I love my 93 fxr! The swingarm is mounted on the transmission via the pivot shaft that goes through the pivot blocks & rubber doughnuts. Would of made sense to mount it to the frame for stabilization. Nice bikes!
I love FXR!!! To me the FXRS Convertible and FXRT/P is the best Harley Davidson ever made. It's fast, it's smooth, it's stable, it's easy to handle, and the sound of evo engine makes FXR absolutely perfect! until the M8 Low Rider ST was born...
Alot of the same design ideas used in the FXR were used a few years earlier on its fat brother the FLT. Corse the FLT was a dresser, and not a superglide but it had, & still has in its newest versions excellent ergonomic handling geometry. Before the baggerz craze when a FLT was a touring geezer glide I would refer to mine as an 800 lb. FXR. Bigger heavier and with that big neck and reversed triple trees to get the geometry just rite. The FXR was a brilliant design, when it 1st came out I thought it looked like a jap bike. 1st time riding one I was sold though. Corse, the 4 speed big twin frames looked alot better. The look of the V on the FXR frame grew on Me over time. The prices of a used FXR says it all. It's nice there's still used up one's out there selling cheap. One thing in this good video that wasn't totally accurate was Dyna's were evo powered for over half a decade before the twincam bikes. (1999 was the 1st year of twincams for the dynas, & dressers). The 1st Dynas were Sturgis & Daytona models that had lowrider type double gauge clusters on the tanks in the early 90's still having bottom end breathing evos.
@@joshziegler Jim Hoffman of P&A was given the job of making it happen, and on a incredibly tight schedule: Go-ahead was last September, with the first of the FXR2s leaving the assembly line in January of this year. “No,” he says, “contrary to rumors, we didn’t find 1800 old frames in a warehouse someplace.” Instead, the FXR frame was put back into production, along with a number of other FXR components. Both the FXR2 and FXR3 are essentially mechanically identical to the last FXRs made in 1994, with a few upgrades such as a new wiring harness that uses the latest type of connectors, a vacuum-operated fuel valve, the same nine-plate clutch fitted to the Evo, and the five-hole derby cover.
They actually started making dynas in '94. I know because I own one. It is kind of a bastard year, a lot of parts left over from the FXR like handle bar switches and stuff. I'd hardly call your 2006 an early model dyna, It is a nice looking bike though. All of them are beautiful
Hats off to you for delving into this comparison. FXR’s rule. FXR’s set the standard.
thanks for watching
My oldest son just bought a 92 FXR. He's getting it tricked out now. He loves it.
Great video.
I have the 2000FXR4 in Tangerine and I can't say enough about it.
Bought it new and I'll get old with it.
I have the one in yellow and I will grow old with it as well.

I hear you.
I ride mine 12 months of the year excluding snow storms.
Gets cold but our engines love being cool
Have a great day

Absolutely love my 05 Dyna lowrider 🤙🦅 so im with ya on the 04. Nice ride mate.
I own a 2017 fxdl, best bike I've ever ridden. I'll have it till the end.
"I like my Dyna" and then goes on to say all the $$ he had to spend to make it similar to an FXR, but not quite as good handling. SMH.

that FXR3 looks killer!
I am the original owner a 91 FXRT with the same paint 12000 miles in the garage for years and thinking of selling...
I would be interested in your bike…
Did you sell it?
Wish had included an early one. I owe an 85 fxrs low rider.
Eric Buell also came in later. Was not a designer at all.
And the fxr models that came after 94 were leftover frames.
