my fully built, 1990 FXRS | taking care of business

The low-budget way of getting there is to fit the entire front end off of a GSXR or similar sport bike.

this is the base kit, plus calipers, rotors, fender, and anything else you may need on the tree's etc.

selling them...with tires.
it is a budget option...but also not a huge fan of them aesthetically. need to, make sure they are valved correctly as well.

Congratulations on one of the nicest FXR builds I've ever seen. Just beautiful.
I considered the Ohlins front end and Brembo setup on my FXR restoration project, but I thought they wouldn't look right on a 25 year old FXR...looks like I was dead wrong. Your bike must have incredible handling characteristics, and stop on a dime to boot!
Knowing what I spent on my restoration job, I can't imagine the fat stacks of Benjamin Franklins you parted with to complete your build. You know what...it doesn't matter, because it was worth it!!
Congrats again...awesome bike.

I didn't want to go that route..I think that lowers the bike too..Howard at Motorcycle Metal hooked me up with a pretty good package..I'm getting Brembo Brakes, Ohlins inverted front end, and black line shocks in the rear at a pretty good deal..well compared to some of the other company's I tried to get the same set up from
