you're gonna love that bike. I picked mine up 2 years ago with 6800 miles on it and immediately returned it back to stock condition. It's an incredibly sweet ride and my favorite for around town and light touring. PLEASE don't modify it too much. There are so few of these bikes out there and they deserve to be kept as close to stock as possible. There are plenty of other FXR's out there to hack up and "customize" that don't have the history of the FXR2
Congrats! I bought mine new in 1999 and still have it, will NEVER let it go. Great bike, one of the best frames ever made. I added a chrome 21" 80 spoke wheel and a Corbin saddle. By the way, noticed the chrome tank strip is missing the rubber trim that runs completely around the console. You might still be able to get it but parts are now extremely hard to obtain at Dealers. They only made 600 Arresting Red FXR2s and 300 Blue. I have NEVER EVER seen a Blue one anywhere and heard they were all exported overseas. Curious as to where you are located as I think I saw this bike for sale not long ago in Indiana.

Enjoy it. You made a smart purchase.
We have the same mind set. The bike as you see it is how I bought it. I have spent the last few days on the internet locating and buying all of the stock components.... handlebar, mount, mid controls, sissy bar assembly with side plates. It wasn't an easy task since most of the components are obsolete, however I have found them all. This is the first bike that I have ever owned where I did "reverse modification".
