Dude the parts fitment on FXRs is ridiculous. I bought an exhaust from a well-know, reputable brand that was claimed to be a direct fit for my 85 FXRT, but it totally wasn’t because the earlier FXR frames had a mount for the exhaust behind the swingarm pivot (the “donut”) which didn’t clear the new exhaust bracket. I ended up solving it by spacing it out some but it was really annoying because it wasn’t a cheap exhaust and it was sold as a direct fit to my year and model. I’ve got the bike on the road now and I’m also done messing with it for the foreseeable future
Man you nailed it, I need to go more into detail but the same problem with my stuff. "DIRECT FIT" does not mean not shim until fits lol I appreciate you watching and commenting sir!
Man, your FXR looks and sounds great! Trends come and go so you gotta choose what’s right for your bike and your wallet. Parts… man don’t get me started. I called out TBR on a set of pipes that sucked and it went nowhere. They couldn’t care less. Pan America would be badass to see on your channel! Good stuff Jay.
Ohh dude I remember that! It's shocking that they get tagged and goes nowhere or even a follow up of some kind of customer service explaining what happened. They don't realize who could be watching any of the videos. I appreciate the kind words on the FXR man and for watching!🤘
HEY JAY... Just popped in to see your vid. Don't sweat your editing as far as I see just turn on camera and talk. I know it's the editing that makes it seem that way but I would bet on more entertaining and longer videos with one take and leave the F ups in... I took time for this comment because I want to see what viewers think about this statement... "It has always been my understanding that Club Style Bike means that any thing you want to do mechanically or visually is fine, as long as NO ONE who seen the bike with the club could ever later be able to say it was the one with ___ ___.". That means even the one with the burnt out turn signal or red bandanna tied to the handle bar. Only "It may have been there, I'm not sure officer."... What does everyone still reading this think? Cobar in the Husker state...

I buy a ton from drag specialties, get quality and great prices
I plan on doing a bike build completely out of drag specialize parts and see how cheap you can go and look great.

Now i dont feel bad that i bought a softail 2 into 1 for my FXR and made my own bracket.
Custom! But yeah save your self some money, because you'll have to modify it anyway lol
I see your roads out there are like in Down River. These Michigan roads are terrible.
Man they are, every inch of road is under construction or destroyed lol
