Thank you for the add... : - )

I look forward to conversing with other trike owners... I have been riding for 41+ years but on 2 wheels only. My previous bike was a 2019 Harley Davidson Heritage Classic 114. I hated selling that bike. But I had to make a change due to my back injury. So, here I am on my first trike. A 2020 Harley Davidson Freewheeler. I am in the process of accessorizing it. As I am sure many of you have heard, owning a Harley Davidson is a down payment on accessories. But that is what makes it fun. Right?

No doubt my first test ride was an adventure... the dealer had the bars adjusted way too far forward and the mirror arm mounts in such a position that I could barely see behind me. But I trudged along getting a feel for this new ride. I quickly learned the push/pull approach with the handlebars and that I had to stay in the middle of the my lane due to the wide rear end. But I got through it and ended my ride with a smile. It was something new and I liked it.

I am interested in learning more about better shocks for my trike. When I purchased the trike and rode it home roughly 35 miles, the ride was not too bad. I decided to crank the shocks up to max. All I can say is WOW! That damn trike bounced around like a rubber ball! LOL

I have yet to take my wife for a ride as I want to break the engine in first... but I know she is going to be much happier with our new trike due to the stability.

Any hoot... take care... : - )

Richard, Welcome to Trike Talk from West Virginia.:wave4:

 

[LadyonaMission]

Rich, welcome aboard. Nice trike.

 

[Fearless]

You landed in the right place

Welcome to the forum from Western Pennsylvania lower tire pressure will certainly help. I have run my rear tires as low as 20 Lbs. The long term fix is good shocks it's a shame Harley doesn't proscribe to them in the beginning. I chose Pro Action trike shocks they make a world of improvement. Stop by often great people around here willing to help with questions or issues should any arise. :Coffee: Ride safe Fred/Jeanne

thanks... I like Harley Davidson of Sacramento. unfortunately, they did not have the trike I wanted. I actually purchased my new trike from Ironsteed HD in Vacaville from Alan Casner, who is the sales manager. a FANTASTIC person.

others have said the same thing... I will give it a shot. thank you : - )

 

[Rusty1]

no doubt... there are only 4 color options for the 2020 Freewheeler. I liked the Silver Denim but was leery of that paint as I have read many complaints about its maintenance and long term quality. I am toning this Harley orange down with accessories. it has grown on me. not many trikes available in my Sacramento area. I had to go a ways out of town to buy this one : - )
