Default get rid of it as fast as you can

the blue ones are all bad. you need a special part to make it work. I will do you a favor and take it off your hands. you need a new dyna with a computer on board. trust me this bike will drink gas and it is old and the neighbors will never approve. get out quick while you can.

Here is my current FXR... below is a pic back in the early 90's, bought the 87 new, was my first HD. Pulled the scoot out of the 'house' after a long winter in Yellowknife NWT.

A lot of FXR riders, it use to be the best secret, but, more people are catching on as to how the FXR handles. I perfer the FXRT with the fairing and hard bags. And of course the raido.
