Let's hear about the FXR's here

Hi all,new here.Mine is a 1990 FXLR.The engine was rebuilt with 10.5:1 pistons and a screaming eagle cam,the trans is a 6spd O.D.This bike takes off like a rocket with some nice sound coming out of those Vance & Hines pipes. When I get on the highway and kick it into overdrive,I'm doing 70mph at about 2400rpm.I tell you what a smooth ride and the way it handles the corners you cant beat it.
I,ve done some major cosmetic work to it over the winter.I added new front and rear custom fender and an FXRS Gas tank with guages(did the paint myself).I also added Lepera seats and a set of Ultima lethal weapons wheels. Then with some black wrinkle and red metalcast paint I proceeded to "de-chrome" most of the bike.
I'm still doing some little changes here and there but since the nice weather is coming I've been and will be riding it more.

Guys, Im having doubts about my bike... It's a 1988, on the air filter it says "LOW RIDER SPORT", but, I see the frame looks like an FXR...

Can it be that in Italy FXR were named DYNA anyway?

It was bought brand new from my father, and since then she had only minor mods...

Please downsize your pics to no larger than 800 X 600

Now I know why is so fast and fun to drive

Ok, from now on, you have another FXR fan

BTW, the softail is way slower than this one, I always thought there was some difference in the engine, but Im rethinking that maybe really is a difference of weight, right?

This also means that when i move to New Jersey I have to find an FXR

Lots of times I heard people about not beeing fun to ride an Harley, but I always told them they were wrong, because mine is really fun to drive... not only is fast, but it handles really good, and you are able to catch up with much faster bikes....

I guess people should ride an FXR before saying Harleys are not fun to drive..

I am a big FXR FAN. I own a 1982 FXR, 1983, FXR, and a 1986 frame with wytec fuel injected 1993 EVO custom homebuilt. Best frame ever built for cruising. Nothing like a 80 inch Shovel in a rubber mount frame. They are the best handling with the best sounding/riding motor Harley ever built.

I have a twin cam Ultra for highway touring. It is great for that purpose. But for the joy and thrill of riding.... ride an FXR.

Someone else that knows FXR's. I had a 90, best bike I ever owned.

We've got a lot in common....my main ride is my 2003 Ultra, my other rides are my '86 FXR and my '93 FXRS!
