Of course there are a lot of variables, but using only your limited supplied information, I'd say the 80 in. FXR is probably the best deal. Having said that, personally, I am partial to the 74 in. FLH (see sig pic). I'd try to get them to come down a little on the FLH. None of what I've said means anything if the engines, tranny, electrics, etc. are shot or need rebuilt. You'll just have to check them out before you buy. Hope this helps.

The Shovel will get more attention...The FXR has a more bulletproof drivetrain...all depends on what you want...me I would get the Shovel.

Well since I own a Twincam and an Evo FXR I guess I would have to add the Shovel to the collection.
