A ton - the FXR and the FXD have completely different frames, though they're similar in dimension.
If you look at "my garage" - the pics of my FXRT are similar to what a stock FXRP would have looked like.

The FXR was solely an EVO engine, if I'm not mistaken - newer Dynas (FXDs) came in EVO and TwinCam configurations. Why don't you share a little more about the bikes you're looking at?

And do what with the sign?

We shouldn't be hijacking this thread though. Sorry to the OP.

The FXRP is a Police spec bike, so may have features not on a normal model. The FXD is a normal model. As 1984_FXRT explained, the frames are quite different, the FXR being replaced by the FXD. Earliest FXRs were shovels, otherwise most were Evos. FXDs are still in production, so while early ones had Evos, they also come with Twincam 88s and 96s.

The more you tell us, the more we can help! Why do you ask?

Unless it's a former police bike that has been flogged, buy the FXRP. Superior handling.

But yeah...... Tell us more.
