I am intersted in the bike but I am intensely curious. Here you have built an extremely well done performance oriented bike (Bravo!), so why did you get rid of the much better handling front stock front end? A skinny wobbly traction challenged 21inch front tire is among the worse possible choice for braking and high speed sweeping turns. No disrespect meant, this is just a fact.
The stock 39mm narrow glide is really a pretty good set up. Add cartridge emulators and they are even better.
Sorry to be blunt, but the 21 inch tire on a performance package is down right dangerous. They squirm all over the road like a toad when pushed and offer very little in contact patch for any performance braking. I understand their place on poser bikes, but your bike is not one of those. The rest of it is real poetry in motion. It is a real world class job. Extremely efficient, comfortable and safe. That is why I am so confused.
I only own FXR;s and you have built a real nice one. One of the best i have ever seen except for the front end.
Dont get me started on why there is no tach. But that is an easy fix.
I know what a new front end swap entails, so I know what has to be done there. The most important question I have is: when and what components did you rebuild the swing arm innards, pivot shaft, cleveblock, etc. Did you re assemble it with never seize?
Every used FXR i have bought so far has had a nightmare involved in removing those swing arm components. Two bikes had to be stripped down to the frame and one had to actually have the swing arm surgically removed. However, I have a good feeling you have addressed this yes?
Is the bike still for sale?
