Well I've put the ol girl on the trailer and she at the shop. She's been neglected and I feel guilty. So she's in for a face lift and a tuck to become road worthy.
-
Been search up part for her which is not easy as the 84 has some part unique to just that year. However I did find a couple of unusual Harley part to put on her such as this new center console
-
a rear brake cylinder cover
-
and a hex head oil plug
-
The motor was really showing her age
-
so I had em remove some parts to be chromed and paint the rest.
-
Painting the tins too
-
Hope to have her done by mid March. Just trying to get the economy moving again!
JW

I'll be dropping in a cam but no head work at this time. Going to let my son ride it for the year then see what else I might want to do. I am putting new Progressive 412's on
-
and have to spend some time on polishing up the rear wheel!
-
I'm happy the way the motor and tranny came out. That's all for now.
JW

Nice bike, wish I still had mine. I remember the dealer telling me not to wait for a belt drive to come out because of the rubber mounted motor...and you know what happened in in 85. Other than that I think it was the best Harley I ever had and I've have had several since. :2vrolijk_21: Doc
-
They truly are impressive scooters. I've always been amazed how fast they scoot making so little power. And are they ever nimble! Harley really had one heck of a frame and bike with these! I know the paint will fade / darken some with use but I can not get over how much better she looks. :huepfenjump3: ;) ;D
JW
-
Can't wait to see the finished product!
I look at these old FXR's all the time.
Best of luck in finding the parts you need and just remember when your done,
:worthless:

Thanks Chip! Will do on the pics.

nice bike bro! how many miles on her?
I had a 1986 softail custom, had the 2 piece rim in the back like yours.
only a few bikes came with that wheel.
cant wait to see it done

It will be sweet getting her on the road. Now I'm trying to figure out how to tell my son I was kidding about giving him the bike! :D Naw, I let him ride her until he can get his own! Then it's back to Papa! :huepfenjump3:

I thought about posting in the FXR section but that really is for the CVO models. Heck this scooter was before the MoCo thought about making CVO's. That's why I notified the FXR brotherhood (sisters too) in the FXR chatter. I'm cool with where ever the Mods think it belongs. I was just guessing!
I'm going to try something a little different for the handlebars. With the gauges mounted on the bars, pull back risers are pretty much out of the question. I had these old Deuce bars lying around so I'm going to mount them for now. A wee bit of the knurling may show but I can't beat the price for now.
-
I had pull back risers on mine and it worked fine. The only other mod I made was to get rid of that ei and replaced it with points with a mechanical advance. I got rid of the brain and that space and cover was replaced with a Harley lockable tool kit which fit right in and looked great. Doc

Good deal Jeff...How ya going on the paint? Ya gonna go as she is or change a bit? I also agree with Tim; shoulda been in the FXR Section. Our Fxr's are CVO's but they be Fxr's first. Best to ya on this project and can't wait to see her when she's done :2vrolijk_21:
Oh...I meant to tell ya I got a set of Sportster bars that I have on my Fxr4 and I'm pulling them off as they don't work for me as far as comfort is concerned. With my arthritis ; I have been getting pain in my right wrist and shoulder since putting them on; so If you think you might want them for the Fxr then you can have them. Check out Tim's bike in this thread and tell me if you think they'll work for you and they be yours...No charge my Fxr brother...LMK :2vrolijk_21: http://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php?board=9.0

The center console was listed as a Harley Davidson Dash Panel w/Custom Louver Panel p/nHD-61414-82, obsolete. I've never seen one before. The louver area is attached to the lower panel area. Unique looking.

Check eBay. Got em new for $179 delivered.
As for chroming the rear wheel. Being retired now, I'm watching the molla just a little more. It may still happen, just not quite yet.

Black diamond: I'm just now catching up with this thead/project. Good for you for keeping a FXR on the road. I'm enjoying watching this--along with Howie's various projects.
About chroming that wheel--it sure would look good. Have you gotten a price on that task? Or you can always be patient and watch ebay.

Jeff is correct even though it is an FXR the board in Custom Vehicle Discussion is for the CVO FXR's. For those of you that don't venture out of the FXR board and want to keep abreast of this build I suggest you use the new Bookmarks (http://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php?topic=31903.0) (<- Click that link) feature and save this thread for future reference.

