I may be slow, but where are the FXR enthusiasts?

 

I've got a 1990 version i bought recently...

They're all out riding! There are a few on here and always welcome.

 

One of the problems with FXR's is that in the eighties they were one of the favorite bikes to modify/chop. Not all of the jobs were quality, so the frames went bye-bye. We still come accross a butchered one from time to time. We were looking for one to do at a reasonable price and ended up buying an after market FXR frame.

 

i think because there smaller than the customs or other big harleys. i was always told they were more like a sporty with the big engine.

 

thats the way mine acts....

like a sporty on steroids!

it handles as good as and is almost as "flickable" as my 75 Ironhead but with 98.6 HP @ 5500 RPM and 111.5 ft/lbs TQ @ 3400 RPM on tap it makes for some BIG smiles when you twist that right grip

 

We are still here. I own a 1985 FXRC. It is almost completely original. It is a numbered bike (840 out of 1074). The color is different than any other bike. It is Burnt Orange with a brown seat. Not the normal black. I love this bike. I am the second owner. I have owed it over 15 years. Always have got me home.

 

I ended up switching frames after an accident went to a paucho. Still have the old frame with title (althought salvaged title) the frame was fine, only way to get my bike back was with the salvaged title. Oh well. Love my FXR.

 

Right here man, right here....

 

Like Graham said: we're all out riding, not polishing like some of the twin-cam riders.
