ya all suck!
the more I look at the FXRs in here the more I want one again!
Since '80 I had 2 Sportys, 3 Shovels, 3 Evo and a Twinkie FXD, but I miss my '92 FXRS the most .
I think I got my ol' lady convinced that she needs to step up to the FXD and I'll find me an old FXRS, FXRT or FXRP to play with.

 

Yes we suck.....but we suck in style!

 

yes we do sounds like your on your way to having another one tho

 

Yeah I like my 87 FXLR good luck on your search.

 

yup. I love no BS, no frills, good handling, hard running, fast stopping kinda bikes. "Staff car" style. I put over 50K on my FXRS from Sept of '91 to Nov of '94.
I think it would be awesome to have 3 generations of FX in my stable.
I love my Shovel and I'll never get rid of it (my son would disown me), but it does better around town and back roads. 60-65 is her sweet spot.
The Twinkie FXD will run 80-85 all day long just like EVO, but doesn't handle as well as FXR in the tight stuff.
Wifie like the Twinkie, so thats all the exuse I need

 

There's a FXR out there for you...........everything else is a 'lesser' bike...

 

Sonny Barger had (has?) an FXRT. Read his book, _Hell's Angel_. It is interesting, from a "watch the accident happen" standpoint if nothing else.

 

 

What are you looking for in a FXR ? My brother in law in considering selling his '84 custom pro street FXR. HOK custom paint, Donnie Smith stretched the frame and tank, Kendall Johnson engine, Dellorto carb. It's very nice ;-).

 

I'll be looking for stock or one with few mods, but nothing exotic ....
I like them "plain Jane" looking, but with good suspension, brakes and maybe stage 1 or 2 kind of mods. And luggage.
My Shovelhead is a bar hopper, I'm building another race bike, so I need something for open road.
