On any four speed frame it would be fine, but I can't see doin' that to an FXR. But, it not my bike.

this build was just for fun 99% spare parts laying around front end was already stretched so I raked the frame it rides smooth and straight no steering problems I will admit its way to much motor twist the throttle and the back tire brakes loose at 60 mph im probably going to tear it apart this summer and put it back on the shelf

I like it. IMHO I never liked the looks of a stock FXR. You improved it.
