Not much, just replaced the shift linkage with a better one that doesn't have the cheesy press fit joints. It'll be mid 50's tomorrow, mid 60's Tuesday so I'll be riding at least one of those days. Tuesday's 60's will also be bringing rain.

Well as of today I am soon to be the proud owner of a set of Vance and Hines Power Duals. I’ll be running them off Cobra 6300s. I hope it adds a bit more umf and sound.
whilst online shopping I’ve also purchased a full black engine cover set, a Memphis shades batwing fairing, and a load of Kuryakyn bits and bobs.
Id have got some new bars but I’m too indecisive. And I can’t find any tail lights that fit exactly that I like. In the U.K. there is far less available light wise.
Anyway that’s me broke. Once it’s all fitted I’ll try and add a pic or two. Time to find more cash to add a stage 2 kit.
Finishing up with a few upgrades to the wife's Freewheeler.
Woods 222 cam's/SE oil pump and cam plate, AdvanBlack Lowers, Passing lamps (pre '14 model), Cool Flo Fan, Custom Heated Seat and today, the final pieces of the Native 180 front end arrive. Excited to complete this and get it out and have some fun..... Like I said, Its all for the wife!!!
I will certainly post up pics when completed!!!
Sure. My late husband was always coming home with a new knife, gun, clay pigeon thrower, etc. for me.Originally Posted by FreeJoe

I've seen other pics of passenger backrests that have side support and I'm looking something that will work with the HD Freewheeler sissy bar. Can anybody provide a source? I searched Dennis Kirk and Revzilla and didn't find anything. Thanks!

I had a Tourrest Backrest by Hood Leather Goods but I have just discovered that this company has gone out of business. Maybe someone on the Freewheeler forum has one they want to sell. Google Tour Rest back rest and you will probably find some that are similar. My wife loved the one we had.

I found a couple of photos of the Tour Rest passenger backrest that I had for my FW. I believe Saddlemans and maybe Cobra make a similar one. As I said my wife loved it and felt more secure.

Won't be riding here again until after we get a little rain. We had about a quarter inch of snow, everybody's heads exploded, schools were closed and there's salt / sand on the main roads.

Thanks. I lived in Virginia while going to school at Dam Neck, near Virginia Beach & an inch of snow shut the town down.

It was fantastic riding again & my Freewheeler ran great after sitting for a record amount of weeks.
I felt like I just got a new ride & physically, I felt great too! Hurry up spring.

I know Damn Neck well. My sister lives over that way, off of Dam Neck Road between General Booth Blvd. and the Navy Base as a matter of fact. My BIL did 20 in the Navy.
Good to hear that you got out there and enjoyed it. Days getting longer, daily average temps slowly rising, many miles ahead of ya.After checking tire pressure & my electrical system, I went about 25 miles, stopped & filled up & got a sub sandwich for dinner.

Something strange happen when I started my FW today. It started right up, but the digital display flashed fob battery low, or something to that effect.
I have never seen that before & didn't even know it did that. Anyone else seen that before?

Can't say because i got mine (2015) in July 2019 But i always have one in my tool bag.
Good to know it'll tell me when it get low.
Mine showed NO Fob once, the fob battery was dead

strip of led light
I added a LED light strip 49 inch long. It has running light, turn signals, and brake light. Its made for trucks and has the typical trailer type connecter. Its not plug and play but it has only three wires to connect.. I spliced them to the bikes wire leads running to the back of the bike. They are self adhesive light strip. Its nice and bright and legal hopefully people will stay back from me. When I learn to post pictures I will show it off.
