What Did You Do To Your Freewheeler Today?

85° and sunny in South Jersey. Just got back from a 70 mile lunch ride. Was SUPPOSED to be in freakin' Virginia. But no. North East weathers dropping 25° tonight with a maybe high of 62. Then it gets better. Rain for the next 5 days. So I'm amusing myself by sitting in my tent out back and complaining.

I took possession of a 2024 10 days ago, so far I've installed a 16" windshield, engine bar, SE Elite air filter, Rinehart slip ons, luggage rack, sissy bar with the small pad. A 6 outlet fuse panel under the seat to accommodate a GPS, 2 heated vest, and power in the trunk, and the Daylong Saddle from my 08 Ultra ended up being the same pan, or at least it fit perfect. Thinking after heated grips, I'll be good for a while. Have 400 miles on it so far, really like it, plan to run the wheels of it!

Nice ride! I'm liking that color.

Going forward I am going to use a Fuse block rather than running multiple wires straight to the battery. Cleaner, easier to work on.

Enjoy your New Ride!

LOL, HD likes it when we are test mules for a blank canvas

Hey, when you’re the only game in town, you can get away a lot of stuff. I think Polaris missed the boat big time by not keeping the victory line and lessening the Ness father and son asinine designs..(IE’ The Emperor has no clothes)And not making a Trike. I don’t know how The Indian line is doing but I never see any on the road. ..I had a Victory I miss that bike (Gunner)..But I had to get off two wheels..
 
The Lindby 1702 guard was previously on my 2015 Street Glide. I installed it on my 2019 Freewheeler last year shortly after I purchased the FLRT from an slightly older than myself gentleman in Florida.

The FLRT had the factory floorboards, pedals and such which I changed to the currently displayed Slipstream covers and pedals. Heck, the previous owner only put 106 miles on it during his ownership.

Anyway, a couple of days ago, after experiencing slight discomfort in my legs due to arthritis...the gift that keeps on giving...I decided to finally add the highway pegs that had been sitting dormant in a closet in the detached garage.

Hopefully today...this being Myrtle Beach Bike Week and a majority of the yard work completed, I will have the chance to see if the pegs help. I know there will be those that will say the Lindby guard has an area for the feet....I was simply never comfortable during my years of riding the SGS to use it as such. :)

What keeps that peg from rotating?
 
What keeps that peg from rotating?

If referring to the 1 1/2" clamps...there are 2 allen-drive bolts that screw into the threaded inserts of opposing half allowing the two halves to become one. I used some blue loctite and also wrapped the Magnumbar with one wrap of 3M double sided extreme tape so the clamps should remain fixed for a very long time, no slippage/rotation anticipated. Pegs can be rotated up....and adjusted/angled to the rider's preferred position. Per listing chrome plated CNC aluminum. I used the term anticipated rather than expected. Afterall, expectations are nothing more than premeditated resentments. I hope this answers your question, JT.
 
Put new rear tires on got 30K out of the stock ones and they were getting down there and starting to show cracks between the treads. Went with Yokohama Avid Ascend LX. very pleased, they ride great.

Also installed S&S aluminum intake manifold, replacing the stock plastic one.
 
Installed the DK Custom LED Headlamp Bulb replacement (drop in H4) into the 17 FW this morning. A pretty simple install ... all the trim rings and the headlamp itself have tabs which are easily relined with cutouts in the bucket. Just pay attention to the retaining clip orientation when you remove it. Performance is literally Night & Day. Thanks to the guys and gals at DKIMG_0144.jpegIMG_0139.jpegIMG_9398.jpeg
 
Harley Davidson Race Into Summer party today. Food, drinks, music and a ton of bikes. Ordered these HD chrome levers for the 17FW. Should be in a couple of days. Almost “done” …IMG_0176.jpeg
