My name is Tony. I recently acquired a 1991 FXRP with custom paint and a few other features. My father loved the bike. He rode me on his Suzuki back in the 70's when a baby in diapers on the gas tank would not immediately result in an arrest and gross parental negligence problem.
When I saw the excitement in his eyes, I sent the bike with Pop to his rural Georgia home. I'm in Florida. Therefore I am picking up my "new" stone cold blue FXR2 next Saturday the 23rd. I am stoked and intend to keep this bike as close to original as I can (save the below questions). Will post pics as they become available.
Q1. What is a good seat to put on the bike? A badlander comes on it. If there are any problems with it, what is recommended? I am thinking of a corbin youngguns and maybe a fastguns. Any comments? I will primarily ride on rural country roads for an hour or so at a time during good weather.
Q2. The rear wheel appears slotted but otherwise solid chrome (right)? I havent taken delivery of the bike nor have I laid eyes on it beside in pics. Therefore I am going on what I have researched. I like the rear wheel but the front spokes are not as exciting as a chrome mag, maybe with 5 points to it. Any comments or suggestions?
