I owned my '91 FXR for seven years, wish I still had her. Rubber mounted motor and agreat handlingbike,(very nimble). Iadded ross racing pistons, crane cam, screamin eagle ignition, and a bunch of other goodies.
Here's what she looked like when I sold her.

The Dyna may have the "desired" Harley look.....
However, the FXR series were a blast to ride anywhere. In my opinion, an EVO powered FXR was the best line of bikes Harley ever manufactured. I honestly belive they should have kept the FXR lineup though.
Magazines loved the FXR, but riders didn't like the look because it didn't have that Harley look. So, Harley eventually came out with the Dyna series and also it being rubber mounted.
Ultimately, the Dyna frame was less expensive to manufacture and riders loved it. The FXR was gone for several years until 1999-2000 when they made the very last FXR series.
1984 FXRT was the best Harley I ever owned and rode!

I had a 1985 FXR and it was a great bike. Handled wonderfully, had the EVO motor, and was trouble free. The only thing I didn't like about it was the two tone silver gray and maroon paint. Golly it was ugly.

I had a 1992 FXRS-sp (Lowrider Sport) which was by far the best Harley that I have ever owned. I traded it for a 1997 FLHTC which was the worst Harley I had ever owned. Currently have a 1998 FXDL. It is nothing like the FXRS-sp. I don't believe I am going to keep it very long. It is mediocre at best, compared to the FXRS-sp.
