Did youens really think I was going to sit this one out?
Here it is, my little yellow Superglide
Year: 2000
Model: FXR-4
Eng size: 80 inch
Transmission: 5 speed
Pipes: Oem Staggers, reworked baffles
Seat: Sundowner
Wheels: Oem, Disk on rear Spokes up front, with Elite 3 rubber.
And the story: I picked this up used a while back. The previous owner had made it his own. So little by little I put it back to the way it should have been. And then made a few more changes, to make it the way I would have built it.
I put buckhorn bars on it, to make it more like it's Low Rider brothers.
Then I rebuilt the front forks with custom springs and emulators.
To make it go, I put an EV-27 cam in with an adjustable spark box, then tricked the CV out a little. And for a little sleeper effect, a 21 tooth motor sprocket.
It's mild mannered to ride, handles like a dream, stops on a dime, and sparkles in the sun. IMHO the perfect little scooter for when I feel the need for some bling.
