85 FXRS I don't ride it as much as I should but every time I do I I'm glad I still have it.
The Ole Lady said I could get a new one if I sold it.
Got the new one five years ago,,,

Thanks fxrskrsa

frontiercat I had the top end redone by Grant over at Chopperplace in Riverside CA, he painted it when he did it.
I would recommend him for any engine work.
I asked him to make it fast, to do what ever he would do if it was his.
He hooked it up.

Yep, but only as a last resort. He know's what our FXR stuff is worth and his prices reflect that. I've made a couple of purchases from him and the parts were good, but the shipping was a killer.

Default Just bought an FXR

I live near Carson City NV, just bought an original '91 FXR, its a "convertible" with the factory detachable windshield and bags. It is a real survivor, never been bobbed, chopped, or hot rodded. It has forward controls but all the original parts were saved. It has a lot of miles on it (69K) but you would never guess that looking at it. It also has those wierd buckhorn bars that take some getting used to.

I'm moving from a 08 Roadglide to this. The roadglide was a great bike but I no longer do any long distance touring and decided I would rather have a lighter easier to handle bike for the short rides I do nowadays (I turn 65 next week).

So what is the model designation....FXRC or is it FXRS? The seller says its S for sport, since it has original dual disc brakes.

Looking forward to owning, riding, and learning all about this old girl, plan to leave her pretty much as is.

Steve
