What Did You Do To Your Freewheeler Today?

[rhino 2]

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.

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......ThumbUp....

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

I just had my 1000 mile service at the dealer and they replaced my Oil Tank gaskit due to a leak. I was down almost a quart by the dipstick when I took it in. They had it for 3 days. HD Syn 3 in motorHD Formula+ in primaryHD Heavy Synthetic Gear Oil in transmission HD FilterHavent put much mileage on afterwards due to rain and cold. That sucks.

 

[Capt Jim]

Sorry about the spacing my bad.

Yup, my 60 FL leaded like a pig too

My tranny leaked so bad I ran straight STP in it for a year before I fixed the main seal

LOL! :laugh: Did the same in my '59, never did fix it. Bought the '78 Lowrider instead.

LOL, I sold my Pan to a buddy that was born in 1960, he twisted my arm for a year

I ended up with a 1980 FLH Trouble head , I had a new 92 FLHS on order and needed a bike for Sturgis

The FLH went bye bye when my FLHS came in

 

[Capt Jim]

I expected something I shouldn't have, I expected a 2021 Harley FLRT to not have any oil leaks. Hopefully there will be no other problems.

Replaced front tire Dealer said this was for a 2015 FREE WHEELER Dunlop D408 F- 19'' 130/60819 made in USA. had a Commando 2 on it had 14,000 miles on it they said

it still had good thread did need to replace it I said replace it any way.

Sure is a lot of difference on bumpy roads, It's a fatter tire, really happy. It cost a lot more thou.

Cleaning the insect life off the Freewheeler after a 100 mile ride around the environs of southern New Jersey on a relatively nice day. Listing to some music with a fresh Michelob Ultra and noticed a spring on the floor of the garage underneath the left floor board. WTF! Parking brake return spring fell off. I mean, how in the hell did it just fall off parked there? It wasn't on the floor when I started whipping the trike down and I don't activate it in the garage. Thinking this may be a part I should have on hand when I'm out and about. Easy enough to put back on. Can I just remove the entire assembly without throwing a light? I think putting it in gear would be just fine and eliminate the issue.

You will have to do something to the pb switch to not have a light stay on the speedo

Look @ # 24 here

Looks like a mechanical connection, so it seems to me that without the brake being there the system won't know any better. The light only comes on when I apply the parking brake, if it's not there it can't be applied or am I missing something?

I dunno, unplug that connection, see if the PB light is on, you will end up unplugging it if you remove the parking brake all together

I just received and installed my LED white/amber front turn signals. From https://paradiselightsllc.com/ Great service and great products. Ordered them Monday afternoon. I have them in all of our bikes. Can you see me know?

I'm not a fan of the heel shifter so I pulled it off and added the Heel/Toe Shifter Shaft Cover https://www.harley-davidson.com/us/en/shop/Heel-Toe-Shifter-Shaft-Cover/p/35471-05
