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.

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.
