Picked this up a couple weeks ago, 18000 miles. Needs some TLC, so I've been working on it. Aluminum was in bad shape. so painted motor, trans, inner primary, engine/trans/primary covers, lower legs etc., going out for powder coating.

Disassembled for paint PC etc. Used VHT flameproof coating on the drivetrain.

I'm sure it will look great when done!

Awesome!  Looking forward to seeing your progress.

I'll keep my eye on this one, too.  The FXRP was one heck of a bike.  There was a great local Harley mechanic in K'ville that rode one of these with a sidecar.  Larry was a hoot on that bike and one heck of a mechanic (he had a couple US patents with the MoCo...smart feller).  He's gone but not forgotten.

Good luck on the build.  I look forward to the progress and completion as I know you do.....

Nice, I can't wait to see it when you have her done.

[Ridgerunr]

Progress will slow some as $$$$ are short at the moment, and this has become like a peeling an onion, LOL. Needs a lot of TLC.
I will update, thanks for the interest.

SWEET!!

Removed the front end last week, this is what greeted me when I removed the fork cap. Doubt the forks were serviced in the last 24 years.

Paint coming along, powder coat also. Been busy rebuilding forks, replacing motor mount, rear swingarm isolators, etc. etc.

That's going to be really nice Ridgerunr! Well done... I went through the same thing with my '86 FXR, but it was a few ago now. Frame out powder-coat, engine rebuild, new paint, etc. Looking forward to seeing the final version.

[FLSTFI Dave]

Wow!  That is going to be really sweet John.  Can't wait to see it when your done.
