Before the Softail came out there were more parts for the FXR than any other machine. Now they are getting more scarce by the minute. You could try V-Twin, but remember they don't call him "Taiwan Ted" for nothing.

I had an FXR for years and I don't remember neck covers.

He's about an hour south of us. Use to be he had a lot of decent stuff, but lately if it wasn't a name brand then it was a crap shoot.

It's getting that way everywhere, John. Companies are buying cheaper trying to compete with others who do the same. And we the consumers are ultimately the losers in that approach to sales. Not just motorcycle parts - everything we buy in America.....

Not only that but the prices on some stuff is going up in leaps and bounds. Bikers choice had a set of floorboards for $149.00 retail in the 2009 catalog. I ordered them for a customer and when they came in, they cost me $159.00 and the retail now was $219.00. Try explaining that to a customer.....

I got chrome neck covers for my '84 FXRS about 6 yrs ago. I think they were from V-Twin. I used automotive door moulding on the (sharp) edges to protect tank paint and give it a finished look.
