Passing Lamps for Freewheeler

[Dante221]

Hello All

Well I did it...got the last 2018 Red Freewheeler at my dealer...

gonna be hard to sleep tonight.

I really want a passing lamp / turn signal bracket assembly

but I don't see it listed on the accessories pages.

Some have used Road King set ups but Not sure my dealer can

or will do this.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated

I used a RK light bar and aftermarket passing lamps with LED's.Turn signals stayed in original position.

Thanks Guys!!!

Heading to the dealership tomorrow with these pictures.

Many thanks!

Oh well...

So I'm back from the dealership and no one there could tell me

if the Road King or the Tri- Glide passing lamp set ups will

work without major modification to the Freewheeler. :blush:

I guess I will put this on the back burner for now...

the hunt continues !

GTK :may I ask...

Would you happen to have the part numbers for that Road King light bar assembly?

Did you have to modify the headlight nacelle ?

Sorry to bother you but that looks really nice!

Thanks

Dante,

That's a shame your putting that mod off. Its one of the easiest upgrades to do. HD light bar part #68712-94A fits Freewheeler perfectly. Order a set of passing lamp buckets with LED's off e-bay. Wire passing lamps into headlamp bucket and splice into low beam yellow wire so passing lamps are on with low beam and off with high beam. This is the simpliest way to wire it.I may change mine at a later date utilizing stock factory harness in frt of gas tank (white 3 wire connector on both sides of tank) and run power to a on/off switch and then to h/lamp. Total dollars spent was about 100.00 and a hour or so timewise. If you can't do it yourself,maybe you can enlist help from a friend who has more knowledge.Again,a very simple upgrade and from a safety standpoint,oncoming vehicles can see you.

Any one set of passing lamp buckets with LED in particular? Thx

When you search on e-bay,put search under Harley Davidson auxiliary lamp buckets and you will bring up buckets with LED's ranging in price about 75.00 per set. I find these LED's to work fine because I am not interested in lamp lumens"how far lamp projects light beam"and more interested in how bright they are so oncoming traffic can see me.These fit the requirements perfect.I have bought these type LED's on last three bikes and never had one fail.Good bang for the buck.

Be carefull here.HD might deny warranty if something frazzles.HD does make lamps for the FW.They are standard on European models.The part numbers are in the parts manual and the dealer can order them.Check with Boardtracker but you'll need the pn(s). NOT cheap!$$$

 

[Dante221]

Oh Yes!

For sure , any wiring will be done by my dealer , especially with my

extended warranty at stake.

I might be crazy...but I'm not stupid

Found 2 styles of light bars with different mounting points/ Which one did you use?Thanks

 

[Saammi]

DUH, I think I finally understand. The light bar attaches to the same points as the windshield, right? Top light bar pic ?

Now you got it. It fits to the outside of w/shield bracket.If you do not use a w/shield,it still mounts to outside of grommets.Easier to install the light bar with the w/shield off the bike.
