My fxrs was pulled out of a barn about this time last year. It is a 1987 fxrs lowrider, it has 14,000 original miles on it. I was amazed how little it took to revive it. It took a new air filter, a carb rebuild, new plugs, wires, and a little work to the tank. I had it running (after a 10 year stay in that barn) in less than a week. Now I'm starting to work to get the 10 years of barn crud off from it. That seems to be more of a problem than the fixing of the mechanical problems. But we're just calling it a work in progress, I guess it doesn't have to be all done at one time. It seems to be finally starting to clean up.
