What Did You Do To Your Freewheeler Today?

[PosseRider]

I got caught in the rain again today, it never fails after I just washed it

Added the final piece of "Live To Ride" bling to my wife's trike today. Timer cover.

That is relatively close to what I do. I give mine a bath 2-4 times a year. ( I do use some waterless wash on the ceramic now and then)

I just ride in so much rain. I did give it a wash and quasi polish about 3 weeks ago, and 2 days after that I rode in 150 miles of rain. All that work was covered up with a new layer of wet road grime.

I rode 189 miles, had a slight sprinkle for about 2 minutes. Then it got really hot, 98 degrees.

Took a trip to Kingsport TN. 1400 miles round trip. A bit chillier than I like and hit some rain around Richmond VA coming home, but that's what makes it interesting.

I bet your new fairing paid off on that trip, it looks good on your Freewheeler

Sure did! It was 55 degrees going through the mountains on the way back.

I rode 2,588 miles in the last week. I have had my Freewheeler for one fun filled year as of today.

Next stop 15K service.

I put real a license plate on my trike and it only took 3 1/2 months to get it from NJ DMV. No longer running an extended temporary tag from Delaware, with a NJ license and a VIN that was assigned to a Ford Pickup. Glad I didn't get pulled over when I was in TN and had to explain that one. I'm also liking the the number. I couldn't have picked anything more my style if I paid extra for it. EZPass is on the way here now too.

Nice day so I played hooky and took a long lunch ride. Stopped at an old friends house, a guy I've ridden Harleys together with for decades and related my recent trip to TN to him and said I had hit 4000 miles on my Freewheeler. He made a comment that didn't really hit me 'till I got home. He said he's got 5000 miles on his Can-Am Spyder. He's had it for 3 years. I've had the Freewheeler for 3 months.

Wow, congrats Lola. Guy I know from our H.O.G. Chapter did the ride around Texas (RAT) a couple weeks ago. That's a way to pile some serious miles on quickly.

Completed the RAT in 65 hrs!

I'm definitely not up for that!

Got rid of the orange reflectors on the front fork legs but then it made those orange turn signals stand out like a sore thumb. HD conveniently offers smoked turn signal lenses with orange bulbs that are DOT OK and made me happy. My last two bikes were Triumphs and I replaced the orange lenses with clear ones and clear LED bulbs that were DOT approved orange when lit. Clear lenses with orange bulbs look like egg yolks. Not a good look. A similar set up is available aftermarket for the Freewheeler as well, but I'm concerned the bulbs may throw an error code due to changes in the resistance. Really didn't want to have to deal with that, so got the HD bulb and lens set. Remarkably it didn't cost a hundred dollars A before and after pic shown. No big change, but I like subtle changes.

No worries with led bulbs with the can bus electrical system on the H D bikes. If you do get a DTC, clear it and it will not come back on

The reason for a DTC is the can bus system needs to re learn the voltage difference of the led bulb draw

Jack, I've been thinking about your comments (above) and remembered there was a thread about LED turn signal bulbs, but I can only find references to LED tail light bulbs, not front turn signal bulbs. Somebody had posted info on an LED bulb in the $10 range from Walmart, I believe it was and the part number, that worked with no issues. I would really like to get a clear LED bulb that blinks orange behind my new smoked turn signal lenses. Think it would look better when it was parked and do the job of signaling better than the standard bulbs. Would you recall that info?

What I do know is the Sylvania bulbs do not work, the barrel of the bulb does not fit far enuff into the socket

Installed a set of hard lowers from Hogworkz last evening.

The paint match is very good and the installation was easy.

Good quality product and much cheaper then OEM.

Delivery was 10 weeks.

Wow! The paint looks perfect. Looks like your trike came that way from the dealer.

It took me almost that long for me to get my handicapped plate from NJ-DMV and this was years before the COVID-19 B/S...And i already had the placard for the trike for a few years...I just wanted the plate cause even though i had a way to lock it to the bar, I always figured somebody would rip it off...Not to steal it but out of spite...You would be shocked that some people couldn't accept a trike/bike parked in a handicapped spot even with a placard..Some try to give me grief when with the plate...But my Dynamic Personality shuts them down .....But like my Old Man would always say to me...Bob he always called me Bob..Bob' Always leave them with a Smile..........

I am happy to see today with over 2k miles on my 21 Freewheeler I have very little oil and water goop in my catch can

Compared to my 17, this one is not spitting as bad
