...actually it's a '92 FXLR Low Rider Custom. What sets the FXLR apart from most other FXR's is 3 key elements: the stock 21" front wheel, solid 16" rear and it's slight rake which is what initially attracted Sam to this very bike. But after 13 years of ownership, it's turned into much more than that.
Being a 20 year employee of H-D of Westminster, CA and one of their main/senior techs, you can bet that Sam has done a bit more than your usual bolt-on affair. He's completely gone through his engine more than once and has rebalanced the stock flywheels with S&S rods, high comp pistons, a 580 cam and Branch heads."I don't know how many times it's been called a Dyna or Sportster."
"Most people don't know what they're looking at or talking about."
This is the way this FXLR has looked from the first time I laid eyes on it 6 years ago and it's been more or less untouched for almost 10 years now.
I dig Sam; he's an old school hard ass that knows what he digs and stays with it. I can imagine that he'll be with this bike for decades to come. More FXR and Dyna's coming soon!
