Coming back to H-D after a dozen or so Beemer Airhead years. Owned a shovel FXRS, an '85 Lo Glide, '86 FXRD, '88 FXRS, and a '90 FXRT. Did a total down to the ground and back up custom job on the FXRD and sold it for more than I had in it. This was back when dealers were charging premiums for all stock new big twins. Now I'd love to have any of those bikes back, and I'm looking for a narrow glide '88-'93, preferably without the chrome & black running gear, but I'm not too fussy about that.
Whoever said once you ride an FXR you'll be disappointed with other Harleys, in an earlier post, was spot on. I traded the Low Glide in on a new '90 Fat Boy, which lasted about a week because it handled like a pig, and I sold it and bought the FXRT.
FXRs rule.

Other H-D riders will never catch on.....
'91 FXRT.....113" S&S
'92 FXRS Lowrider.....tweaked 80"
Nice to see so many connoisseurs of Harleys 'finest'.....
Once you've thrown a leg over one of these....everything else is a 'lesser' bike.......carry the torch with pride!

1999 FXR2, first of the CVO's and the BEST! Bought it new and now have 67K miles on it. Have ridden to Laconia; Daytona; and Sturgis rallies mulitple times. Everyone tells me its the best bike HD ever built. Want a new CVO StreetGlide but will not give up the FXR. Mine is one of the red ones.
