[1] Harley-Davidson entered into an agreement in 2008 with Lehman Trikes of Spearfish, South Dakota to provide parts and "conversion services",[2] and final assembly of the Tri Glides was initially completed at Lehman's facility.

Company owner John Lehman died in January, 2012, and the Tri Glides are now assembled at the Harley-Davidson plant in York, Pennsylvania.

[3] Shortly after the product introduction, a Tri Glide led the way in the parade at the Inauguration of Barack Obama on January 20, 2009.

[3] The Tri Glide is powered by a 114 cu in (1,870 cc) overhead valve V-twin engine that produces a claimed 120 ft lbs of torque and 93 rear wheel horsepower, and is equipped with a six speed transmission.

[7] Electric powered reverse was available as an option when the Tri Glide was introduced,[7] but later became a standard feature.
