Great looking bike and am sure you will have lots of fun making it your own as you customize it to fit you. There are lots of guys on here with lots more knowledge than I who will be able to help you. Good luck!
You are from San Miguel el Alto, Jalisco? Bienvenido.
That engine is called an Evolution...originally 80 cubic inch or 1340 cc. It is a strong engine and easy to work on.
That bike has had many modifications from stock.
Yes I'm from there , do u know the town?
So it's an "Evo" ? That was one of the answers I was needing, tnx por la bienbenida
welcome, that is the convertible.. i almost got the 98... like cajun said there is a lot of guys here that can help with your questions, so stick around and learn from them and get yourself a manual for the bike
The connectors are for the "roll off" switch for cruise control. Someone used throttle cables intended for a bike with cruise. As someone mentioned the missing hose is for a vent line. It's run open but points up then 180s and points back down to keep water out. The piece hanging above the intake manifold is the voes (vacuum operated electric switch) which changes timing based on vacuum. As long as it's hooked up properly it can just be zip tied to something.
It's hard to tell from the pics, but it looks like the rear fender is not from a FXDS. If it is, it will have a threaded insert on both sides near the bottom for securing the saddlebags. The saddlebag mounts on the rear fender struts are missing, the turn signal location, front and rear isn't stock. The dual disc front brakes came standard. The quick detachable windshield mounts aren't on the front forks. The tank doesn't appear to be stock either. Coil cover is missing. Is it a salvage title? It appears to be pieced together for lack of a better term. Looks like the frame has been repainted, as does the engine. If it runs good, drives good, and you're happy with it, with a little work cosmetically it should be a good bike for you.
My FXDS is the best bike I've ever owned. Get yourself a model year specific service manual and enjoy.
Now that you notice it, I guess u r right with the painted frame, how can u tell? Is t the finish or paint where should'n be or something?
Tnx man, yours looks awesome too, actually, did you bend the licence plate holder or is an aftermarket accesori or it's just the angle of the pic? It looks nice, also looking at your pic remaind me that I need a horn too.
