So I've been looking for a pre 1978 iron head sportser for a project but have had no luck! Came across this 82 fxrs , I haven't seen it in person yet , but guy said it has been sitting for years , squirted carb cleaner in it and it fired up and sounds good. I was thinking I would offer 1500$ for if it looks ok . Opinions?

 

Looks like it had a very hard life...but I would jump on that like stink on a **** pile...I have paid alot more for alot less!!!

 

I'd buy it....But I already have an '82 FXR.

 

go for it!

 

I'd buy that. Clean title? Numbers match? Yes? Where's my trailer?
In some ways I wish that I had found one in that condition ( and price ), rather than my current 83. But, I do love my 83, so no complaints here.
Good luck!

Still Not a Basket...Close

 

Well, maybe a couple more parts would be cool - lol.
For me anyway. You definitely have easy access to everything on that bike Racepres!

 

Yea...I'm really givin it the once over...LOL
Wasn't even lucky enough to get the Mids!!!!!
This may be a Minute!!!!! or two...maybe three!!!

 

I think mid controls are still available from V-twin
Or the group FXRs of Californi on facebook, tehy pop up all the time

 

So did you purchase? I'd love to find something like that around here. Great price.
