FXR4 Ya, I'll get rid of that scrap.
(if he'll take my $100 offer, no way will you beat me there, Ken.)

Normally you'd be right, Dale. Motorcycle build dates beginning with "20" are generally objectionable to me for a number of reasons... But for Don and Pam's FXR4 "scrap" iron, I'll make a rare exception...

Guess I'd better bring my big dumpster trailer... or maybe my custom, climate-controlled, fully padded "Trailer Queen" transporter... just to be sure I don't damage the "scrap" on the way back to Georgia!

Current Beer count: 8... and it's Gordon Biersch Marzen, dude... not some crappy mass-produced beer-flavored water... OOOOH!

DUDE! You'll be puking in a Canadian toilet by sun up! And I'll already be in Arkansas... with $200 in my hand for Don and Pam's FXR4 "scrap"! Thanks for playing, tho...

Default scrap fxr4

Gee for a bike that Harley made from spare parts, it sure is popular. So far I've been told that something is wrong because it has an Evo motor in it, and Harley didn't make a bike with an Evo after 1999. Then I'm told it must be a twin cam, but it doesn't look like a twin cam, and I find out Harley was just using up some old parts when they built the bike. Sounds like this bike has History. Guess I'd better keep it. Don and Pam

oh....
what you have is:
the best handling frame Harley ever built,
the most reliable motor Harley ever built (IMHO)
a great paint job
a Limited quantity built
upgraded brakes and suspension

Yes, a VERY nice ride.

there was an orange one in Winnipeg, Manitoba a couple years ago that I tried to arrange to get. Beautiful bike. Not sure who ended up with it.

Wouldn't want to cheat anyone out of their hard earned money. Don and Pam
Don't knock the FX frame...It's a bit more stable than the Softail frame when HP gets around 100...Less swing-arm flex with rear shocks mounted right below the seat....Plus the trans is closer to the engine..It's a win/win for stability!!!
