Just got my first Harley. 1988 FXRP I want to Change just a few things, and when it comes to used parts, do newer bike parts fit on an older one like this? I'm just trying to learn about this so please excuse my green pea question

 

Congrats on the bike. What are you looking to change?

 

Some newer parts will fit up till about 98 dyna. Some. However it's a Harley so anything that you want to make work is not that far off

 

 

Chris, welcome to HDF from the UK. You need to be pretty specific about what you have in mind. Parts as late as 2008 can be retro-fitted, but we ain't about to start a definitive database - that will take us forever!

 

Welcome from Texas. What are you trying to fit?

 

Congrats and Welcome from sunny Southern California

 

I'm not totally sure on everything as of yet. But want to just do a couple things but not go totally crazy. I was going to change the wheels , but I'm really starting to like the classic spoke look, so maybe a spoke back wheel, chrome rotors to start. It seems to handle fine, but the forks are original and are worn, so not sure what or how to finish them. Also part that the gauges mount in is the kind of black textured metal,and not sure if there's much that could be done with that. I'd prefer to see if I could go with used parts if possible, to help with cost. Thanks so much for the direction
