Fender Bra's for the Freewheeler

[dannymax]

I do remember that this was discussed a few years ago on this forum, before I bought the ones I have. Someone claimed they did just that.

I saw a Freewheeler not long after that with the Tri Glide bras on it, they were saggy on the top part of the fender where it dips down to the bob tail. I would not have been happy with them on my trike.

Thanks Lola, I was looking at that fender dip and thought it would be a problem area.

Here's a 'no holes' option, (2) 12" x 13" sheets of TechSpec, snake skin, tank grip, trim & stick.

Thick, very durable stuff, too thick to roll around the rounded edge of the fender but seems acceptable,

better'n nuttin', that's for sure.

If you are happy, I am happy for you.

Thanks, I'd have to say that I'm pretty happy.

Could you tell me where you got that stuff from?

I have the same fender bras Lola has. I put them on right after getting my FW. I had the same problem PKplus10 described with the bra arching at the bottom. The directions said to pull it tight. I guess I pulled it too tight. I put a piece of black electrical tape on the fender under the bra. You have to look real close to notice it.

I wish I had put something on the area between the body and the fender because that's where I got a paint chip!

Fender protection

I had xpel paint protection film installed by professional shop. He covered entire fenders, front fender, front of fuel tank and also where my pants would rub on the tank, covered side covers and inside area (where my wife kicks the snot out of the fenders), headlight and turn signals. My only mistake was waiting one year from purchase of trike so i had some stone chips. Cost $500. He will cover entire body if you want it done. It cost more because he had to make a computer cad for it because i was the first Freewheeler he did. In the n.e. section of Pa. Penndot tars and chips road surface without warnings. The film is clear, cleans with anything you want to use, i typically use bug tar remover and it shines.

I ordered rear fender chaps and the front fender bra from Frank's yesterday for my wife's Freewheeler.

There is a shop near me that does window tinting, and a friend had the clear film applied to his Tri.

Good luck

I received the front fender bra and rear fender chaps from Frank's today and got them on tonight. Look good. Quality leather. Better pics to come.

Frank's rear fender bra

They go to the bottom and wrap under the front and and sides of the fender. Velcro strips attach to the bike and tabs on the chaps then secure them to the bike.

Easy one man job with patience. https://www.franksleatherproducts.com/copy-of-rear-fender-bibs

Been looking for a front fender bra. Ordered one today for the SGS fender on my Freewheeler

Franks fender bra

Mike, I see from your pics how they attach to front and outside of the fender. Do you have pics of how they attach to the inboard side?

The adhesive backed Velcro strips align with Velcro tabs on the bibs.

Thanks, that's what I thought. How was the installation?

Thanks, that's what I thought. How was the installation?

Installation is easy if you take your time and be patient. The included instructions are very good. The front fender bra requires removal of the fender which is easy. I enlisted the help of my wife for that one. She held the fender while I did the work.

They stay put and are holding up well. They have been through heat, cold and heavy rain and speeds up to 100 mph. Clean-up well and easy to maintain.

Any paint issues?

Any paint issues?

None, unless you count no more rock chips to the unprotected fenders. :laugh:

Thank you sir, I'll get 'em ordered.
