Trike
Hey Sugerbear, who made the back rest?
Hello again fellow Freewheelers.
Trike was delivered today looking great. Here are some details:
It is a 2017, used with 1,437 miles. The previous owner had the luggage rack, back rest and windshield installed. The dealer added a rear bumper at no charge to us. Another $1K in gift cards and a couple free t-shirts sealed the deal. My son and I both ride Iron 883s. We have both taken the trike for a ride. Definitely a different animal. It is going to be a lot of fun.
Nice Freewheeler Michael!

Sweet ride, and I love the color. Going from an 883 Iron to a Freewheeler is a huge jump, but it will grow on you. Still miss my 2 wheeler on the twisties.Originally Posted by priell3
Thanks for the welcomes. I have lots to read and learn.

hi Folks, Just added new Memphis Shades Batwing to my FW. Also added Hogg Tunes for music, don't know why I waited so long to add.
Memphis shade
In your photo your fairing looks way lower than the previous post and photo by Dannymax.hi Folks, Just added new Memphis Shades Batwing to my FW. Also added Hogg Tunes for music, don't know why I waited so long to add.
any thoughts why?
It has ape hangers that are higher. The fairing is the same height. Notice there’s no difference in how it fits on the headlight.

Front brake controls
I was considering removing the front brake control from my freewheeler. Do I really need it?
Yes you do.

Why would you be thinking of taking the best to date HD linked brakes apart?

I rode Roadkings since they came out in 94 but I'm loving my 17 freewheeler. I do a lot of long solo rides and it's great not having to think about U-turns, gravel and oil, parking on a slope, fast stops, wet roads etc.
Riding a freewheeler in the rain has it's good and not so good points. When raining it's a great feeling to have 3 wheels on the ground and two tail lights (plus a light bar on my luggage rack), but if I'm caught without a rain suit my pants get immediately soaked from the knee down due to the shorter front fender (vs roadking style). I don't notice any water coming from the rear fenders at all.. can't say how it might affect a passenger. But the peace of mind when riding in the rain far out weighs the wet pants.
I did put front fork wind deflectors on my FW which is like night and day when riding 60 or 70 mph for hours, but I think the water is coming more from the front tire. I do kind of wonder how the air filter will do if riding for hours in the rain... might have to get one of those covers.
Here a couple of photo of the front end and deflectors.

Get some "soft lowers" .they go on the crash bars & fold up nice & small when not in use. I have a set I dont use anymore. Cmon down to the Kerrville get together & I will bring them down. https://www.harley-davidson.com/store/soft-lowers

That's a great idea and easier to put on the rain paints and boot gators! Kerrville has some great roads too. hmmm.
Hey, you could have given those to me, I had to buy my own. I took them on my trip to Utah, really nice in the mountains.

I was thinking of drilling out my baffles for a deeper rumble, but didnt know if l would have to remap the bike? Than if l didnt like the responce or the sound, purchase a set of slip on pipes. As l just boughtthis and stored it for the winter.
