As for the bugs...though I AM grinning from ear to ear, shouldn't be an issue IF I remember to put my face shield down! 
What have I been up to on my 2015 Freewheeler...
well it's been a year since purchasing and over the winter, I had ABC Harley Dealership, in Waterford, Michigan...during storage there I had some fun adding 4" Rhinehardt pipes, (awesome sound), front passing lights, yes, found a solution to use a Road King light bar (without any modifications ,adding 4 1/2" chrome buckets w/LED lights... I had already added the detachable windshield...later adding touring luggage rack and adding third light insert. I added on heated grips,
I added on the sundowner seat, probably a mistake as I have yet to figure out how to improve the rear suspension over rough road conditions, yes even after adding on, onboard air ride pump to find the sweet spot when riding. The onboard air pump lacks a gauge to monitor or even know where the shock position is. I have tried an Airhawk cushion, no luck, Michigan roads are not kind to motorcycles in general, but a 3 point trike absorbs a lot more shock in my opinion.*
I added a lot more Chrome accessories too... Finally, an HD. Sound system that you plug into your IPhone, however since then added a Bluetooth receiver, so a wired connection is not necessary.*
To give a one of a kind look, this last month, Dr. Ru, a world renowned pin stripper, was given "Carte Blanc" to do his magic. I couldn't be anymore pleased. Take a look at the photos... Pure genius...

Congrats!! They are fun. I just got the Black Quartz 2016. I had the windshield you are talking about and it was kind of flimsy. I ended up buying a Freedom Shields replacement. The 18" or 20" are more fitting. The people over there are very good to work with. Good luck!
Freewheeler power
HI, after logging my first 1,000 on my new Freewheeler, my main observation (complaint) is the lack of power. I'm not looking for a crotch rocket or drag bike, but I think mine is de-tuned to the point I can't keep up with most passenger cars. I know it's not about power, but I'm thinking I'm going to have to invest in new exhaust and cams to get more oomph.
anyone else have this observation?
My only other issue is the ride... here in Illinois are roads are terrible... I upped the system pressure, but it still jars my teeth...
Other than these little PITA issues, I love my new toy!
Thanks

Took delivery today of a 2016, Black Quartz. I'm happy and excited...took it out for a spin this afternoon in the business park behind where I live, and a parking lot for practice. I live in a very congested area, so have to work on confidence to get out there, into the traffic and the world beyond.
So far: windshield, windshield pouch, bumper, rack, sissy bar and pad, Vance & Hines slip-ons, heat deflectors; I think that's it for now. I may upgrade the seat eventually. I'm sure there'll be more.
I only have one cell pic after delivery but will take more over the weekend and post soon.
I have scoured these threads over the past days, and am very grateful to have access to so much info.
Love the color choice Steph ( I got the same one
) Your confidence will be gained quickly. I lost my confidence for 2 wheels after over 30 years of riding and I turned to the Freewheeler a week ago. Best decision I made. Enjoy the hell out of it....pure fun!!
I suggest you take it back to the dealer as fast as you can.
