Freewheeler Lid Organizer - accessory I would like to Have

[Springman2007]

Guys,

With the recent posts on Freewheeler accessories and the Tour-pak, it got me thinking that I would like to see a storage organizer for the inside of the Freewheeler's trunk lid.

Anyone seen one or investigated this?

HD, are you listening?

Re: Freewheeler Lid Organizer - accessory I would like to Have

I was just telling my wife this past week how I was hoping someone would come out with one. Sure there will be one soon.

It looks like Saddleman (Part# 3516-0151) Trunk Lid Organizer is supposed to fit a Freewheeler. I just ordered 1 and will reply back once I receive it. Saddleman's site stated 10-14 days before it ships so it'll probably be close to 3 weeks before I receive it.

Not seeing anything that says it fits the FLRT. Looks like the same Tri Glide one to me. If I am missing something post a link to the one that fits.

Not sure if the link will work but when I did a search this came up " Trunk Lid Organizer Trike; Products - Drag Specialties" and it listed 2015 Freewheeler under the fitment area, same one as for the Triglide and Street Glide trikes.

Guess you get to test the fit! Lid on the FW looks a bit different size wise than the TG.

I did some measuring last night and it looks like it may fit, I'll post pic's if it works. If it doesn't guess I'll end up sending it back. But it would be nice to have something to store small items in instead of having them bounce around in the trunk.

I'm hoping it fits. Every time I open mine I wish I had something there to hold gloves ect...

Yes please keep us posted on this one! And, thanks for your efforts.

Just received a Saddleman (Part# 3516-0151) today and it did just fit on lid. Was able to move my "must have" junk from trunk floor. Only done a local errand run, seems ok so far, but time and a real trip will tell.

That's good to hear, I just received an e-mail stating that mine won't ship out until 4/27/15 so it'll probably be 3 weeks or more before I see it. It'll be nice to be able to store smaller items in; gloves, glasses, paperwork, cell phone, etc...

Sorry to hear about the delay for yours, picked them up (2ea 1 for Wife's TriGlide) from J&P $41.99ea. Looking at your location should be there before better riding weather. We are in Southern Ca with year round great weather.

Hey guys, Could I request you post some PICs? I know I am being a pain; but, it would be great to see......

Can you give us the J & P Catalog number? The only one that came up on their website was a Kuryakan one for $53.00.

Thanks,

Sunman

J&P number is 691-330, also searching by using saddlemen number 3516-0151 also gets you to the same page. Best yet here is the direct link http://www.jpcycles.com/product/691-330

Looks good! Now I have to order one. Should solve the problem of all the small things bouncing around in the trunk.

That's good to see, now I don't have to worry about mine not fitting when I receive it.
Guess I should have ordered from J&P and not directly from Saddleman, shorter wait.
thanks for posting the pic.

I want a beverage warmer/cooler and a nut massager...

I like that lid organizer, just have to be careful not to drop the lid and have the stuff in the organizer get smashed/broken if coming into contact with full trunk!

 

[Red59]

and a nut massager...!

Isn't that what the ole lady is for when riding two up?

organizer for freewheeler

Check with Bob Schoonover.

Followup on Saddleman (Part# 3516-0151), as mentioned back on 4/8 did install it on my freewheeler and my wife's Tri, cleaned all surfaces, applied tape with temperature in the low 70's low humidity, didn't attached pouch until after 48 hours to let glue set, etc etc. Both worked great until just recently, several rides with temps near 100 and over, and higher then normal humidity for CA. A week ago opened wife trunk at start of another trip to have it fall off, then 2nd day into the trip same thing happened to mine. Occurring within 3 months of install not good.

Both are sitting on the shelf, while reviewing non glue methods (and other vendor options) for storage of small items on both bikes, less of an issue on the tri with the top trunk.

Hope others have better results then we did.

My organizer did the same thing. Where I live is pretty hot and the second day mine fell off. After it fell off a couple of times I replaced the Velcro with some super industrial strength Velcro I bought at Walmart and for four months now it has stayed on.

I usually use gorlia glue with the loop fasteners. Never had a problem. The red 3m double sided tape will also work. Add pressure to keep it secure and let it cure over night. Heat helps for it to stay stuck good.

I have kuryakyn on my street glide it is too wide to fit.

I know this is an old thread .... but just wanted to say that if you have a trunk rack the rack bolts would hold this in place if the organizer could be drilled in the bolt locations and you used some large fender washers.

I bought industrial strength Velcro for mine, but the organizer wouldn't stick to it until Jerry AKA Gold Rush stitched the outer edges of the organizer to the Velcro. He used a tiny drill bit with a Dremel tool to make holes then used an upholstery needle and nylon thread, which I believe was fishing line.

It has stayed in place and is very handy. :cloud9:

I have a luggage rack on my Freewheeler. I got this Saddleman organizer and I will have to punch holes in corners where the bolts hold the luggage rack on, but should hold the organizer on securely I also got the pair of trunk liners. They fit in great.
