Hey Scotty, Nice Bike! The Headline "86 FXR" caught my eye! On a closer look, I see a Twin Cam motor? Somebody put a lot of work into that Bike! Is the top open to the Belt Primary? You failed to mention the Thunder Header Exhaust? I've never seen one before, like that, Evo frame, & Twin Cam motor, I think it's Great! Any problem registering a Bike with Motor vin, different from Frame vin?

Did you notice the 25 "Generic Welcomes", only 2 mentioned your name! I guess they have a "Robo Welcome Thing"? A Real Harley Guy would have stopped & really checked out your Bike, But, most don't even Know or care, what you ride or Built! There's a "clique here", you agree or get shut out! Be Safe, BJ

Thanks Jim, I'm pretty new to the whole scene as I said, I do know it does have twin cam and I figured it was a gutted factory exhaust because the thing is hella loud. As for Registration on the bike I just acted dumb and said it needed some things and was factory as far as I knew. Btw do you know if that tank is custom or factory? I've noticed everyone else has garages and two tanks.
And again thanks for actually having a interest in my bike.
