Pipe is a bub boomcan bought on sale dennis kirk $100 with a stainless works tailpipe extension attached.big city thunder baffle inside.about $200.00 invested.flows very well.big improvement over 2-2 pipes that were on it
It started with the good ole' FXRT.....basic FXR with the touring package. They say it didn't sell well, but it was built from 1982-1992.
In 1989, the FXRS-CONV was built. This bike also left the line in 1992 as well. It was still a basic FXR with touring package, but with quick detachable hardware.
The FXR was going away and the FXD entered the picture. In 1993, the FXDS-CONV. was built. Same touring package as the FXRS-CONV. was, but was in the Dyna frame.
These bikes sold farily well, but had many quirks. The quirks were real as I did own a 1999 version.
The T-Sport was built.....more Sporty than the previous machines were. However, it was basically a sporty version of the previous machines.
None of these bikes sold like Harley wanted them to. The Electra Glide Sport sold well and the Roadking sold like crazy. People preferred the Roadking. It looked retro and still had a decent touring package. The Roadking had a similiar price as well.
I'll be damned. That's pretty cool man. I've been wanting to change my exhaust to something a little more understated. My bike came with V&H big radius 2-2's. Too "swoopy".
I dont know about anybody else but i keep waiting every year for moco to bring back the fxdx sport dyna. My local dealer says no chance in hell. But i have faith. I keep looking at older ones but my gut says wait it out for the bigger frame and motor and front end. Anybody have any insight to share??
Just buy a Fat Bob and upgrade/raise the suspension, or build your own. Mine started as a 2005 FXDC. I was trying to find a T-Sport but couldn't work out a deal on one that I wanted. Also, I wanted fuel injection.
My bags don't detach, but other than that I think it turned out perfect. I never take my bags off anyway.
Best model HD have made using the TC engine as far as I'm concerned. I decided to get one when the TC engine was announced. I liked the non-bling/lo-chrome look. I thought the extra power from the new engine would be useful but what really did it for me was the twins discs and rev counter as standard. These things really suit my riding style but gave me a basis to do what I want with it (basically just engine work).
I'd love a new carb'd 103 version with a 6 speed box - maybe that's where I'll go with it next via aftermarket parts.
If you've got one hang on to it - it's a future classic and because it didn't sell well it's rare. It's the natural successor to the XLCR - too sporty to sell and people didn't appreciate it 'til it was gone.
