SurFor, haha I was there too and checked that FLH out! Did you see the FXRT with the 124"S&S? That thing was badass. Also the suicide machine FXR was there and it was pretty sick.

Brett, I bought my FXRP in January and I 100% have switched my loyalties to FXR's. It is definitely hands down a better performer. The dudes at the dealership are tards.

Well from what i'm reading, I made a good choice for my first HD. I bought an 86 fxr with minor lay down damage. . I'm a good bike mechanic but Harley's are a make all of their own.

You need 3 bikes. One for touring , one for cruising and one for performance.
I have an '07 Ultra, an '08 Softail custom, and a '99 FXR2.

I have been searching for and FXR as a second bike. I will not sell my street glide to get is so the price has to be right. I found a 1994 local but this bike just looks off. Specifically the tank. Also the price seems high. What does everyone think? http://www.cycletrader.com/listing/1...3?TABLET=false

My country has a 10 year age limit for vehicle importation...so I can't get one of those fabled FXR's even I wanted to (which I do after reading all your comments so far)

It is easy to change the shock position on the later FXR by switching the struts for early FXR or any FXRT strut and moving the shock back to that hole. 35mm front ends ore not as good as the later 39mm IMO and the clutch and is much better on the later FXRs as well. I believe they went to the spline shaft in '91 which made for a much better clutch.