I've all ways loved this bike. I got caught up in work back in the day and neglected her. But I never let her go even tho several have made offers. It will be great to be in the wind on her again. I mean see my son on her... :huepfenjump3: :) :D ;D
You don't find these rear master cylinder covers just lying around anymore.

Your right about that. After digging up old pics, it looks like I ditched the guages for the pull backs and installed a small spedo. It was a hoot looking through those old pics though. I'll scan and post tonight. Doc

The kids are my nephew and niece on the bike in Laughlyn Nv. Their kids are about this age now. Notice the pull backs with small speedo, tool box instead of brain and cover, and aftermarket fender. God I miss that bike. It's good to see some folks keep and take care of them. Good luck on your Restoration, it's worth it. :2vrolijk_21: :2vrolijk_21: Doc

If been working on narrowing down my cam choices for several weeks/months now. If read a bunch, talked with Tim, Mike, Scoot and others. I had narrowed it down to the Andrew EV27 and Wood W6.
Grind Timing(*) Duration Valve TDC
.053 Lift
EV27 20/36 236 0.495 0.148
46/14 240 0.495 0.166
W6 20/40 240 0.510 0.189
42/18 240 0.510 0.178
The EV27 is a very good cam. However I know me well enough...I will be having the heads milled and a valve job done next year. The W6 should respond to this over a broarder torque range than the EV27. Of course by next year I mean perhaps this summer if I happen to be riding by Scott @ Hillside and have the money to get her done.
Anyone looking for a new EV27 let me know...got one for sale. SOLD
Good excuse for a rode trip as any reason I can think of. Besides I'll get the girlfriend to ride along on her new Nightster. Also the special paint edition Heritage Softail off to the right was bought by my daughters friend.

Got a little more done on the restoration / build. Got the base Vivid Black on the sheet metal with several layers of clear coat on. All ready for the airbrush design.
-
These side covers were chrome but very weathered. Sand blasted them down to allow the paint to stick. Once finished the metal side covers should look better than painted plastic covers I had intended on using. Or so I'm told. ::)
-
Mounted the Deuce handlebars with new mirror, chrome levers and Roland Sands grips. I mounted the seat and tryed them out. Much better than the OEM buckhorns. Knuckles in the wind position I like. I still think I mount 4" straight risers to bring em back some more but much improved.
-
Oh ya, chrome instrument covers too!
-
Progressive 412's mounted
-
That's pretty much it for now. The Wood W6 will be installed next week. The painting may be done by the end of next week. Can't wait to get her home and the weather breaks. There only predicting 2 - 4 inches of snow tonight!
I had em take paint the oil tank while it was out also. And I brought home some more used parts for the garage.

Looking good.....nice very nice....... :2vrolijk_21:
when you painted the engine did they "powder coat" it or something else?
So I notice the photos showing this work being done in what appears as a motorcycle shop.....so are you doing the work or having it done?
You know what's so awesome about what you are doing.....is you are taking something that you have some passion about and bringing it back how fun is that......I can think of very few models in the HD line up that create this sort of commitment vs simply selling and starting over........
So a W6 IN A older bike eh? ? ? ? Are you going to put some SE heads on?

Hey Tim
Me with wrenches.... :o only on the most basic stuff. I'm great at kick in doors, set up a breach, etc. Fixin stuff is not my forte! I'm a change the oil and plugs guy.
The motor was painted. It came out great. They have a motor they painted 5 years ago still looking great.
I plan on staying with the stock heads, getting milled and a good valve job. Should fit the ticket. First I just want to get her back in the wind and reliable. My son's signed up for his motorcycle basic course so he'll be ready when she is. It's good to pass on my passion for riding to my kids. But it does make it necessary I get my bikes back from them. :P
Did you notice I had em move the turn signals down to the trees. Going to try that look for now. Waiting on some chrome parts to come back, air brush design and button her up. Of course we just got 2 more inches of snow and it gusting at 25 - 30 mph so no hurry. I'm done with winter! >:( >:(

Went to the Harley shop with the intent on assisting in my rebuild as one of the tech's is at bike week making molla on the side. I had ordered a kit of polished stainless bolts for the rebuild. Well as this is an old scooter, the kit is no longer made, even though it is listed in their catalog. I forgot the name of the company but they check several other companies and the story is the same. So they will next day them to the shop but I can not be there.
We did start on installing the Wood W6 by putting on the original gear and placing it in the compartment. I'm not pretending to be a mechanic. I just listened and watched but not much was done without the bolts.

