My bike is '92 FXLR Lowrider Custom. I bought it about a year ago from a 75 year old man and the bike had only 6,500 miles on it. When I got the bike it was slammed to the ground and had old PM wheels, pullback bars and was as 90's as it gets:
I had Works Performance make me some 13 3/4" Street Tracker shocks set up for my weight. I did Race-Tech fork springs, +2 tubes and 2000 later fork legs w/ 4 piston caliper. Black 13 spoke wheels, Corbin seat and some FXRS-SP bags.

nice score
on fxr's it is too bad the damn rear fender looks so goofy with the suspension set up properly like you've done , and dropping the fender just doesnt work right...what to do, what to do...
it's true. but nobody ever got an fxr cos they're pretty
Al, can i buy the original handle bar and speedo set up off you?

Steve, word... I know exactly what you mean and I just got used to it.
Jimmy, yes, I've come across a few FXR owners who were never really completely pleased with the basic looks. I was the same for the first few years I owned mine... just liked the ride, not so much the look. But then the look of the bike grew on me.
I'm lookin' for one right now. My buddy has been pitchin' me on 'em for years, but it took this long to realize that handling and slick looks rarely go hand in hand... and I've hit the ground enough that handling and solid performance far outweigh looks to me now. Viva los FXR's.
i just got one which was advertised on this site, it is an old coppers one with thunderheader s+s sundance lifters sporty heads etc man it fucking rocks, its no oil painting but everyone loves it. it has presence. and its got these high risers, which i never got . i thought they were just cosmetic. but now i understand.
yea, bars on an FXR really benefit from 6-8" risers, gives you the leverage to push the bike the way it likes to be pushed and puts your arms in the perfect position for cruising. I had a place called California Designs bend me my bars back in the he early 90's (kinda like a KN superbar, but broader and with less rise) and Randy at CCE made my 6" knuckle risers
perfect
