    From the future, Very Nice Bike, I had the same bike, back in 1997/2000, then I purchased a DEUCE, now living in France.

    Nothing like the FXR frame,... i have a 1990 FXRS that i love,... and will NEVER part with,... only 42,000 miles on her,... still have the evo motor in her,..with a mild andrews cam, mikuni carb and igintion,... woke up the motor just enough for me... you have a great bike,..love your vids,.. ride safe...

    The FXR chassis is the best Harley Platform. the Evo motor was considered a revolution but the FXR makes the performance and handling possible. Great choice in a bike that will never be old.

    Your bike is an incredible example of what a little time and knowledge can lead into. You made the bike fot you for what you wanted and for that, she's perfect. Fantastic job and gorgeous bike.

    Ain’t it great that all the comments ( mainly from men it seems) are so respectful, positive and encouraging. No sexism, no mocking, no shit. Just as it should be. I think we knuckle-dragging bikers can use those long arms to pat ourselves on the back.

    I just randomly came across this. That's not too far off of the Harley idea I've had in my head for the last 6 months.... you may be fueling a new investment in my life lol

  • @StevenVanLoven
    @StevenVanLoven 3 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    I had an FXR , one of the best harley's i'v had. I only would change yours by a dual front brake and a stabilizer on the lower front fork . These FXR's feels like beasts. Just love them.

    I never had a FXR but did have a '98 FXDS-C with Thunderheaders that I rode all over America, from Mexico to Canada. Put 100,000 miles on her until she was stolen, still miss that bike. Glad to see someone keeping the FXR alive!

    I installed spherical bearings in my swing arm on my 87 FXRS. Much better than the OEM Cleve-Bloks. I was getting weird vibrations through the frame . The spherical bearings tightened things up ,took the crazy stuff away. Your heavier swing arm is the way to go for sure . I beefed my original swing arm up a bit when I did the pivots. Your flipping the coil over so the ignition feed wires to the coil are where you can see them and get to them is rock solid idea. Functionality and reliability are what matters . Screw the pretty stuff. I.put small floor boards on my FXR and what a difference . Ten times less stress on the legs. Couldn't believe the difference ! Great bike , enjoy . Travel safe ! Arrive alive

    Nice video can't wait to see more. I really like to go motorcycle camping was stoked to see those pictures of all your camping gear and that you did 22,000 miles when you got the thing. Now that would be some great videos I subscribed to her two wheels at less than six thousand subscribers watched her blow up hoping the same thing happens here good luck and look forward to seeing your adventures keep the shiny side up

    Love this bike! I saw it on a Biltwell rider profile I think. I’ve got an 83 with some of the same upgrades I went with RideTech though and RB Racing pipe. Great color as well I’m looking forward to more content on it 👍🏻

  • @styles143able

    Really dig the mods you did on blue! I buy old bikes for dirt cheap and build them into what they deserve in regards to engine work, mods, etc. You are 100% like myself and other true riders...you love to learn. Knowledge is power. I just purchased a 2020 Harley Softail Deluxe. The last one left in Canada! It should be at my house in a week or so once the mods are done. Pretty stoked and super excited to ride it! First road trip will be to Banff, Ab which is less than a hour from me. Gotta love those mountains! Go fast ⚡️ don’t die 👊🤘

    Also I will not speak against anybody's comment. everybody has a right! But I will comment.Let's not forget to triangulate it's all about the frame. When an
    FXR is the topic. IMHO.

  • @AppleJack76
    @AppleJack76 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Well thought out upgrades, for the use of the bike. My '92 FXLR was built for short rides. I am considering those Legend shocks, since the bike is so low, due to the frame / fork being raked.

    The FXR is the best Harley Davidson ever produced for people that actually ride. Put 60,000 on my 1990 FXRS in 4yrs living in Upstate NY at the time. They are comfortable, handle incredibly well for a motorcycle that size.
