It looks like the imageshack account of the OP has been shut down. I do know imageshack went from a free to a pay photo album site.

There isn't anything we can do about it unless the OP moves to another picture host or edits his post with the pictures uploaded to this site.

Follow the manual and you'll be fine, it's actually a pretty easy job.

got the job done .not a hard job with the right tools. now a question . My 2012 trike manual calls for 11.8 oz or 350cc of H.D type E hyd. fork oil Do any of You know if I use Screaming Eagle fork oil would I use the same amount of a lesser amount due to S.E. fork oil being for a stiffer ride?

Use the same amount, it's just going to ride a little stiffer. I've always just refilled with the oil called for.

Default 2016 triglide

Wanting to change lower fork slider and upper fork sliders to chrome. Harley book states that lowers are part number 4550020 and uppers are 4560022 that is all fine and said. But I look for spacers for my axle so they would be chrome and there's nothing for my trike. Also where do you drain the fork oil there is no place at all and how much do yo put in each fork

thank you

There is no drain on the 16's. You have to remove forks & turn upside down to drain.

Does anyone make 49MM Fork tubes for the Freewheeler? I am replacing the stock trees with a set of custom machined reversion trees that look more like a wide glide and am looking to go a little overstock length on the tubes. I am having problems finding them. Forks by Frank used to be the go to guy... not for these. Lil' help?

Here's my ride.....
