New FXR3 Rider
« on: March 10, 2005, 06:51:35 AM »
I guess I'm the new guy now. Last week I purchased my first Harley - a FXR3. It's the green version, and has only 950 miles on it. The thing is spotless, and I knew I had a deal when I saw it online. I don't actually get to ride my bike for about a year, because I'm over here in Iraq with the Army.

I'd like to get more general info about the FXR, as well as some particulars. I'd like to put saddlebags on, but I'm not sure what type of brackets and bags to get in order to clear the shocks. Any ideas? Any other necessary upgrades you guys can think of?

I've never been fortunate to get to ride one of the FX CVO bikes.

Thank you for serving our great country.  It's because of people like you in the military, that all of us on this site have the freedom to ride our bikes.  Congrats on the new bike.

Thanks for all of the advice. I think I'm going to go with a pair of leather bags I found on the HD sight. I'm hoping to get home in September for R&R and get a few rides in. After that it will be back to fighting the good fight for a few more months until I come home for good. I'm stationed in Georgia, but ride up to Virginia and the Blue Ridge Parkway as often as I can. Please pass any other advice my way, and let me know of any good rides in 2006!

Oh yeah - thanks for all of the support. We're fighting for America, and we appreciate all the Patriots back there who support us and what we do.

Hey Josh, you've stumbled in to a pretty good group of folks here who will also, in that same vein, occasionally give you a fair amount of good natured bovine fecies.  In that vain (bovine fecies) let me just say that if you need anyone to make sure that FX gets washed and waxed and her oil changed and that she gets ridden enough to keep her limbered up and ready for you than you just let me know.  It'd be my honor to help another guy out that way   [smiley=laugh.gif] .  Just to show what a good guy I can be there wouldn't even be any charge for all that help and love.   Not even one thin dime.  [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

How do ya like that.  Just trying to help out a brother by offering to pamper his bike and get zinged on 752,821 free meals I'm going to be stuck for in the Smoky Mountains again.  Parts of me are getting so worried that I'm going to pucker up so tight that Corbin seat won't make it all the way there  [smiley=nervous.gif]

Wow - you know you've come across a good group when they offer to keep your bike "warm" for you while your gone! All that TLC for my bike at no charge, I must be a lucky guy.
