If all test worked out well on the fxr, I would do that trade.

 

Still sounds like you will sink a ton of money in the FXr. Budd just sold a perfect jewel fxr for 4,500. That 113 prolly been pounded on in 18 yrs. If it was a newer 113 yes but I wouldn't trade a problem free tc for it.

 

Are you sure that's an S&S motor... Never seen that cam chest before...

 

Don't think its S&S, no markings and looks different. They said something about Power House ??

 

It's a S&S motor that was assembled by Bruce at Horsepower Express. That's a $1500 Ceriani front end on that FXR.

 

Bike has 19k work on receipts in 1999 it had 15500 so the motor has 3500 . I guess you could beat it but..... The guy paid $$ to have the s@s logo removed from cases and heads strange but I guess he wanted a sleeper. If you look closely on the head you can see were it was

 

Fxr with 113 in Cali go for 10-12k

 

Brad, you need to use the "Quote" button. Will make your replies easier to follow.

I'm still of the opinion that, assuming the bike passes a basic mechanical inspection, you would be getting the WAY WAY better end of the deal in an even trade. So much so that I am a little suspicious of why the owner would do it.

But, whatever. I'm sure he has his reasons. Maybe he's just bored.

As others have said, you will probably take a step backwards on reliability, which doesn't mean the FXR will be a constant headache. Just means it will probably need more care and feeding over time than your Dyna.

 

 

I wondered what that button was for. Thanks for the heads up
