1986 FXRS Lowrider Sport Edition, with the except of the exhaust pretty darn close to the way it came out of the factory. Less than 12,000 miles after the previous owner had it in storage for 12+ years. Thinking of selling... daily driver is an Ultra and I just don't ride this much.

TLMitchell...

If you don't mind just e~Mail me a photo I would enjoy seeing your bike...since it is an FXR that you have had since it was at the factory.....and since I can't see it here the way you posted it....would love to see it...

Regards,

This is my first post, so hello everyone. Im Sean and I reside in east Texas. This is my 89 FXRS. She's not very stock, but she is still a princess.

And my daughter loves FXR's too...this is her straping on my gloves for a ride.........no i did not take my 2.5 year old on a ride.....

Good to see some love for Harleys greatest line of cycles.

That's a sweet looking bike you got there, it's customized pretty similar to mine. It looks different in just about every pic, you must have had it for a while. I see you got rid of the ape hangers, I'm definitely not a fan of those. Where's the speedo though?

Haven't surfed through these photos in a while. Wow, some really nice FXR's. Justintyme, your paint job is awesome.

Speedo, no speedo. No gages, other than oil pressure mounted on the rear head, and oil temp measured in teh tank. I just go as fast as everyone else. Besides, I dont want to be looking away from the road, its one more think that breaks your focus on saftey.
Actually, its got apes now, so im back to the pain! And you are right, its different all the time. I have lots of spares, and get bored easily. Give me a link to yours on here....

happy_gopher... thats a slick bike... I like the look of the apes as well.. Id like to get a set on my FXR soon.

I guess this is my first post here as well. My name is Sam and Im from Tucson, AZ (soon we will be moving to Prescott Valley, AZ). My bike is a 84 FXR bored and stroked to 96 ci and rebuilt with all S&S Parts and Axtell angled pistons, wide glide front end with accutronix trees, custom built bars, and a few other mods
(as well as a few mods to come).

Some pics:

LowRiderCustom · 06-02-2008, 06:37 PM

Sam that's a cool looking bike, I like the custom bars. I bet it's pretty fast with the 96 ci S&S motor in it.

Happy Gopher here's some pics of my 94 FXLR. I bought it just the way you see it, the guy put a lot of money into it. All I have is a speedo with no dash lights. I should add an oil pressure gauge or a warning light, but I don't know how to do it. Any help on that would be appreciated.

First time to try and post pics, so we'll see if this works. This is my 93 FXRS-CONV. other than the new paint on stock tins, and the forward controls, it's pretty much stock. Got it at 26k from a dealer, and just had the top end redone at 46k. turns out it already had an Andrews cam in it, either ev27 or 28. i could've sworn my mechanic said 28, but after reading alot of posts on here, i'm guessing it's a 27. bored just 10 over so i'm at 1350cc. runs like a scalded cat though

Just purchased new rotors and pulley in a star design, new spoke wheels, new belt covers. soon to be adding a fat bob tank, lower shocks, new forward controls, and a few other goodies. Don't really know what i'm doing, but after spending $1100 in labor alone on this rebuild, i guess it's time to learn.

Anyways, she's in touring mode right now, but i'm about to put the badlander back on, as i think i find it more comfy than the pillow seat. plenty of long trips taken on the badander. maybe i'll get some better pictures up soon.

p.s. it's not for sale anymore

Crewcutsamson · 06-03-2008, 02:33 AM

oh yeah, he put a higher compression piston in it, but don't ask me anything about it, haven't got a clue about it.

Most of us can't view your pics. You can host them for free at photobucket.com and copy the image link, then the pics will appear for everyone to see them. Like this:
