put a lot of custom dynamics lights on already just a few more to go. After 55 yrs. on 2 wheels and owning 60+ bikes and 750k on 2 wheels. I wish i bought a 3 wheeler a decade ago. I'd never go back to 2 wheels. Even if i could, I'm 64 and a disabled vet. Keep them videos comming, and ride safe!..
Semper Fi Brother!! My old Marine Corp knees, really have me lookin hard at these and the Freewheeler. Found your videos and had to subscribe!! Thanks for the info and great videos
That is a sweet looking ride. Like yourself, I rode the three wheeled ATCs, in So. Cal. deserts and yes, they do tip over 😎
My wife wanted to learn to ride so I got her shadow 600. Just after I get it she had 3 strokes and walks with a cane most of the time, but she still wants a bike so I told her it will have to be a trike now, and here I am. I'm trying to get a feel for what she likes and so far it looks like a can am.
I would like to see the 180 front tire kit. I think it would look awesome.
Great information thank you and thank you for your service. Happy memorial day.
SemperFi and stay face out there. Thank you for your service in the military and in your community. Congrats to your new venture with your HD Trike. God bless.
Man that is nice! I had been seriously looking into getting one, but the numbers just didn't work out for me and I needed to see one in person but all the dealers I spoke to told me that HD hadn't shipped any out at the time. I am looking forward to seeing what additional updates that you make although it is pretty hard to see you needing to do anything to it as it stands now. Godspeed!
That's a badass machine.
Congrats!
Appreciate your review... Have a bunch of two wheelers now, and I'm kinda excited about getting a RG3 next year.
