seeking fender bras that FIT the Freewheeler

[texbucky]

Does anyone out there know of a manufacturer where I can get a set of fender bras? I now have two gawdawful dings, down to the metal, on both fenders that could have been prevented if I had put fender bras on the trike. But I can not find anyone that makes them . HD only has them for the TriGlide.

Does any Freewheeler peeps out there have a source or suggestion? Thanks!

None that I know of. A few guys have made their own.

There is a company on the internet called Brasfortrikes.com. I don't know anything about them other than they have a great selection of bras for the Freewheeler and seem to be reasonably priced. As soon as I save some more money up, I think I'll try them out.

I suggest you repair the damage then cover all of the forward facing surfaces with 3M stone guard.

Another suggestion:
Many are having fenders "painted" w/color matched "LineX" or a contrasting color for a 2 tone effect. Seen one in contrast and made to look like flames flowing over the top of the fenders, very nice. Doing this would most likely cover the dings as the LineX material has some texture to it.

I suggest this as every vehicle I've ever seen with "bras" eventually has paint rub damage!

Let me understand this' Some people have some stone damage.. And so to make it look better they put on those God awful looking bras '
Which in time will damage the paint even more...

John1949 pointed it out. They claim that they are made for the FLRT. No first hand knowledge though.

Also try contacting See Through Braz to see what they have to offer. They do have a kit for the FLRT.

Yep, that's what I did. Way cheaper than paint

[SEE THROUGH BRAZ]

Seethroughbraz is a clear product, and unlike the others products, is printable and provides protection to your painted surfaces from rock dings and scuffs. It doesn't need a professional to apply it to your trike . It is easily applied and removed over time without heat. Depending on location of the dings, our product may be viable to cover up the damage and protect additional surfaces from damage.
If you do find a bras, similar to Triglide, we have found that our product protects your paint from additional damage due to the rubbing and scrapping of the bras on the paint. If you have additional questions give us a jingle.

Say what you want about the looks of the fender bra. Some like the look, others don't. Whatever floats your boat. I put a set of TriGlide fender bras on my wife's Freewheeler. They fit fine. To mount them, I removed the tail lights, pulled them snug, marked a place in the tail light base to match the hole in the tab, drilled a hole through the plastic and put a quarter sized star washer (to grab as much of the tab as I could) and secured them with a nut/washer.

The lights mounted just fine with the bra tab between the base and the light.

If you decide to install fender bras, I would highly recommend protective material (3M type adhesive clear tape or the see through bras mentioned earlier) under the fender bra. You'll have to get creative applying tape, especially along the edges of the bra. The bra will flap no matter how tight you pull them. If you don't add a protective layer, the bras will start eating into the paint on your first trip out.
