  1. Evolution Engine
    I just bought a 97 Road King that needed an engine. I ended up finding a 91 FXR engine to swap. I pulled my motor out of the road king and noticed the mounting for the oil filter housing / other parts were different. What’s the difference between these to motors? Is there a lot involved in...

    Hey, I just picked up my first FXR on Saturday and thought that I'd introduce myself here. Its a 93 Super Glide. The speedo cable was snapped when I picked it up so I don't know the miles. Its showing 34,xxx or so. I'm not new to Harleys and have had them for 20 odd years or more. I have an...

  5. Evolution Engine
    I have a '99 FXR2 that lost oil pressure last fall. I finally have time to start looking at it and have some questions I'm hoping someone can help out with. The bike lost oil pressure, I noticed when it started ticking fairly loud. I was able to get it back home as I was only about 2 blocks...
  6. Harley Davidson Evolution and Twin Cam Touring
    So I was going a bit faster then should have. Went to downshift and slow down for the turn and the damn thing went in between gears. After I was able to move around. Frames twisted and front exhaust hit the frame. Had a mechanic try jumping it from starter but thinking something is taking up the...

    I've just recently picked up a 82 fxr. This bike is by no means stock as is expected with a 40 year old bike lol ... I'm trying to get more information on the motor and drivetrain. I do know it has a 80' Evo with edlebrock heads, intake, and carb. Maybe somebody smarter than me can tell me...

  10. Evolution Engine
    Wanting a stop light to stop light bruiser with an occasional 250 mile "NON-AGGRESSIVE" ride. I've looked into the Truitt & Osborn monster torque crank, wood performance cam, now I'm needing suggestions on cylinders, heads, ignition system and pipes for a fairly reliable 135 HP & 135 TQ motor...
  11. Evolution Engine
    I built a bike in the 90's with an Evo engine. It needs a new oil pump and carb. The dealer can't identify the year of the engine by the 10 digit serial number because it isn't the same as the 17 digit VIN. Any idea how I can determine what year it is or does it matter? Closer as I can tell, the...

  13. Harley-Davidson FXR
    Hows it going, so I bought this bike back in December with 45,000 miles on it I was able to get a few thousand miles in this season before I starting getting a rattling noise.

  14. Evolution Engine
    In doing a top end rebuild, I nicked my base gasket surface. Any advice on repairing this before I slap it all back together? My dad suggested sand paper of varying grits with a sanding block. I am nervous to ruin the sealing surface and need machining work done.

    Hello, my name is Randy and I'm new to the forum. I just purchased a 1984 FXR for a good price. The bad thing is that the engine is shot; it's leaking oil basically everywhere, there is a lot of oil coming from the exhaust, it has a bad knock, there is a terrible noise from the clutch, and...
