I have the chance to swap my 2007 Dyna for a 1992 fxr with 19k miles on chasis and 3500 on new 113 from horse power express. This bike has sat for a while dry rotted tires etc. Horsepower express has been closed for a few years so I can't call and ask them. He has a stack of receipts total 30k ouch.
my
Dyna is clean no problems and with my cams putting out 90hp 100tq from the stock is 96'. I miss my FXR I sold a few years ago I just don't want to step into a pile. I do my own work and know my way around Evo s. What do you think would this be a good trade or should I ask for some $$ on top I don't like the wide glide front so that would need to go. I would also dig some 8 spoke mags...

I guess it's up to you on how much you want the EVO.
Have you fired it up?
Does it sound good?
Who made the 113? (Ultima, Revtec, S&S)
A guy who drops $30k into tricking out an FXR wants to trade it for a TC Dyna? I'd be worried that he knows something you don't. That doesn't make sense. No disrespect, but TC Dynas are a dime a dozen.
If he's really willing to make that deal, I'd do a compression and leak down test on the FXR and make sure it runs and drives correctly. If all that checks out, I'd be all over this trade yesterday.
I remember that bike. The owner sunk a lot of $$$ into it & went first class on everything. I worked for Bruce (HP Express) in the early 90's when the shop was located on East Sunnyoaks in Campbell.
Nice still the same owner bike has been sitting for 7-8 years. Needs a full tune up oil change new hoses new tires etc.. something for me to do over the winter. His son wants a Dyna Soo.......
He tricked it out in 1999 he has a stack of receipts from hannons machine shop (heads) and Horsepower express builder.
the fxr fires right up after fresh gas didn't even clean the carb yet.

Reason: Spelling
you say you have $7500 in the dyna. how much are you going to sink into the FXR to get her back on the road? Tires, Tune up, New Lines, Oil Change, but what about the unknown? I know here in Fort Worth I can find FXR's for around $3000-5500 range that need a little work. Mind you, that they don't have the S&S 113 and Baker transmission, but I would have a hard tome going from a worry free bike to the Unknown.
