Hi Jonny D

Well, I saw that motorcycle in the showroom of a local HD Dealership about two years, by chance while browsing the web.  I contacted them but they weren't sure at that time whether they were going to sell the bike because it belonged to the owner and was part of his private collection. So I left it that way until I saw it advertized for sale in the Canadian Auto-Trader On-line Magazine. Needless to say that I immediately jumped on the phone and contacted them. Made them an offer which was accepted. 

It's not my first FXR; I had three of them beginning with a used 92 FXRS that I rode for 3 years. Sold that one to buy a Yellow Pearl FXR4 which was owned by a firefighter who rode it for about a year- Hey that scoot was like new! I sold that one in May of this year. That was my big mistake! Thank God I got my hands on this Tangerine marvel. Planning to keep it stock and ride the hell out of it. 

Cheers

That's sweet that you found one brand new.  Are you going to do any modifications to it?  I found that my the one I've been riding, which had 7,715 miles on it when we got it, rides like a flying sofa.  We've got compression damping but hardly any rebound.  The 11.5" rear shock bottom out all the time.  Solid running bike, but just the other day the quick detach seat bolt rattled off (but I found that one) and today I lost a head bolt cover.  Bummer, but the joys of riding a motorcycle overshadow the loss of parts.


No modifications bro- I'll keep it pure stock!

Cool, thanks for sharing. Have a feeling a FXR3 or 4 is in my future.

Stock is good too.  I'm sure we'd have kept it closer to stock had we had the original exhaust system.  The Samson's look good but are way too loud.

They are definitely sweet bikes.  Had I read this thread before, I would've know you were going to keep it stock.  I've been getting all kinds of compliments on our Screamin' Yellow Pearl one.  Looks great out in the sun too.  Have fun riding your super great find!

Agree. The Screaming Yellow is more brillant and looks greater in the sun than the Candy Tangerine color. Enjoy and take good care!

Going to put new tires on it and do the rest of the servicing required to put it in service and enjoy it?  Or will it still be a static diplay?

You bet, fresh liquids and new tires are going on that machine; that will definitely not be a trailor queen! I intend to ride the hell out of it!

Can I ask what you paid for it?

I prefer to keep it confidential, no offence!

Lonestar HD in Winnipeg just sold the owner's 0 mile FXR4. It has been for sale for a couple of years. In 09 he was asking 26k and most recently it had a sticker on it for 19,900. It had been at that price for almost a year.
I now see a 0 mile FXR4 advertised in Ontario for 35K!!!Firm!!  Check kijiji in the Ontario (Ottawa); just listed today.

Is there a connection?  Inquiring minds want to know!    :0)

I also noticed the kijiji listing and it has the pictures from this Ottawa bike. I don't think it is a coincidence...
