Very nice. And nice to hear you were able to do this project with your daughter.

I got it from Kenndy Cycle in Oceanside. The VIN says it is a FXRT...but as I understand the tank is a low rider tank and the rear fender has been changed out. This is my first FXR and not sure what I will do to it...other than ride it now!!!!

Bike looks good Kimo. But a lot more has been changed beside the tank and rear fender!
This is what it should look like:

Yeah, what BigPeet said. The 'T' in 'FXRT' is for 'touring'. He showed you the profile, my avatar is the front view.
Your bike looks good, I just hate seeing FXRs adulterated, especially FXRTs. They're my thing.

I like the first 2. The blue one is done up as a flat tracker, but the tank reminds me of a boardtracker from the '20s, and the black one just looks like an animal.

I like the second and third pictures. FXR's always look good in Black.

better pic of my new project
anyone looking for a Mustang "gunfighter" style seat? Im open to trades for a 2-up seat, luggage rack, stock rear fender ... or whatever fits my FXR
I already got Progressive 13in shocks and 13.25 Works shocks to try. Just didn't have time to play with them yet.
