Well, I almost did, but the guy selling it is a friend, and at the time, he was freaking out because his business was slow.....Now, you couldn't give him enough for it.....or so he says..........

Any out there???

How many do you want, Ebay and Craigs list are loaded with them, 5-7.5K..and very few sell.

My guess is that the bike has had the **** run out of it

I agree, too much work done and too many miles, find yourself a low mileage garage queen.

I'm 6'3" and they are too small, kind of like a sporty.

If I were looking for an FXR, I'd look hard at this one. It's in Maine. I do not know this seller.
92 FXRS-SP one owner, low mileage, $5K.

Yeah that is one of those annoying times when you buy something knowing you are just gonna sit on it till your friend recovers and buys it back for what he sold it to you.

I just bought a 98 Road King as a second ride. It's got low mileage but its beat up a bit. You won't regret it!

Most are in life and on CL, but I did say look at not necessarily buy.
But it is a 92, supposedly original owner, relatively low miles. SP edition with the upgrades ( anti-dive forks, dual disk, tach, higher seat height ) over a straight FXR. Some of the original parts. I don't know this bike or the person selling it, but I have some knowledge about FXRs. I'd look at it if I were looking for an FXR and posted it as an example of what is on the market, albeit in Maine.
But, as always, you got to separate the wheat from the chaff.
