Had an FXRT ( civilian version ) was a great blend of handling / weight and storage / wind management

They are very popular, we have 5 different incarnations in the shop now. 1 Shovel, 3 Evos and 1 Twin Cam. Check the usual items and ride it care free. Evo's will run a long time with minimum attention.

Depending on which way you want to go with it, there are a few businesses catering to the FXR crowd like JD Customs, Elvis' Place and FXR Division.

What do you all think. Save or unload?
Save it!

I rebuilt an '84 FXRP that had been through a flood with about 30,000 miles. It has an EVO not a Shovel engine and it runs really strong. I did put a S and S carb on it which really made a big difference. I'd say rebuild your FXRP and I think you'll enjoy it for many years. gregjo1948
