I saw a black one too and it was sold as soon as ready. It is a Harley that is priced right at 24.5 and has cruise and reverse. For 1 person enough trunk room and all you add is a detach w/s.


I believe it will be a much bigger seller than the Tri Glide.

I went up to Woodlands HD north of Houston to take a look at on. They uncovered the new bikes at 10 am. When I go there at noon the 1 Freewheeler they got ahd already been sold, inspected, prepped and was off the lot. Have to wait till they get another.

It has a lot of customizing potential. One thing I personally disliked was the rear fenders, all I could think of was everything off the road/tires going right up the exposed sides of the trunk.
I wonder how long those tail light will last. I imagine them falling victim to road debris as well as the sides of the trunk.

They "might" be OK. They are mounted in an ABS type mold quite like on my FatBob and pretty protected by it, the whole unit is then mounted to the fender.
To me its the sides of the trunk and anyone behind you thats gonna take a beating. No way to mount mud flaps and would probably look bad with this style fender anyway.
The front fender is short also so lots of stuff is gonna hit the oil cooler. A small mud flap here would work.
Im hoping someone that has got a test ride and managed to run thru a wet area will post about how the fenders worked out.

I guess we will just have to wait and see. Hope this is not the case and everything will be fine. I suppose you can put chrome covers on them, to help protect them. And some body armor on the trunk.

Saw one at the Demo Rides at 4 Corners Rally. Cool looking and will definitely fill a niche for people who want a more slick stripped down look.

the Freewheeler doesn't come in blue and white, but the tri glide does is that what you were thinking?

I really like the concept of a stripped down trike and for the most part I like it. But I think they went a little too far by not including a windshield. If it was too hold the price down they went too cheap.
