r/fxr

So this is my late father's 84' fxr it, hasn't ran since the late 90s. I believe the rear head warped and its been parked in the garage as is since then. I still ride but I'm not sure if this is a project I am ready to deal with my current time and resources. What would an fxr parts bike be worth? Is it worth anything? Would restoring it even be feasible?.My mom would love to get it out of the garage im stalling her.

Hi. Can anyone tell what has been done to this fxr. Ad says 1990 fxr convertible nothing else.

started walking again a few weeks back so snagged a 1993 so here’s to a new build

Based on what you guys can see, anything standing out that says it’s a good or bad buy?

So I’m considering buying these since I’m getting my bike painted and like the look of these, but on JP cycles website (and Dennis Kirk for that matter) both say it will not fit my bike, however the Arlen Ness website says fits all FXR models 82-94. Curious if anyone knows if these do in fact fit the FXLR Low Rider Custom model

Hello, FXR lovers.

I'm selling my 1982 FXR. I fully rebuilt it in 2018:

- Everything is powder coated: frame, swingarm, oil tank, fenders, fuel tank

- 2006 Sportster front end

- Lots of goodies: swingarm bearings, hydraulic Sifton diaphragm clutch, spoke wheels, S&S carb, o-ring chain. It even has the seat hinge and latch

- Fully muffled custom exhaust by Paucho

-------

Nothing is wrong with it. I've ridden it all over AZ, NM, and CO from Yuma to Leadville.

I'm just getting old and no interest in riding her anymore. Time for a new person to ride her, and I'm willing to sell it cheap to a good home. I'll miss her, but I have thousands of miles of memories.

I used to have a motorcycle shop and rental business, and it zapped my lifelong love of bikes. Now she sits except for monthly rides that feel obligatory. This was my personal ride--the last on a long list of rubber-mounted shovelheads that I have rebuilt and ridden the country on. I never rented her except for it was in a Japanese clothing catalog and commercial.

-------

The bad:

- a tiny ding in the tank

- clutch drags. Probably an air bubble, but I've ridden her for thousands of miles not caring about it

- factory fuel gauge doesn't work

Things you may not like:

- Metric master cylinders (Honda but not branded)

- no gauges--it looks cleaner that way

------

Ready to ride now. Comes with:

--a brand new Dunlop 404 front tire for next season

--cover (always been stored inside under a cover)

--S&S jets that will take you from sea level to 10k feet

--factory pillow seat (rider only) in perfect condition

--miscellaneous spare gaskets and such

--3 gallons of 60 weight oil (used during my hot desert rides, but she has fresh 20-50 in her now)

--------

$5k is an EXCELLENT price. Don't ask for less, because I'd rather park it in my living room as art and let my daughters sell it at auction once I croak than sell it for a penny less.

Will work with any shipper, or you can ride it away from my home just off I-25 midway between Albuquerque and El Paso

Few months back my motor blew all its oil out of the base gasket, don’t have the time to rebuild it right now, so picked up a known running evo and swapped it in yesterday, first fire up got me all fired up! Will probably build up my original motor with some Jim’s lifters/ lifter blocks I have, upgraded valve spring heads, S&s oil pump, and S&s cam. Might try and find a twin cam at the same time, will swap whichever comes first lol

What started as a “probably should replace the lifters” at around 40k miles on my ‘86. Has turned into a tear down to the frame, motor swap, bagger trans upgrade… to name a few

just finished wiring and fired her up after a complete disassembly, could the rattle be from a loose primary chain? also it kinda sounds like its running primarily on 1 cylinder, could timing be wrong? or is it a carb issue, switched to an ultima single fire ignition kit and she fired up instantly after pissing out the wet sump(still pissing a bit through the breather hole but it maybe due to over filling the oil belly any thoughts and advice please!

Hey guys, I am extending wires on my buddy’s 94 FXLR

Are these called AMP mate n lock connectors or molex connectors? If I buy the female ends should I also replace the male ends?

I can’t seem to find an exact connector that looks like this but I see similar connectors so I am wondering if the connection will still be stable if I only replace the female pins.

Thanks in advance
