I was running my usual errands and pulled into the parking lot of my local CVS. As I was riding in I saw a cop bike. They're not too common in my area so after I parked I went to take a look. The cop was coming and getting ready to mount. It turns out to be an active duty FXR Police Bike all decked out. It looked rough and well used. It looked like it was dropped at least once. But it sounded great and ran smoothly at idle and when he pulled out. I told him "Nice FXR" then asked him how long he's been riding that particular bike for. He said about 4 years. It's obviously much older than that. I'm guessing one of the last versions in the 90's. I was coming and he was going and I didn't have time for a pic. Since it was at a local pharmacy there's a chance I may see the bike again. I don't recall the last time I saw an FXR cop bike. I usually see the Road Kinds. It was a nice find.

 

One of the best handling bikes H-D ever made!

 

Did it look like this?

 

I can't tell from that pic. His bike had the FXR battery cover that was chromed and on the right side the FXR side covers and the round Evo air cleaner.

Edit:

Is that bike even an FXR?

 

Maybe it wasn't an FXR. Depends on what you say the chromed battery cover is. The battery sits under the seat and has no cover. If you're talking about the triangle shaped side covers (they cover all the electrical connections), then yes, it was an FXR. And tht picture posted above is not an FXR.

 

Yes the triangle side covers. The cop did confirm it was the FXR when I mentioned it.

I've seen many FXR bikes through the years. No I didn't know the battery was under the seat so for lack of a better way to say it I said battery cover. But the above pic looks nothing like the FXR. Not sure why it was posted other than it's a cop bike.

 

The last FXR (other than CVO in '99 & '00) was built in '94. Not sure when the last FXR-P was built though. Either way, 18 years in service (or more) for a bike is a LOOOONG time! And good eyes for realizing what it was.

 

The description where I found this picture said it was an FXR. I think a 1996

 

My 1992 FXR says Hi (to the cop bike).
Triangle sides are pretty unmistakeable. As is the sweet ride.

 

I've always been a fan of cop bikes since I was a kid and saw the movie Electra Glide in Blue. When I was walking over to it, approaching from the left side, I noticed the FXR side covers. When I saw it from the right side I immediately knew it was an FXR.

In the above pic I didn't see the side covers and also noticed it had an FL front end. Plus the exhaust crossed over on the left side.
