It has the enclosed rear oil bath chain. The chain lasted for ever with that setup and since your bike is a 1984 1/2 it has the EVO style wet clutch instead of the troublesome shovelhead clutch. Looks like a nice bike.

When I first got t I noticed that hideously ugly chain set up and thought to myself thats gotta go. But the more I read about it, I get the sense its a very good set up until it starts leaking. My understanding is you cant get parts for it. I am going to get saddlebags for it of some sort. Not sure what type yet. Maybe just some leather throw over type.

Been hanging out in the touring and pan am sections, I missed there’s an FXR section now!
Me, my dad, and some good friends Built this one from a bare frame
1993 fxrsp, racetech front and rear, Trac swing arm, 85” axtell kit, royal-T pipe, ebc rotors with wilwood calipers, painted the ghost flames myself, Jim’s fat 5 trans. Gonna add some bags and a little bigger fairing to make it more practical. Fun bike to ride!
