    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...
  2. Harley-Davidson FXR
    This is a super old thread so I really don’t expect a response. (13) years. But I’m putting together a 1986 FXRS-SP and tracking down all original parts. I’ve got a windshield and convertible saddlebags. Only downside is I have to get all the mounting brackets as well and I cannot for the life...

    I’m putting together a 1986 FXRS-SP and tracking down all original parts. I’ve got a windshield and convertible saddlebags. Only downside is I have to get all the mounting brackets as well and I cannot for the life of me figure out what is what. If anyone could steer me in the right direction I...

    Hello all I have a slight problem. My '85 fxrs keeps shuting itself off while riding and i dont know where to look for problem. While the problem is on, its a loss for ignition power, lights etc will stay on. I have checked circuit breakers and they are fine (and powered!). Symptoms would...

    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...

    Hey all, After buying some new RWD shocks for my ‘91 RS, I came to realize they did not fit at all. I confirmed with RWD that they were the right shocks for my bike. So I did a little more digging. I found that the existing shocks on the bike (I don’t know the brand or model, bike was used...
  8. Harley-Davidson FXR
    Just joined this forum. I enjoy reading past posts for reference material. Reason I am here in the first place is I have a 1984 FXRS and am 2nd owner and bought it in 1985. It is totally original except for forward controls. I am now 71, back is bad and I can’t ride any longer. I have kept it...

    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...

    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...

    Hey, been cruising these forums for a while now and thought it's time I made it official! I ride a 04 fxdi and just picked up a 82 fxr thats in need of some love. I managed to take it out for its first ride a couple days ago. Still waiting for the rest of the snow to melt around these parts.

    So yeah, uh... it's been literally years since I installed the Gold Valve emulators + 1.0kg/mm springs in the front of the '91 FXRS. I finally over the past 6-8 months have been putting miles on them! When I built the front end, I was around 260lbs, did 15wt oil + the 40lbs spring (blue...

    Howdy Everyone! I picked up a 1987 FXRS about a week ago and have run into some problems with the dash. The bike itself is a mix of various year/ model parts and finding exactly what I need is tricky. My problem is the bike came with a dash mounted tank (Im not sure if this is correct for...

    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...
