1992 FXRS Low Rider

One of the cool aspects of these next 4 photos was that these were taken outside of the WI HD plant....
The FXRS Low Rider's last year was 1992.

1992 FXRS Low Rider

It is the 1988 - 1992 FXRS Low Rider Model that has the same tank panel & instrument housing as the 1999 FXR2's & 1999 FXR3's, with the only difference being of course the 1988 - 1992 FXRS Low Rider's tank panel and instrument housing was finished in "wrinkle black". The FXR4's have a similar tank panel however the FXR4's featured an electronic speedometer/odometer thus they did not have a "manual" knob to reset the odometer.

Elvislee....

Thanks for posting the photos of the 85' "Candy Glide" I know historically that many didn't seem to like this particular color but I would certainly enjoying seeing it in person before making my final decision....It seems quite appealing from all of the photos presented above and even earlier in this thread.....and there weren't many of them made!

Hey man, gimme a break! I'm looking for a Blue 3, and I'm gonna keep it Blue too! How do ya like them apples! :P ;D ;)

But don't expect me to leave it stock. As you know, I'm one to make these things riders, not collectibles. I know it needs Traxxion/bitubos, PM DB calipers, Flanders street bars with 6" risers, ME tires, hmm, what else?














A little help with the motor!!! :huepfenjump3: :huepfenjump3: :huepfenjump3:

You won't know just HOW BAD it needs the Traxxion/Bitubo treatment until you ride one. :shocked2:  The amount of dive in the front forks is incredible.  It'll be the first one of my bikes that I do . . . hopefully, sometime next spring.

Hey Brian, all HD forks need em, especially narrow glides! ;)

BTW, the FXR3 have a standard ht. or lowered suspension? I was hoping it uses the 13's (13.5? :confused5:) in the rear. Ya know how it comes stock? Pics look like Profile shocks in the rear. Thanks! :2vrolijk_21:
