We got my wife's FW used, it had several accessories from the previous owner. Windshield, tool bag, passenger backrest, luggage rack. The dealer threw in a rear bumper as part of the deal. We added a few cosmetic pieces: derby cover, air cleaner trim and front axle nut covers.

2015 Freewheeler, so far I’be got a detachable windshield, detachable backrest and a rear bumper. This spring I’ I’m looking at getting Sreaming Eagle Street Cannons as well as trying to improve visibility with LED headlights and LED auxiliary lamps (if I can find some that will fit the Freewheeler).

Hey GTK, where did you get your LED lamps from (both head and running)? Been having problems finding H-D lamps to fit my Freewheeler, it may be a Canadian thing. If they’re aftermarket, I’m o.k. with that

I changed the seat to the H-D Sundowner. It's more comfortable but it raises the rider up. I had a 16 inch windscreen installed when I bought the FreeWheeler and with the stock seat, the windscreen was at the proper level. Since adding the new seat, I am above the windscreen. Also added was the passenger backrest, to which I added an aftermarket armrest to keep my wife more comfortable while riding as a passenger. And the airwing luggage rack with an aftermarket led brake light. Stage 1 engine upgrade, new slip-on muffler, Screaming Eagle air filter and a tuner pack up grade.

Forget all the lipstick. First thing I did was replace front fender with a Street Glide fender. Looks way better than the fatboy fender. Next I am going to put the tri glide rear fenders on and get rid of those ugly bobbed looking things. The boyz at HD say's they wont fit but careful surveying measuring and remeasuring they certainly can and will fit. Yes I have to drill 2 holes per side. If you park a glide and a freewheeler side by side and look closely at the rear body they are the same. at least the 16's are. After I get that accomplished I will be foucusing on getting rid of the cheap fat boy headlight and the garbage that surrounds it and go with a road king nacelle. Perhaps because the rake is slightly different than the road king I might have to go with one that is for raked sleds. If the dinks at MoCo would have put the FW on a road King or Street Glide platform with full rear fenders then they might have had something. For the life of me I cant understand the fatboy platform.

does the freewheeler come with a LOW seat?

our 2018 has a low seat on it, but it sat on the dealers lot for many many moons.

just wondering.

supposed to go riding with a buddy with a TriGlide next week, and test fit their (regular?) seat on the FW.

tried a REACH seat, but it is too far forward. like annoyingly forward.
