My father-in-law has the same bike, even the same color, except the tour pack is the same color as the rest.

Excellent choice for a touring bike!

Nice bike.....looked alot like the 1984 FXRT I use to have. It was about the same color as well, but with a different emblem on the tank. My only complaints on the one I had.....was the enclosed drive chain and the ugly air cleaner cover that was used on later model Shovels.

Just bought a 86 FXRP. My first Harley. Froze my a$$ off riding yesterday, but it was worth every second!

One of my sons has a 1987 FXR. Goes like a raped ape. He hasn't been riding much as he is in the Army (Ft. Hood - 4th ID) and preparing to deploy.

Finally put my windshield on this morning, 32 degrees leaving the house. Going to suck riding home in the dark.
