I put the same one on my '21 Jack, works really well.

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave in a well-preserved body, but to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting...Holy Sh!t What a ride!
After 3 months of waiting my spark plug fin set arrived from HD today. Easy install and I think it makes the 114 Milwaukee Eight motor look complete on the left side.
Original area around spark plugs
With spark plug fins installed
Ordered ComfortZoneRide floorboard mount highway pegs and polished it up for Thursday's ride-it is going to be close to 70 degrees here that day. Average is 48 so we are being spoiled. Of course we're in a severe drought so it's not good, but..........
Got the floorboard extenders from DK yesterday and it was too nice not to put them on today, despite supposedly being working. Very clear instructions and easy installation. I haven't had it out on the road yet, but just sitting on it I can already feel the difference. It's amazing what 1" can do. Thank you LadyOnAMission for the tip and the link and DK Customs for a nice product and quick shipping.
And I can fold both sides up all the way now, should I have a need to do that. Never could before.
Cold today in north Texas but yesterday it went up to 78. Five of us drove to Tishomingo Oklahoma for lunch. Ended up putting 261 miles on Freewheeler. Great day.
Haven't disturbed the '21 Freewheeler since Christmas Day and FINALLY caught a break in the ice and snow in Jersey and got a 66 degree day with sunshine. Closed up shop and put 50 miles on. Feels like it's been forever. Might last another day or two, but the weather people lie so not holding my breath. One thing I was curious about, other than trying out the DK floorboard extensions which worked out great, was if the spark plug fins actually did anything except fill in that gap by the plugs. Stuck my finger tip on them when I got back and they were damn hot! So got to figure that they're actually drawing heat away from the cylinders with the rest of the fins and are at least a minor aid in cooling. Guess we'll see.
The temp in New York was 55 yesterday and 39 today. I'm glad I was able to go for a short 40 mile ride yesterday. It was great. I hope the warmer temps are coming soon.
Sunny and in the 50s today, a big change from Saturday with snow and temps in the teens. I got the breeze in my beard.

Today it is up to 68 degrees in north central Pennsylvania!
I had to take my bike to the dealer first...I had no rear brakes. After bleeding of the system I'm ready to roll. I took the scenic route home.

While getting my brakes serviced (at no charge), I spent some money for our trikes. Black for mine, the scripted for my wife's.
