Stopped by the dealer to check on the FXR3 yesterday. I had dropped it off the weekend before for 1) Ness Big Sucker (with stock A/C cover), 2) replace transmission top and clutch release covers (pitted), 3) new shoes (OEM Dunlop Elite S/Ts not available any longer, so went with standard fare H-D branded Dunlop 401s), 4) 5,000 mile service with brake bleeding and fork oil replacement, and 5) repair and repaint of rear fender to eliminate some scratches and a dent where the seat mounts. The bike was without the rear fender when I saw it, but is otherwise looking SWEET! Should be back together and home by next Saturday and I'll post pics. then.
Note that the ribbed clutch relase covers are a discontinued piece.
Mine is coming from a dealer who had some NOS pieces, so if originality is a concern for you, better check around! I will take my original cover and have it re-chromed to keep as a spare.
On a related note, I scored some sideplates on eBay because mine has some slight surface rust on them. These are also discontinued. So, the originals will go to the plater along with the clutch release cover and then in a box to save for . . . . . . whenever.
Surprised to see some relatively common (and non-CVO specific) parts becoming difficult to find for these early CVOs.
