Free Bird, I have a question concerning the SS brake lines you mentioned. Is Doc's HD making those for you or someone else locally? The reason I mention this is I would like to change my Freewheeler over to stainless steel lines, eventually and don't know of anyone making them for the Freewheeler.Originally Posted by Free Bird
Yes.... everywhere I go it is the same....
I have to put the stock wheels and tires back on to get the dyno work done....

The Company is Magnum. They are also the ones who make them for Drag Specialties (ref Jack's post). I have new bars so I needed extended ones. But they make stock ones as well for everything that shows except the neck mounted reservoir to the foot brake master.

The fenders are spectacular.

Just ordered some darker shades ... gonna need them when you unveil this Bad Boy (or girl ... or whatever is PC nowadays)
A question just surfaced in my mind ... might have been addressed, but, I don't remember ... is the whole trike getting new paint? I'm assuming yes.
WOWThat looks GREAT

Yes... the concept is something like this.... (Except the fabricator for the springer bailed on me. Perhaps I will add tht next year... I just want to ride at this point)
Jeff, I was at Doc's HD getting a minor problem corrected on my FW. The service dept. was swamped on a non-rainy Saturday & everyone was ogling your wide tired Freewheeler up on the lift. The service manager, Tim, was giving tours.

Yes, they do that from time to time. I think they are as anxious as I am to see it completed. I want to get some wind in my hair and bugs in my teeth and they want to Instagram some pics of "Doc's CVO"Jeff, I was at Doc's HD getting a minor problem corrected on my FW.

The gang at Doc's have been GREAT through all of this. I really appreciate their help and their techs. This build has been a real collaboration.
Getting closer.....
Here are a couple of pics from "Final Assembly" (The windshield was just on to make sure I had clearance for a couple of the goodies I put on the riser clamp cover and nacelle.... it will come off except for wife passenger rides...).... I likes Apes!!!!
Will you lose the option for a windshield when you get the Springer Front End? If so, do you suspect it will affect you and your passengers comfort much?

I will likely fab a set of brackets to use to mount a springer windshield to it for my wife that is detachable like the glide front end. Something like this
I may have to add your Metzeler 888 tire back to my Freewheeler front tire short list.
I really like the way that tread pattern looks. I would think its excellent at channeling water.

Believe it or not, even the wide tires were not bad on that point. They shed water well at lower speeds. But that said, I have not really pushed the envelope on hydroplaning characteristics and I am sure there are issues if I went looking for them. I got caught in a gully washer in Forest Park Last Fall and took 40 home... white knuckles? yes. Control issues? no
Too bad the springer fell thorough ... there is still lots to keep the eyes moving ...
