I ride a 90 fxrs-sp, rode quite a few other models, just love the handling of the fxr line. The prices you quoted must be inflated for the cost to ship there, cause here in the states they don't go for that much, just surprised at the price difference. I've had no problems getting parts. Harleys for the most part are like small block chevies on early models. You can make it work, has been my experience. Again it kinda blows me away the $$$$ that they and probably all harleys command down under.
