Do you have a source and a part number for those? That looks exactly like what I want to get for mine.
Thanks!
Sorry, they are Linby Custom Multi-bars I had on my '08 Ultra. Took off the lowers in the summer and replaced them with these bars. When I sold the '08 and bought the '09 Tri-Glide I did the same thing. Traded the '09 Tri in for the '15 freewheeler. Got to looking and they fit it too. I did the same thing with wife's trikes until she bought the '14. Can't take the lowers off it, coolant is in there.
The windshield on my Free is a modified windshield from wife's '08 Deluxe. She didn't like it, so it hung from the rafters in our garage for 6 years. I had to machine the slots in the brackets, and cut the windshield down 4 inches, but looks good on the scoot.

I hate to be a pest, but do you happen to know the model number? They list a ton of different ones for Harley, and none of them specifically list the FLRT.

Gone But Never Forgotten
I had planned adding a link from the HD site but the site is down for now.
It has been very slow lately, maybe they are going to fix it.
They have a back rest mount for the free. It is the adjustable one that can be adjusted on the fly.
costly though. You can get the back rest that fits it.
The site only shows one.
here is the link

Your enhancements really add to the trike. I like it.

If anyone needs this setup, I have one I will sell. Just got the Mustang seat and it has the backrest built into the seat. I'll make you a good deal.
There isn't a bar for the FLRT, they were ordered for a 2008 Electra Glide Standard. They fit my '09 Tri-Glide and the 2015 Freewheeler. As I recall (it has been a year or 7, but I think I had to "re-engineer" the top bolt to fit he trikes. A tad bending the angle of the bracket and use a slightly longer bolt to accomodate the steering damper.
Let me start by saying nice work on the Free Wheeler! Then let me say that the best thing I ever bought for the comfort of my wife was a backrest by Tourest out of Milwaukee. I HATED the look, and when she wasn't on the bike it went back to a one up ride. That said, she loved it, could ride forever with it and therefore, I loved it. Before and after pics...
Now on the Tri-Glide...sure do miss that Softail tho...Note that the Backrest does not come with the Tourpak

My wife loves the Tourest backrest I put on the FW. She says it really improved the comfort. It is ugly though (IMO) and when she isn't riding it is off.
Nice looking Softail!

Windshield
Are there any other windshields that will work on the Freewheeler? How tall are you? I'm 5'11" and thinking I need the 20" one. Your bike looks great

I am 6' 1". Other posts that I have seen say a windshield for a Harley Heritage will fit but I haven't checked it out. With the 20" shield I was looking over the top about 2 - 3 inches and getting wind buffeting so I bought a Laminar Lip extension for the windshield. It did the job...no more buffeting. When more mfg. add windshields for the FW I may change it out but right now I am happy. Check it out at laminarlip.com; 714-540-8006. I ordered the one for a Road King.

Guy on Harley Forum just told me he swapped his RK shield to wifes FW. Said it fit great. Thanks for your help

The RK shield does fit but the opening around the headlight is larger than the FW shield. Lets a little more wind through but not a big deal.

If the Road King opening is too large Then the Softail should be the answer..jc
NO, the mounting brackets for the Softail have the mounting holes drilled in a different place, they are a couple of inches too close. The windshield I have in my Free was the one that came on wife's '09 Deluxe. It is drilled the same as a 'FX' softail. I know for sure they won't fit, tried neighbors, no go.
Hello all! I installed the Lindby Magnumbars on my FW myself. I little tough to get on, but have patience and remove a few items and you'll be happy with the results.

Hate to sound like a DA, but why put bars on a trike? Why not just some hiway pegs.
I put them on so I could put the fairing lowers on. Others for the look. Makes mounting highway pegs easier and gives lots of options too.
Perhaps I'm just stupid, but where exactly would you put your highway pegs if you didn't put a crash bar on it?
