I just received and installed my RB pipe the other day and was coming here to ask some cam questions, figured I'd share. This is my '93 FXRS-C (though I've removed all the C parts, haha). Done a variety of engine and other work since I picked it up in Detroit last April.
1985 FXRS. Paughco pipes (got it with drags), later rear turn signals, different chrome side covers, gas cap, and belt guard, later (?) sissy bar, el cheapo petcock, 32amp alt, blue dot tail light. Otherwise all stock.
With the likes I've gotten, thought I'd repost with details.
1991 FXRS. Changes/mods include: 1990 Sturgis wheels, FXRT front fender, seat, rear shocks, saddlebags, saddlebag guards & tour pack. Added 2" over front tubes & chrome lower legs. Changed to FXR sidestand (FXRS sidestand leaned too far with taller suspension added to both front & rear). Python 2 exhaust with K&N air filter upgrade. Convertible windshield with turn signals relocated to fork legs. Frame mounted spot lights. Chrome pulley cover. Stayed with mid-mount pegs/controls with highway pegs added.
With the taller suspension, this was the best handling bike I have ever had. Long gone now, bike had @ 113,000 miles when sold by my son to a guy in Ohio. When my son got the bike from me it had over 91,000 miles on it. Bike had @ 78,000 miles on it when this picture was taken.
My 83 FXRS with a fatboy front end....ugh. Why do people do crap like that?
I have a new pair of 1200R forks for it, disc glide wheels, 4 piston callipers with EBC pads and russel rotors almost ready to go on, correct bars and NOS gauges. The color is original to the bike but its a repaint so with a clear conscience I'll be changing the color next year. I got rid of the RT foot boards too and went back to the correct mid pegs.
Fatboy front end gonzo and a 1200R front end in its place along with much better braking up front. I like the Disc glide wheels correct or not for my S. Still need to lower the rear about an inch and a half.
