Harley-davidson Tri Glide Ultra Review

Used Buyer Review

The Tri Glide Ultra is the real deal for long-haul comfort — three wheels, a massive fairing, and enough luggage space to move apartments. Milwaukee-Eight engines from 2017 onward are the ones to hunt for; the Twin Cam units before that run fine but vibrate your fillings loose over distance. Check the final belt drive religiously, and look hard at the steering damper — owners who skip maintenance on these end up with handling that'll genuinely unsettle you at parking lot speeds. Electrical gremlins are the used buyer's main headache here. Infotainment glitches, faulty sensors, loose connections behind the fairing — budget $500-800 for sorting whatever the previous owner ignored. The reverse gear motor is also a common failure point, and replacements aren't cheap. Always test it before you buy. That said, nothing else gives you this level of touring capability with this much street presence. Couples who ride together absolutely love these. Just go in with eyes open and a mechanic's number saved.
