Permanently installed NOS pad and pouch finally. Got the right shoulder bolts for the large foot pegs along with some triangle marked bolts that were on it originally. Infasco is the manufacturer of them. Also found that the labels on the front calipers were not right so I got them too. I closely look at all the pictures and part numbers I can find to try to determine how the FXS came from the factory.
Have not been doing anything on the FXS lately. I saw this interesting picture so I thought I would show it. AMF, an era gone by. An emblem on the end of the seats pulled from the IBM Country club bowling alleys before they tore it down in Endicott NY. The pin spotters are a complicated piece of machinery that AMF also made and designed.
@Ken45 Did your year come with the seat strap? I noticed it on some of the originals you were shown. My 83 FXSB had one I took off and don't use, it's yours FREE if you like, new condition.
Me and Willie at TROG, he liked my shirt and wanted to know where I got it.
American Motherf**ker
Meet him in Rapid City at the big HD pavillion in 1990. I asked to borrow a quarter and showed him how easy it was to bypass the ignition switch on the new FRX sitting there. Every new bike from then on came with the back of the switch epoxy encapsulated.
AMF received awards for its manufacturing contributions in WWll. They have an interesting history that ended in a hostile take over.
The old AMF bowling pin factory is in Lowville, NY a small cow town in the Northern sticks part of NY. I went through the factory for Jr High Wood shop class trip, probably 1977.
its still produces pins, whole different company now AMF went under 1985 or so.
