There were not that Many made

Someone kinda "had their Way" with that FXR...but, it could be brought back!!!
Makes a great Hot Rod just like that tho...

83 FXR with a 93" motor, very nice combo. Looks clean and well kept up, none of the usual oil leaks. Bet that's a fun ride. Don't know the name but I run the same style seat on my 4sp frame shovel, been on her 30+ years. I like it, most passengers don't

Corbin quit making them years ago, they 'll still do one if you want to pay the price tag. Since Corbin's only about 70mi. from me I took a shovel to them back in the early 90's to have a seat made , half a day and $500 later I had my seat, regret ever letting that one go.

Gotcha ....I love the seat ..not the best looking seat to most but my pop had this before I was even born (29) so I grew up thinking this is how motorcycles should look...not taking anything from baggers and all 800 new brands Harley makes nowadays..I definitely like old school Harley’s to knew bikes but like I said knew bikes can be done very nice but not my style .....shovelhead till I’m dead

If that Bike was a 4-speed... someone did a pretty good job making it into an FXR!!!!!
Including the Early 5speed Harley Trans!!!
Buy the Bike...Not the Story

Not quite again... look at the underside... hinged [FXR Only] and even a handy place for the Latch... which I wish I had one also!!!

Now ... I can go place a 4-speed seat onto an FXR... and get a Picture... Apples and Potatoes!!!!
