Painted Mohawk SASS 77785 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Howdy I 've had a couple of motorcycles that I've just never got aound to finishing so I did a deal with my son & gave him the bikes & all the extras for this 1985 FXR. It is a bitza as it now has a 99 engine [ still the EVO..I reckon there bullet proof ] Original tranny & primary, chain drive, dakota digital speedo, street lamp tail & indicator lights, King Sporty tank, slash cut pipes & now converted from electronic to points ignition..still has the CV carby & I will probably change the standard air cleaner. It was a USA import & this is the first time registered in OZ. A lot of other mods have been done, engine hasn't been touched from what I can tell, goes well !! It will be parked next to my 1996 FXD Dyna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken Rustler, SASS #26680 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I like it! The only thing I ca'nt figure out is why you gave away the FXR and kept the FXD, but I bet your son is surely not complaining! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question, did this rear bar come on the bike or is it an add on? Is it part of the frame? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howdy Pat..Yes that was a mod done to the frame along with the rear guard..the bike was originally a personal import by a guy in Melbourne [ Victoria ]..don't know what happened to the motor as it now has a 99 Evo out of a FL springer Softail..I just need to sort out the rear brake as everything else seems ok..I'm not usually into a lot of chrome but I'm getting hooked on this one !!

Two great looking bikes! I heard legends about the FXR frame and how well it rides, but I sure had some fun rides in the twisties on my FXD.
