FXR build questions
#11
I don't know anything about fixing a deep scratch but since you're rebuilding a FXR, I happened to pick up the March edition of Cycle Source at Barnes and Noble today. The whole issue is dedicated to the FXR. I have absolutely no use for it. If you can PM me with your address, I'll mail it to you. If they don't let you send pm's yet, leave your email or something and I'll get it to you.
I should have looked through it to realize it was the FXR issue before I bought it. Maybe you can get some ideas out of it.

Welcome Stevo .
Im wondering how those deep gouges got there in the first place .?
You say the bike is titled as salvage so i would first check out the front end and frame for possible bent stuff !!! I seriously advise you to do this before you worry about the cosmetics.

Stevo -
I've got an '84 FXRT, and in my humble opinion, the 35MM fork legs flex too much for my liking. I'm looking for a complete 39MM front end from a Sportster or Dyna. The stem/trees are a bolt in, and w/some decent fork spring and a fork brace, it will greatly stiffen my bike's front end.
