Here is a shot of my new bike i picked up a few weeks ago. learning to get use to it has been a pleasure.

 

Nice !!!
One of the biggest mistakes in Harley's history was discontinuing the FXR.

They shoulf have em now. CVO, 110" . . .

 

Thanks for the compliment. Unsure as to why it was discontinued also. Not knowing the ins and outs of the differant models, what made the FXR a good bike that the line should have continued? I'm new to the Harley world and at the present time, wouldn't know one model from the next as far as comfort or ride, handling , etc. thanks, Mark

 

Yeah, I see people rave about the FXR all the time. Is the FXD not an improvement to the line?
And nice ride, Mark.

FXR (From Wiki...) FXDSE2
The FXR Super Glide II was introduced in 1982 and sold alongside the existing FX models. The FXR chassis was essentially an FLT Tour Glide chassis with lighter frame tubes and a more conventional design around the steering head.[7] As such, it offered a rubber-mounted engine and a five-speed transmission, as opposed to the solid mounting and four-speed transmission of the original FX chassis.[7]

The FXR range was expanded in 1984 by the introduction of the FXRT Sport Glide, a Super Glide variant with a fairing and saddlebags, and the FXRS Low Glide, which was the FXR equivalent of the FXSB Low Rider. Upon the discontinuation of the corresponding FX-based models, the FXR Super Glide II became the FXR Super Glide and the FXRS Low Glide became the FXRS Low Rider. The Wide Glide was discontinued because the FXR frame was not suitable for the wide forks. [7]

 

Good looking scoot. My guess is that the Dyna frame may be cheaper to produce than the FXR frame was. I've always love the looks of the FXRs, though --- I always wanted an FXRS-Sp.

 

Nice bike. My goal is to get an FXR before it is too late.

 

Thanks for the compliment, Mark

 

That's a sweet looking bike you have also. hope you find your FXR also. Mark
