Nice tire. After you break in in, let us know what you think. I have the standard AV71 on my short list, as they don't make the trike only tire for the Freewheeler.
2017 Harley Davidson Freewheeler (107 cu.in. vivid black).
Weather finally allowed me to take Harley's Pre-Rushmore Sundowner Smooth Deep Bucket Demo Seat for a ride. This one is Part Number 52093-08A and it has a wider riders (16") and passengers (14") seat than the Sundowner Rushmore Model. Much deeper rear pocket that nicely supports the tuchus and is comfortable to the tailbone area. Was able to get a 196 mile ride this afternoon

Pot 473 miles on Sunday including a roadside replacement of my shift lever. I carried the one I remove when I did the heel shift delete. Going to reinstall with red Loctite this time. Blue didn't hold. Is there a lever that won't fall off? I am thinking about drilling the bolt for a safety wire.
I had a very busy weekend beginning Thursday night. did the teardown for R&R of new 12" Mayhem bars and ended with installation of a decatted stock headpipe. A few takeaways from the handlebar war as in the handlebars and wiring harnesses being at war with each other. The bars won. For some reason I thought I could fish everything inside the bars. Not saying it can't be done, just not by me. Also, the TBW and right switchpack wiring harnesses are extremely tough. Had I not wasted 6 hours on trying to be Mr. Wiring ninja I would have had the whole job done in about 4 hours. In the end, I went external with the right side wire harness and the left internal.
Put about 250 miles on Saturday and I really like these bars. It steers a ton easier and I feel much more stable because of the extra width.

If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

I made an appointment to get my Clutch Recall taken care of. Also to get my 15000 mile check-up done. They quoted me $400.00 for the service. And that they are changing all fluids. $400.00, Is that right or a little too high?
2022 Tri-Glide Black.
To me that is very high but I do all my own oil changes and service checks as much as possible. Changing oil and other fluids is not rocket science just check U tube or such for tips and videos on procedure good luck Fred
