Hi all,
I got my Freewheeler this March, and LOVE IT! I hadn't ridden two wheels for a few years, so it wasn't a difficult transition for me. The pic is the day I rode it home, helmet hair and all! Really glad I stumbled onto this Trike Talk forum, it's very helpful to read what others are going through.
My steering damper failed and leaked out all the fluid before my 1,000 mile service. Did anyone else have a problem with steering damper? It's covered under warranty, which is great because it's a $600 part! I was still able to ride, although the front end was squirrely.
At the 1,000 mile service, I did part of the Stage 1 upgrade, with new air cleaner, and the download for adjusting the richness of the fuel, to try to help with right leg heat. I didn't change the pipes in an effort to save money, but it sounds so stock right now, that it will probably be the next upgrade. Not sure which brand...
I got a windshield for freeway riding, and it really helps from getting buffeted around (I'm 5'4"). But I love the look of it so much without the shield that I usually ride without it.
Hoping to change the 'trike' stigma, and show the 2-wheel world what a super cool motorcycle the Freewheeler is!!!!! Always glad to get the wave and a nod from the 2 wheelers!
