Jack, sorry to hear about the bike, people are so irresponsible these days.

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!
Yesterday when picking up the trike at the dealer’s the service manager pointed out a “scratch” on friend’s trike fender. It had been left overnight the day before. It got gouged and scraped BAD.. into the fiberglass. They denied it happened there but could not explain how that fresh, obvious, deep gouge was not noted on the incoming sheet by the service manager.
They were big about it though.. sent a little tube of touch-up paint home with it… yeah right people…. Paint ain’t going to fill in the missing fiberglass.
New course heading Mr. Sulu: ...2nd star to the right and straight on til morning...!!
Scooter and Sassi....2 furrever.
I’ve had a similar problem with another bike in the past.Now when I drop off my bike or car for service I take bunches of pictures with the cell phone showing the condition of the vehicle being sure to include enough in the background to show where it is.
Haven’t needed to prove the condition of my vehicle yet but I am ready if it comes up.

I led members of our HOG chapter on a ride to Kinzua Bridge State Park. Beautiful weather for an our hour tour. 7 riders of which 4 were trikes (I was the lone Freewheeler).

Found a sissy bar backrest combo on eBay for $150 so it was cheap enough to try. I only want it around in case I need it. Most times I don't ride anyone, but when the time comes a passenger back rest is a must on the Freewheeler or your going to lose somebody off the back. Just didn't want to pay HD $260 + another $120 for the pad. Other than having to chase the threads on one of the body bracket holes installation went well. I did swap out the stainless steel bolts for black that I picked up at Lowes and a couple of 7/8" black plugs for the mounting bracket holes. For the few times I'll ever use it I'm satisfied with this eBay combo.

I have 2 sissy bars, 1 with a pad and 1 with out
The only thing I do not like is the O rings, IMO it is a poor design

I bought the Scripted Harley gear shift linkage and installed it matching the exact length of the stock one. Took my 21 Freewheeler for a test ride and it still clunks when shifting. I did notice that there is one inch play when you move it back and forth before it goes into gear. It seems like that is a lot of free play, half inch forward and half inch backwards. It was the same for the stock setup. Does anyone have the same problem on yours? I apologize for bothering about this bit it is very frustrating.
Thanks for any help you can give.

Jim, the Harley transmission is a constant mesh, it is all but impossible to get all of the clunk out, you have to decide how much you can live with
Some heavier tranny fluid does help some, with hydraulic clutch bikes / trikes there is no clutch adjustment, this does not help the clunk either
Changing primary lube can help some also

I will probably go to a heavier primary when I change oil again. Do you have the same amount of play with the linkage? That seems like it is too much back and forth.
Thats probably true about voiding the warranty, LOL The play I have is 1/2 in forward and 1/2 in. reversed.
