Well I have done a couple of projects to my Arresting Red 1999 FXR2.....and who knows perhaps it may help someone.....some of you may know that the 1999 FXR2's were brought out with the 21" laced wheel, I decided that perhaps a 19" a buddy of mine thought that the 19" would be a more "balanced" look and that it would handle better, so when I purchased this bike in 2005 I purchased a 19" wheel laced wheel and put it up in my attic for a "future" project. Some of you may realize that the 2000 FXR4 did come with the 19" laced wheel in front with 2 rotors....this same buddy "spotted" a brand new FXR3 primed fender which had never been installed so I got it on ebay for $44.00. So what you see in the photos with the 19" laced wheel is also a arresting red FXR3 fender. I JUST got it back from my painter and he painted it "blind" without a paint code, as most of us know, the FXR2's, FXR3's, and FXR4's are "restricted paint" colors....so he did a perfect job....the cost for painting the fender was $100.00. Only one of the original FXR models was produced from 1982- 1994 had the 21" laced front wheel.....do you guys know which one?
