rear grab handles
Wife just bought a 2016 freewheeler and would like to remove the rear passenger grab handles. Anyone done this?

Anyone make plugs for the holes or are we on our own?

Remove the seat, the handles are held in place by two bolts, take them out, remove tha handle and replace the two bolts back where they came from, reinstall the seat and your done.

I would much prefer the cork plugs that I have seen in some good rum bottles!

i think the trike would look better without them, but i use mine to push the bike around some when parked.

I really think everyone needs to read the OP's post. He is referring to a Freewheeler, not a TriGlide......
Just say'n

Don't know what difference that makes. My TG has the same passenger grab handles as a FW doesn't it?
Anyhow, don't want to hijack the thread, but have most of you taken the handles off? My wife doesn't like them.

they are different on the freewheeler. it looks to me that you could install some chrome button head allen bolts in the holes or maybe use the black torx bolts that hold the windshields on the touring bikes if you don't like the chrome. find some push in black plastic plugs at the hardware store.
