If you look real close at the picture, just ahead of the saddlebag, you can actually see the chain sprocket. From the research I did at least some of the 86' FXR Super Glides must have come with a chain drive. I originally thought it might have been changed over but I found several factory literature pics that clearly showed a chain drive, one was even enclosed. Oh well winters almost here and I was going to have to find a place to store it anyway. Mike

Bummer you missed it Bro, but they're out there, you'll find one. You guys see great prices on them as well, which is why I bought mine from the mid-west. You do need to jump on a good price though. BTW, I thought 84 was the last year of chain driven FXR's? If that one had a chain, he may have reverted back. Some do that to fit a wider tire, others do it for wheelies.
