doh!!!!!

 

Indeed. Some of us old timers know what we have.

 

86 FXR had a belt drive. Yeah, you missed out on that one.

 

I thought it was belt drive also, like my 86 wg ,just a different tranny. You missed a good deal...

 

If you look real close at the picture, just ahead of the saddlebag, you can actually see the chain sprocket. From the research I did at least some of the 86' FXR Super Glides must have come with a chain drive. I originally thought it might have been changed over but I found several factory literature pics that clearly showed a chain drive, one was even enclosed. Oh well winters almost here and I was going to have to find a place to store it anyway. Mike

 

Now is the time to buy. With Christmas coming, some are in need of cash and good deals are to be had.....

 

Bummer you missed it Bro, but they're out there, you'll find one. You guys see great prices on them as well, which is why I bought mine from the mid-west. You do need to jump on a good price though. BTW, I thought 84 was the last year of chain driven FXR's? If that one had a chain, he may have reverted back. Some do that to fit a wider tire, others do it for wheelies.

 

there's a 83 on chop cult if you'd take a shovel fxr
