In the future it would be best to start a thread of your own rather than resurrecting such an old one.
And welcome to EVO land.

Handles like my old sporty, cruises like my wide glide,which by the way handles great just throwing that in because I read on the forums so many times that wg look good but don't handle not true , I am no expert on fxr's just got mine , but what a fun bike all the hyp is true, before I bought mine I went and looked at one from Kaplan cycles her in ct, talked with ken Kaplan who by the way is a class act, he said even if u don't buy this one do your self a favor and buy an Fxr, they are like big dirt bikes lol!

My FXLR handles like a sport bike, and what other Harley can you do wheelies with.

Cleaned up my '88 after several years of sitting yesterday. Going in to my Indy on Monday for a carb clean/tune. Can't wait to get her on the road again...
