I had an 87 FXR and it was unquestionably the best Harley I have ever owned. I was an total idiot forgetting ridit but thought I had to have a Dyna Wide Glide and looked forward to "making $4000 more than I paid for it" when I traded it in. I rode it 53,000 miles and the only repair it required was a stator.

Yavol miene brutter. '84 FXRS.
These are by far, the best handling bikes theCo ever built.
I love the thing even though i have the crossover year. Im actually putting an FLH front end on her. Still have the original 35mm though just in case...