I wish we could have accomplished more but what are you going to do :nixweiss:

The other thing that was very distracting was the 09 CUSE4 in Silver and Blue being put together. If I was to grow up and wanted a fairing, that would be the scooter for me! You can't really see her very well in this picture but I kept finding myself standing over there looking at her.
JW
-
Well I won't have to worry about that 09 Silver CUSE tempting me. It sold as soon as they rolled her onto the showroom floor. I have to admit, I was trying to figure out how I could "justify" buying her. Which means I was damn close to putting money out as there's only me to have this conversation with!! Close call on that one. Whew! :o :o

Update:
Still waiting for the airbrush dude. Got some of the chrome on so I thought I'd share a few pics. These are mostly the OEM parts sent out for chroming.

and to have some contrast (and it was cheap) I had the forks black powder coated!

of course this will just lead to needing to get a chrome axle / nut but oh well...

The Wood W6 is installed. Mostly just need the painted parts. If the turn signals won't hit the tank, I'll move them down the triple tree to the brace. That all for now.

Finally got with the air brush dude and started laying out the design. I may get a scooter home to ride sometime next week. So now it'll snow for sure!

I can't say for an S&S, but the one on the mikuni is about like that.... except that it's black
I route it down behind the pushrod tubes on the rear cyclinder and drop it between the engine and the tranny .... don't notice it too much .... try changing it out to a black tube

Beautiful paint, Jeff.... Gonna be a smokin ride! :2vrolijk_21:
Thanks Scott. Can't wait to get her home and surprize my son with it. As luck would have it he's leaving for air mobile school Sunday. Both he and my daughter will be here on or around the 24th. I get to present it to him with her here also. Sometimes I have some luck too.

I can't say for an S&S, but the one on the mikuni is about like that.... except that it's black
I route it down behind the pushrod tubes on the rear cyclinder and drop it between the engine and the tranny .... don't notice it too much .... try changing it out to a black tube
Thanks for the idea.
I gotta get one of them HD plugs for the top of my oil pump .... you get that at HD ?
I got it on eBay real cheap but I believe it's still in the catalog. Hex Head Oil Pump Plug w/Bar & Shield Logo 26260-95

ya know, those grips would look good with Candy Tangerine .... jus sayin'
you got a source ?
do they make matching foot pegs ?
Thanks !!
The grips are Roland Sand Tracker Grips. They're price but I need to show the ol girl some love.
I did not look for matching foot pegs but I also do not remember seeing them listed. His web site is a PIA.

REAL NICE JEFF !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ya did GOOD man !! Totally awesome, you can be PROUD for sure !!!
I'll tell ya, I'm not much on skulls and/or flames ..... but I really like the way your stuff is looking ..... I could handle that on a bike of mine !! Outstanding design and high quality work !!!
I'm happy the way she came out. My new lady really helped me when I was trying to come up with what I wanted. Now to just get her (the scooter) buttoned up and in the wind. I'm sure glad I decided to fix her up, I've had several guys begging me to let her go as I wasn't riding her. I know, I'm hanging my head in shame. I could not let her go, never will.

Great looking build Jeff, good to see the FXRs accepted by the younger riders too. Some of us 'old birds' have been on to a good thing for a long time. Your pics are getting me thinking too. Was able to get two pics of my scoot on 'FXR Chatter' - page 34, and wanted to thank you for helping me.....take care, Greg

I got my ol' gal back home tonight. She looks great. The W6 cam comes on like gang busters. The progressive 412 and heavy fork oil makes her ride better than ever. The custom paint and painted motor look damn good. And of course the chrome sets her off.
Here's some pics

It was dusk when I took these so the pics don't do the paint job justice. I'm very happy with the way she came out. My son's not going to believe it the same bike when I hand him the keys.
Of course she comes back to me when he's ready to buy his own!

