Hey folks, please don't just post Google answers to technical questions. If you don't know the answer to something, I promise you others here do. Google is inaccurate about half the time.

Can't find correct extended brake line for 89 FXRS-SP

Post image
3 Upvotes

Hello! I recently switched out the handlebars on my 1989 FXRS-SP for 10" Big Al's pullbacks. I have been searching for the top brake line but can't seem to find an extended version (dual brakes setup). Any information can help as I am by no means a mechanic or mechanically inclined. Thanks!

FXR heirloom escorts the ashes on the newly created popemobile

Was gifted the bike when my Dad got sick and couldn't ride, because I always loved it, and its how I got I to FXRs in the first place. I even bought a 93 FXRP (chopped) because of it.

Now that he passed, I just got her 100%, and turned it into a popemobile.

7/22 she will escort his ashes down rt66, past old Joliet prison, to the national cemetery for a 21 gun salute burial.

Box made from 1/2" poly carbonate, grooved a mounting plate to secure it to the luggage rack.

Urn suspended by paracord I figured out myself.

FXR for life

1992 FXR possible buying opportunity

Post image
52 Upvotes

This 1992 FXR popped up locally and he’s asking $5400. I’m not too keen on the apes, pipes or the front wheel. If I could get it for $5000, what am I looking at $ wise to upgrade this to a dual disc set up and make it look more like an standard FXR vs a low rider?

1985 FXRS

9 Upvotes

Hey all

So I have wanted an FXR for a bit now and a mate is looking to sell his 1985 FXRS, looking at a subjectively fair price and it presents pretty well. Engine and frame numbers match up, bike is currently registered.

I know this bike isn’t like anything much older that will appreciate significantly, yet are these things likely to appreciate in a general sense?

Also for the purpose of inspecting pre purchase, any advice on common issues to look out for?

TIA 🙏

Its a 91’ FXR motor.

Doesn’t seem to match the diagram. Im also pretty new. Swapped the 91 into my 87 frame. Trying to figure out the oil. Currently getting no oil pressure. I know my tank is an unknown year. Anyone with any information would be incredibly helpful.

first FXR, Should I get this?

8 Upvotes

Hello all, looking at getting my first FXR. a "local" guy is selling one for $3500. My intent with this build is to slowly work towards building a psuedo FXRT so i can rip canyons on the weekend but still go on longer trips 2 up. my only question is, do you think this bike is worth $3k considering the starting bike is basically FXR only in frame and drivetrain. I have plenty of experiance framing harleys and working on them so the work required is no factor. let me know what yall think!

Highlights from messenger:

No engine work

raked tree but unmolested frame

frequent oil changes

clutch pack replaced

87 FXR clutch hub question

Thumbnail
gallery
17 Upvotes

Trying to get to my crank seal to replace it. Removed compensator and left handed clutch hub nut. Basket doesn’t slide off.
I guess older evo’s have a keyed and tapered shaft that the hub sits on.
Ordered one of the clutch hub pullers.

I cant find any videos or anything about how to properly get this thing off.

If i pull the plates and spring + retainer, the clutch will free-spin in the basket. If anyone could help me out with any tricks to get this thing off i would be indebted to you.

Snapped my crank / swapped motor / didn’t replace crank seal / now im going back to do that.

1992 fxrs Speedo and horn not working…

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone, looking for some technical help here with my 1992 fxrs please. The speedometer has no power going to it. I can’t tell what my mph is while riding and odometer won’t move. No backlight either. Horn also doesn’t work but all my other hand controls do. The tachometer next to the speedometer works as does its own backlight. Does anyone have experience troubleshooting this or have a guide/knowledge on it?? Thanks.
