Harley Davidson Triglide steel Tire Valve Replacement

This short video just show how I changed my rubber tire air valves to steel tire air valves.

I traded my Tri-Glide in last summer for a Spyder RT Limited. But I've enjoyed your channel for so long, and it was part of what convinced me to get a Tri-Glide in the first place. So I'm still watching! Keep up the great videos. Ride safe.

@@RideBlessed sorry, just now getting around to seeing this post. Can’t believe I missed it. I think the spiders are very nice. Smooth operating motorcycles. I’ve never ridden one but always wanted to try one out. I think out of the box they are so much more smoother. Seems like the trig glides you’re always having to add something to make it more comfortable.

Came across your channel and I’ve been looking at your Triglide videos. I just recently got a try glide myself. It’s a learning curve compared to a two wheeler but it is a lot of fun. Thank you for your like your channel.

@@harrytrattner2287 yes I bought my trike in 2020. It extended my riding seasons out another 10 years at least.I fell over on my two wheeler. Decided I needed a three wheeler. Best move I ever made.

@@windsurfed1 i’ve been on a two wheeler for 30 + years back in 2021 I had an incident on the freeway where I got into a tank wobble and laid my bike down. I told my Indian but I got up and walked away. I was going about 70 miles an hour. From that point, I’ve had a couple motorcycles since then, but my wife would not go on a ride because she felt scared. She was not on the bike during that incident that I laid the bike down. It was just me thank God. We always stop at the Harley stores and I finally asked her. What is it gonna take for you to get on the bike again and she told me why don’t you get a trike and I will ride with you. It was hard decision because I still feel pretty confident on a two wheeler but I understand her concerns so I purchased one after test riding one a new 2023 this pastApril, I must’ve gone back-and-forth with the salesman, but then I finally realized to just go ahead and do it and it has been a learning curve on turns but other than that it’s pretty amazing so I’ve been watching peoples videos and I came across your channel and like your content. I’m not too far from you. I live in California, but we go through to Montana a lot so I think you are somewhere in the middle maybe Seattle area Washington area at least from your videos and your T-shirt that you had on one of your videos, a Montana T-shirt anyways thank you for your.

What was the purpose of installing the steel valve stems? I would never thought of doing that.

[@windsurfed1]

I installed a aftermarket tire pressure monitoring system. The sensors screw on the valve stem. They are very lightweight. There is a schools of thought, that the rubber valve stems, with the sensors screwed on them, can, overtime, Crack, (because of gravity, speed, RPM of the tire)which would cause air to leak out. Sometimes fast sometimes slow. Maybe a catastrophe in the making. Maybe not! Installing steel valve, stems eliminates that threat, if, that even is a threat. Anyway, it is a subject that is talked about. Here is a link that may provide more light on your question.
