Default I want this, but....

....No garage space. Looks like a good deal if anyone else wants to reach out to the seller.

Personally I think it is a bit high for an '88 FXR.

My buddy John was looking around for an FXR, adding to his Dyna that he just got done paying for. OTR driver. Thanksgiving day, he was diagnosed with Leukemia, January 18th he was dead. RIP John.

So sorry for your loss blu. I have come to appreciate the FXR frame through a friend. Unfortunately, I do not have a garage, otherwise I would make an offer on this one.

I personally don't see what's so great about the price?......especially with unknown mileage....I pass right over adds like this......too many other bikes out there....I guess I'm missing something??

Its pricey but looks way tidier than most FXR's you see for sale.....some people think those three letters are a gold mine but the bike needs to be clean and tidy...Traildog clean!!!

Possibly over estimating the value for this. What would you think it is worth, realistically?

This looks like a much better deal

Plus I'm always suspicious about custom painted bikes having been in a wreck...

the guy is from the city and as such prices are always more in the city BUT its an 88 so it has a shovel slow junk starter, and you are not able to Mod the motor with out spending another 600 for a starter and 200 for a battery to drive it, sooo keep that in mind, 89 was the first year for the better starter - johnjzjz
