This has been a very informative thread. Question, Does the FXR4 frame have both the forward shock mount boss and rearward boss?

Actually yes it does. 
But it is underneath the OEM CHROME STRUT….you would have to get the POLICE BIKE STRUT COVERS or DRILL YOUR CURRENT CHROME STRUT COVERS or purchase some other ones and drill those out to get to that strut….

Hopefully that makes sense…..but why would you want to do this, other than of course raising your suspension right?  Just make sure if you raise the back suspension (if you go through with this) THAT You ALSO have to raise the FRONT FORKS….or ELSE all of your rake and trail is going to be OUT OF KILTER….and guess what….NOW you are getting into some COMPLICATED geometry.  You would also most have to do a part for part replacement i.e.: pick the YEAR FXR that runs the shocks forward like you are thinking of doing and then matching the front fork part numbers to make sure the front is set up the same…..

Regards,

"Classic"

FXR2evo99,

I have to thank you personally for all of the information on the FXR! I did a simple search and found this forum and am very glad I did.
You see, my dad owned a lightly used 1994 FXRP-F with low miles - 14,373 when I acquired it yesterday, Thursday - 09/24/2015.
I have put a few hundred miles on it since and oh my! It is simply the best riding bike I have ever had the privilege to put my back side on!
It was an original Texas State Highway Patrol bike - a backup.. sold with only 2,940 miles when they upgraded the fleet. I am the 4th owner.
Oh what a find!
This is my project - to restore it from ground up this winter to the best of my abilities..

This picture was taken with my cell minutes after being uncovered after a 3 1/2 year storage.

Yup, all of my friends agree it should be called "Tweety Bird" even though it's Datsun yellow..


Again, thank you for your very informative work!

So far so good. I'm a little tall for the mid's so may have to convert to forward controls...

Have the same problem (6'2"), but I've also chosen FXR cause I sometimes want to ride hard... And with the mids you can do corners way better.
So I orderer one inch longer highway pegs what makes it more comfortable at longer rides an when I'm off the highway using the mids.

That's a nice one Cyco1450, I am building one from parts and would be interested in the mids if you change them for forwards,

About to buy my first bike and chose to get an 1987 FXLR.  It's been sitting in a garage for the past 5 years so this will keep me busy during winter since my engineering class load is finally starting to decrees.  Can't wait to get this old EVO apart and rebuilt, can't be anymore complicated than a motor change on an old C-130 or KC-135.  I'll keep you guys updated.
