Looks fantastic. That rear rack looks unusually long though.

That's a sweet bike. Do yourself a favor now and get rid of those spark plug bridge covers. The allens that hold them on overtime won't want to come out and you will have to pry the damn thing off.

That's clean. Where did you finally find the decal?

Real tempting to just leave it bone stock. Anymore, stock is custom, so to speak, especially on a bike pushing 30.

Awesome find! keep everything to return to stock, museum piece one day.

I agree with you on the buckhorn bars.

I believe that the basic FXR (VIN code "EA") came with a single front disc as well. The convertible, sport, and police bikes all had the dual discs with 2" longer forks. I think they made a FXRS that year (VIN code "EB"); it may have had a dual disc set up as well, but don't quote me on that.

those r just held on my the plug wires. I know what ur talking about though! Lol
eharley didn't have the decal but must have emailed some of the last buyers to see if that still had it and one guy who didn't use it sold it to me. Probably the last one on earth!

i rode it today. I hate to say it but I'm modding it alittle. 2 into 1 exhaust. Taller seat foam single seat. And some risers and Mx bars.
I'll just stash away the stock parts. I can imagine it with another cam. Runs so good now. It's no gsxr but for a Harley it's impressive
