Does anyone own both a Spyder and Tri-Glide???
Hope I don't get slammed here... But, does anyone own a Spyder and a Try-Glide?

Do Tri-Glides still use the starting motor for reverse?

You probably won't get slammed. The posting rules prohibit that.
However...you will hear some opinions that you may not agree with, if, you are a Tri Glide proponent.
The subject has been discussed a few times here. Remember, this is a Spyder website (SpyderLOVERS), so don't be surprised if the answers are biased in favor of Spyder.
Even I have an opinion on this one. Without going into to much detail...
When the new RT (touring version) Spyder came out in 2010, the same year they introduced the Tri Glide, I went to both dealers to see which one I wanted. The RT won for many reasons.
The TG was almost double the price for the RT. They wanted $40K out the door...which included a $5000 admin fee. because I was buying a Harley.
They are both entirely different machines. I compare the Tri-Glide as a low end Ford or Chevy from the 60's. Remember the bench seats, uncarpeted floors, cheesy trim-if any, three on a tree unless you wanted to upgrade to an automatic. The RT was more like a Cadillace out of the box.
You get the idea, I am sure.
Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.
