New trike rider, old rider.

[2015FLRT]

Hello All,

I live in League City, Texas, a nice town half way between Galveston Island and Houston, along the ever under construction Gulf Freeway, I-45. I have ridden motorcycles since I was 15, and owned one continuously, except for 5 years I spent in Germany with the US Army. All my bikes have been two wheeled until I wrecked my blue 2006 Police Commemorative Road King in January of this year; some broken bones, nothing too serious. My wife of 38 years didn't want me to get another motorcycle, but we agreed on a Trike. I have a 2015 FLRT Freewheeler, black, (wish it was blue). I am completely retired now, most of my time spent with my three year old Great Grand Son. I was told that riding a trike would take some getting use to; I took to it like a duck to water, love riding it. I am currently looking for two things for the Freewheeler, rear fender bras, and auxiliary driving light mounting kit.

Wind Therapy is good for the soul.

Welcome to the forums from Middle Georgia John!

Appreciate the warm welcome.

Thank for the welcome. Had a little trouble with the trike, lost cruise control,and gear indicator (in odometer window). I worked a logic diagram and decided it was the clutch switch, but lacked the confidence to go purchase the switch (expensive) and in install it to see if I was right. I took it to the local HD dealer, San Jacinto HD, Pasadena Texas, and they fixed it in a few hours, it was the clutch switch. I think I will start trusting my diagnostic skills. I still can't find the fender bras I want. I think I'll purchase a set for a Tri Glide and modify the back end to clip over the back of the fender lip. The profile of the front of the fenders looks the same on the Tri Glides and the Freewheeler. Any opinions, or better options??
