Default I bought it

1986 FXRS. 7209 Miles, old man owned, sat a long time and the kids got it tuned up and sold it. Needs some minor TLC and maybe paint, but I road it home 50 miles like a champ.

Congrats, Larry! Looks pretty darn good to me!

At only 7209 miles, it's barely broken in!

Take care of the needed TLC and enjoy it!

Well done. Really like the color Scheme. Is that a 4 spd?

No, that’s an early 5 speed. All FXRs were 5 speed.
