Dyna or FXR-I Should Mind My Own Business
 

This add showed up Saturday morning in the Road Glide section of EBay:

Well any FXR add interests me so I openend it only to see a Dyna in the photo.

Thought I'd be a nice guy to the Yamaha dealer selling it so I dropped him a note to say that he really should post the bike as a Dyna, not an FXR. I added that except for a couple of custom year models in '99, the FXR was built from '82-'94.

Got a note back thanking me for helping out and that sure enough, the bike should be listed as an FXR 2 (!) The salesman further tells me that he double checked NADA to verify.

Now I'm interested. I write back specifying the tell-tale differences in the bikes, the engine differences, ( there were no 96" FXR's,) the primary is different, the frame is different, etc, etc.

Got back another reply. Thanked me again, and sure enough I was right, and the problem was that they posted the wrong pic for the bike and that they'd take care of it.

So I guess if anyone wants a 'like new' 2011 FXR 2 with 2,000 miles on it, Surdyke Yamaha can set you right up.

I should learn to mind my own business....

Yeah, eBay is flooded with Dynas posted as FXR's . I have given up even searching for used FXR's unless I specifically include the model year . :/

I bought my (barely) used 2007 FXD last year from a Harley dealer and they listed it as an FXR. It was a good sized (now under new name and ownership) dealership in central Oregon. I guess good ad help is hard to find, but they were great people to deal with. The mislisting didn't matter to me.

Surdyke is also a HD dealer - cheap parts too.

I know, and a sponsor here too.

It was the Yamaha store, but I figured someone would have caught it.

Found it curious that they wouldn't have sold it at the Harley store to begin with.
