1986 FXRS New to me
Though I've already said hello in the introduction pages, I thought I would post here too!
On August 17th, I will be the proud owner of a COMPLETELY STOCK 1986 FXRS (Lowrider). A friend of mine has decided he is too old to ride. Due to his health issues and self realization, he gave me a deal I can't pass up. What is even more amazing is that he has done nothing to the bike over the past 33 years other than routine maintenance. It has absolutely NO aftermarket parts and the engine is completely stock.
I promised him two things when he agreed to the deal.
1) I would not flip the bike (super awesome deal!)
2) I would ride it!
Since this is my first HD (ridden Victory, Honda and Ural for the last 27 years), I am looking forward to this bike! If there was ever a HD I've been interested in, an early EVO FXR is certainly it!
Though I will certainly ride it, it will be kept stock and I hope go to "vintage" shows with a completely stock mid '80s HD.
I don't have any questions or issues since I haven't yet brought her home!

Congratulations... Nice Score...
I don't need a picture as I know exactly what a bone stock 1986 FXR looks like...Close friend has a stock '87 I been trying to talk him out of for quite some time..
IMO they don't need much...except to watch that POS clutch Hub!!!

Congrats. I owned and rode a 92 FXR for 26 years. The fellow to whom I sold the bike when he came by to look at it he was riding an 86 FXRS! It's a wonderful bike and the best handling big Harley ever made.
