Springer Classic with a functional kick start and sprung solo seat. Loved mine.

Basically Softail Deluxe tins on a Dyna bike? That was my idea too, a Dyna with the Duo Glide look to it. I even have a post up in the Dyna section right now, asking if it can be done with aftermarket tins. I don't know whether it'd look right with the battery box under the seat instead of an oil pan, but I'd like to see it done.

The FXR was a major step forward, when compared to the shovel, it was reliable and somewhat vibration free , there were draw backs,as the frame was to low to the rear cylinder head for ease of removal.and gaskets were in need of changing every other year , was my experience.
I still own a 1987 FXLR whicn I recently restored, it is a sweet bike, no doubt, but I am sorry to say compared to my 2004 Springer FXSTSI, there is no comparison, for ride, handling and better reliability. the Springer is a far Superior Machine IMHO. The FXR had some nice looking models, which died when the Dyna's replaced them.
A good comparison performance wise is, I compare my 1380 Evo to a small block chevy, but my 88 TC is more like a chevy big block, they both perform, but very differently. Now bring back a FXLR with a 103 TC and you are talking R&R
I also agree the Bad Boy was trick, as was the XLCR
