I purchased the 2023 Tri-Glide 120th anniversary edition . As soon as we went for a ride we knew cooling this Tri-Glide down was absolutely necessary. So we Ditched the stock exhaust getting rid of the catalytic converter that was the source of heat for my wife - Then we went to UltraCool oil cooler with the UltraCool oil filter . Additionally we went to Jims Force Flow Fan . What a "felt" difference when stuck in traffic . Although we purchased other products - we did use all of the DKCustom information provided . We really want to thank DKCustom for their research and shared information .

[@DKCustomProducts]

Congrats on your new Tri-Glide. Wishing you many miles of smiles!!!! Glad that the information and testing that we do is helpful! Thank you for commenting! 😎 MB

I have a 23 triglide. Installed a 1" tank lift, deflector wings, oil cooler and oil filter relocation kit, and HD cool fan. Also installed V and H exhaust to get rid of catalytic converter. Riding in TX heat at Interstate speed my oil temp is between 210 and 220. Thinking about adding Jims Fan to cool further at stop lights or in traffic.

Sounds like you have gotten your Oil Temps down to a good temp. I am glad you are enjoying the benefits of having the parts installed. Thank you for commenting!

We need more support for indian motorcycles!

[@Rolling3]

When you purchased any Indian motorcycle model , ya kinda had to know dealerships are as limited as the aftermarket parts. I wanted the 23 Indian Chief? so I'm not being negative at all . My deciding factor was the limited aftermarket parts and availability - vs Harley ?

[@DKCustomProducts]

I am sorry that the support for Indians is limited! I do hope that you can find the support you need! Thank you for commenting! 👍 MB

[@SilverIndian]

I chose aIndian over Harley because are more reliable & offer better handling, suspension etc.. Value for money. That doesn't mean the aftermarket will not offer upgrades through time. We have to ask for this.. Dedicated Harley shops have eyes closed for Indian motorcycles.. Time to wake up as their beloved company went woke & start loosing dealerships & bikers. In UK 5 dealerships closed.... In USA also a lot...

My 2017 tri glide ultra does not have an oil cooler on it and the only time my oil temperature gets much above 200 degrees Fahrenheit is when I'm running down the expressway at 70 plus miles an hour. I use a dipstick thermometer to check the oil temperature. The engine temperature will get between 265 and 270 degrees Fahrenheit.

[@TheBigdogdg]

Ok guys, I finally bought my first HD!! It’s a 22 road glide special, after purchasing the bike “new “ with full warranty I started researching the heat and crank case pressure problem I was told not to worry about them because HD solved those problems and my dealership won’t install either pressure relief parts, transmission cover or air cleaner kits!!! I took it in for the 1000 mile check up and I complained about finding neutral, extremely high temps off the bike, and now loud noises from the front head and a squeaky sound from the air cleaner that gets louder the longer I ride it and hotter it gets, I can use some advice please

[@DKCustomProducts]

The migration from the transmission to the primary on your 22 RGS should have been resolved by the primary vent that was installed at the factory...you should already have that. Earlier years we had to do it after, since they were not installed at the factory. Here is a video on them- kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJComXl8gNt7e68 Finding neutral will be improved by the following 3 things: 1. Running Redline shockproof in the transmission 2. Making sure the primary does not have too much lubricant in it...if it is too high, it causes the clutch plates to drag and makes neutral more difficult to find. 3. Changing the shift linkage ends to heim joints, will make for much smoother and more precise gear changes. See link on them here- www.dkcustomproducts.com/pair-of-quality-heim-joints-for-harley-shift-linkage-dk-hj-pair.htm Heat is going to be a problem that HD cannot/will not fix. We have a written report on what can be done to lower temps significantly at this link- www.dkcustomproducts.com/why-how-to-cool-down-the-twin-cam-engine-part-i-dk-cl-tc-dn-1.htm Regarding "loud noises from the front head and a squeaky sound from the air cleaner that gets louder the longer I ride it and hotter it gets", it is really difficult to say what that is without the bike in front of us, but what you describe absolutely should be addressed. I would try a different Dealership. Always feel free to email or call with any questions. [e-mail] 662-252-8828 KP

Best way to keep a Harley cool is to drive it into a lake. Right, Jochen?

[@DKCustomProducts]

That is not an option for those of us that actually enjoy riding our Harley's. MB

[@JCunningham21]

Where is the best place to monitor the oil temp. I have a dyno tuned 131 with a CR-515 cam in a 21 Low Rider S. I have a temp sensor in the oil drain plug. it reads cold 150- 200F It was 88f today and driving is in city traffic it only showed 210f or so. I also have a oil pressure sensor in a Improved racing ENV-117. I have a adapter that will let me put the temp sensor in where the oil pressure light sensor is. Not sure if it would make a difference though.

[@DKCustomProducts]

All our testing is done by getting the oil temp at the Oil Tank. We use the Harley Temp dipsticks, some of them are analog, some are digital. We also use the Analog Oil Temp Dipstick from JES Custom Accents to measure the oil temps on our bikes. www.jescustomaccents.com/ You can use the other locations you mentioned, however, for comparative purposes, the vast majority of folks (including Harley when they say what Normal Operating Oil Temps are...see link below for a photo of the HD manual on the subject) all measure at the oil tank with a Temp Dipstick. www.dkcustomproducts.com/pub/image/Links_2/Normal%20Oil%20Temp.png Thank you for commenting!

[@dhc8guru]

I just bought a 24’ road glide and after riding in 106 degree heat for two hours in mixed riding, the dash temp gauge read 220-230 degrees. After I parked in my garage, I stuck a cooking thermometer in the oil tank and it read 160 degrees and shot a laser temp gun at various points around the engine and nothing read higher than 240 degrees. So the twin cooling seems to be working.

That is great! Sounds like your bike is an exception and does not run hot. Here is a video on using a Infrared Heat Gun that you may find interesting - kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5fKoKFvhshkeJo Thank you for commenting! MB

They get hotter than that. I have '24 Street Glide and anything north of 85 degrees in city riding and EITMS is activating which is 287 degrees engine temp or more. At 95 degrees it activates right after coming off the interstate. My infrared gun shows lower temps but it can be inaccurate off of shiny things like highlighted cooling fins.

Did you guys ever get a distributor here in Canada? Also, do you have any tips on how to improve rear braking on a non ABS/non linked brake Tri-Glide. Like my 2011.

[@DKCustomProducts]

I am traveling right now. If you email or call the shop on Tuesday, they can let you know about Distributors in Canada. Regarding rear brakes-I could push hard enough on the brake pedal on my 2011 Tri Glide to lock up the rear tires. If you push really hard and cannot lock them up, then I would look at the pads and/or the rotors. I know a lot of guys that say they have gotten better braking out of the EBC brake pads. Hope that helps. [e-mail] 662-252-8828 KP
