    No pulling but, again, very little stopping power.

    Frankenstein brakes:opinions on standard versus upgrade

    Definitely do the upgrade. 'Steined my '98 RK last year and did not upgrade. Rear brake will not stop the bike or even affect it. Will upgrade shortly. The kit itself is a great way to go trike. Rides and drives better than my Freewheeler.

    Recommendation for Using CarPlay w/out Sena on Half Helmet?

    First thing to do is ditch the half-helmet. If you're in a bad enough accident to rely on your helmet, you'll also want to have a face when you are done. Personal experience on this.

    Hiway pegs without installing crash bar?

    Oh, it was. I just wondered after the fact if the whole front end might fall off later.

    Hiway pegs without installing crash bar?

    Is there any problem caused by removing the crash bar? My steering damper is attached through it.

    The best fairing is no fairing. Get yourself a nice windshield.

    What Did You Do To Your Freewheeler Today?

    Half tint Inspired by the new Highway Kings from H-D, I half tinted my windshield in blue to match the body. Used Vvivid product intended for headlights. Easy application.

    Passenger Handle Trim

    My recently acquired FW is missing the "chrome" trim strips from the top of the passenger handles. Dealer says not sold separately from the handles themselves. Any ideas on what I could do to retrim this area without replacing the handles? Thanks.

    It's the end of the tour as we know it. Thoughts: The trike performed beautifully throughout. Plenty of power, comfortable seat, etc. We went around in 5 days and this would have been better stretched out by a day or two next time. In any event, here it is and thanks for reading and...
