What Did You Do To Your Freewheeler Today?

[Tucci]

Rode

Finally sunny 70 in n.e. Pa. 140 mile round trip with wife out for dinner. Puttin along two lane back roads through Mennonite/Amish country, dodging horse droppings on road. First ride with red line 58204 (pepto bismal) in tranny. Downshifted smoother and didnt have the distinctive harley sound of a 10" adjustable wrench being dropped in an empty steel bucket.

I have never ordered from J&P Cycles. I ordered yesterday & got an e-mail today saying my items shipped. Very good so far.

Good deal, you are 1 state over from their main store in Anamosa Iowa, that should be pretty darn good service

If they have what I need in stock I ride to their Daytona store 80 miles I can be there in 59 minutes

I just tracked it and delivery is scheduled for tomorrow. I'm glad they used UPS. For some reason when I get stuff shipped to me via USPS, it takes 2 days after it arrives in St. Louis for me to get it. I guess so many employees need to touch it.

Changed my oil and filter, used all Harley products.

New front brake pads

EBC Double HH Sintered

They look pretty much the same as what I took out

Cool Jack, If you don't mind me asking, where did you find the best place to purchase the EBC pads & how much was left on the old ones?

I got them from Dennis Kirk, Check J&P for pricing also

There was about 1/4 left

I have NEVER liked H D brakes

Just got back from breaking them in, they stop better than HD pads and do NOT squeak

My wife has a cousin that works @ Dennis Kirk

When we lived in MN I rode up to Dennis Kirk pretty often

If and when you do your front brakes, DONT forget to pump the rear brakes a couple times before riding Remember they are LINKED

Just an update:

I received my J&P Cycles order today that I placed on Easter Sunday morning. I got an extended shifter peg (black) for the toe shifter & an extended heel shift lever. The parts look great.

Thanks Jack! The quality looks great & the 1/4" hex key wrench was a nice touch.

It's still damp, dreary & raining here in STL. I will take some pics of the stock & extended arms & pegs prior to installation.

I am really hoping this fixes my minor shifting complaints.

Good to read you got some good weather (and are enjoying the RL).

Passing lamps aer on

Next step was to install the passing lamps. A special thanks to Gerard ( GTK )

for his help and encouragement. They are not wired in yet...leaving that for the dealer so as not

to screw up the warranty

Looks good Dante.Now you will be more noticeable to oncoming traffic. Install some LED's off e-bay for a wallet friendly price and the oncoming traffic will really notice you.

I bought a pair from DK Custom Products, a Trike Talk sponsor, for my Freewheeler. They can also be mounted on the floorboards.

I'm sitting through my 2nd day of steady rain, waiting to venture outside, maybe tomorrow.

I have new shifter parts to try out.

 

[Jack Klarich]

Washed and re oiled my air filter

I dunno why I waste time checking the Redline in my tranny, it has never migrated a drop

I may ride to J&P Friday just for grins

 

[MDO]

I waited for a break in the rain & headed to the garage to install my extended heel shifter & extended toe shift ped.

Very easy & exactley what I wanted. I can use the entire floorboard, slide my foot back & upshift & the new toe shiftpeg lets me downshift without moving my foot over & searching for the peg. I took side by side pics to show the differences. I also like the fact that on the new heel shift arm, the retaining screw installs from the top, which makes thinks easier. I loc-tited everything