Well I rode the ole Low Glide all around the county today.
The Wood W6 cam is quiet. I've read on a number of other sites that this cam is a little noisy. I'd say not. I do not notice any difference noisewise from the factory cam. However, when you get into the cam (2100 - 2200 rpm) she takes right off. She runs strong all the way to the limiter. I would recommend this cam to anyone for an Evo. I'm told she'll be even better after the heads are milled a bit.
I'm going to have to replace the straight risers with pullbacks. I like the flat hand position of the Deuce bars but I'm still having to reach too far. I'm have to adjust the gauge mount by straighten the lip in a press. A little black wrinkle paint should make it look right.
I'll have to get back in the habit of turning the gas on. Embarrassing to have someone telling you what a nice bike you have and then it sputters and dies.
The Progressive 412 shocks put the OEM's to shame. Very responsive and smooth. The 35mm front forks are still a weakness, even with heavier oil. Wonder if Ricor makes a IAS for them?
Finally I have a rattle I'm trying to track down. At first I thought it was my old butt however I'm checking around the heat sheilds once she cools.
I fell in love all over again for this FXR. Keats, you gotta ride this baby. And she's pretty too.

Here's a couple pictures of the gauge mount. Where it attaches is at angle so the gauges face you. With pullback risers the face of the gauges will be looking more towards the tank. If anyone has any ideas, let me know.

Thanks Howie. It sucks being built like the Tazmanian Devil, short arms & legs w/ big torso. ;D I'm looking at bars as a solution also. Of course I've been doing that for the SERK for going on two years. :nixweiss:

I wasn't being a wise ass, really I wasn't. Just wondered if there were a set of bars available that would allow you to keep the riser you have?
I now all about the handlebar trek. Spent the last two years looking for a set for the SERK to no avail now I can start over with the SERG :huepfenlol2:

Never took it as you being a wise ass brother!
I went with these bars as I already owned em and liked em. But I'll figure something out.
Now I've heard it can get irritating trying to find the right set of handlebars but I never considered just trading in the entire bike for another one! :o :o :o
Yes I AM being a wise ass! :2vrolijk_21:

if you go with pullback risers, you can "adjust" the angle of the guage bracket.

I was just thinking about using beveled spacers to do just that. Is this what you were thinking?
JW

i was thinking changing the angle of the existing bend on the bracket. put it in a vise and heat it up a bit, then gently bend till its at the angle you want

Got the gang together and went to my son's house to present him with the ol girl. We woke him up (3rd shift deputy) to see his sister up from Ft. Hood, Texas. He was expecting her to show up in her truck but instead pulled in on Eve.

This is his shocked look. We are not an overly expressive family.

Handing off the keys

Finally a reaction! It just takes him a minute to take it all in.

Now: "The rest of the story"
I was at work one day back when my son was +2 years old. He was in the garage playing with his tool set. He took out a "toy" hammer. Back then toys were made to last so it was made of metal.
He hit the gas tank 33 times chipping the paint and leaving small dimples like hail damage.
His mother (my ex) could not explain how he got 33 strikes in before she could intervene. I sat down with some Jack Daniels and reflected for hours!
In this photo, I just reminded him what he did to that gas tank 23 years ago.
JW
-
and his sister just presented him the rusty hammer found out in the woods (I guess maybe I threw it???)
JW
-
Since the son is gone to drill weekend, it was time to show Eve some love too.
The S&S tear drop air cleaner cover is nice but a little bare.
-
So I dressed it up a little bit. Besides she is now a screamin eagle even tho Screamin Eagle's were not made until she was already 15 years old!
JW
-
and just a touch to the oil tank.
-
It's the little things!

Last fall my son crashed while we were out riding. He was on his (my old) 84 FXR. Got into a curve to aggressive. Down they went. My son landed on his head. Since his head is from my family tree, he was fine. Scooter..not so much

Thank you sir. Can't wait for my turn to ride her again. While she was getting her face lift, had the top end taken down, bored the cylinders .010 over, new pistons and milled the heads .080. She's going to be a runner!

Got her back today. Crappy day so no new pics yet.
Dynoed her:
80" Evo
Wood 6 cam
S&S E carb
Cycle Shack M pipes
9.8 - 1 compression
85 tq / 81 hp
SAE 0.98
Goes like hell and fun to ride. Just turn on the gas, turn the key and go. So much easier than today's scooters in some respects.
