I've been looking at putting a Springer front end on my 85 FXRS low glide. but it appears that all the springers available are Wide Glide, which mine isn't. Am i missing something or just not looking in the right place?
i want to put it on for aestetic's. i have another Ultra for long distance cruising.
Any ideas or direction i should go.??

 

Aestetically, it's going to stand out like a diamond in a goat's ***. A springer front end isn't going to look good on a FXR. It's as out of place as a sissy bar on a sport bike.

 

Well i'm glad for your opinion. not that i care.

 

I had a new 1985 FXRS. Putting a different front end on it, aside from how bad it will look, will ruin the singularly redeeming quality of that bike, aside from that it was an Evo, and that is how well they ride and handle.

 

 

Lots of companies making narrow springers these days, just stay away from DNA or find a used factory springer from an 84-99 FXSTC

 

Just don't~ Why ruin an FXRS just sell it and buy a springer Softail.

 

Really?

Who doesn't like a diamond in a goat's ***?
