Default fxrp?

The vin checks as a 1984 fxrp. So does the title. I looked on that fxr site and saw that the 84 fxrp has a belt drive. Mine has an enclosed chain like the fxrt. Any thoughts?

They switched to BELT DRIVE in 1984 1/2, so you have an earlier one.

My 84 FLT has that enclosed chain system. Works good, lasts a long time, chain rarely needs adjustement, Lube it once and forget it. It was a great system until some dude perfected the belt. Tire changes take a little longer.

Bummer about the pics, I really love seeing those early Evo's.

Thanks. Now that all the police gear is gone I guess it's an fxr. Any other differences to other fxr's ie: engine or trans?
