Just got back a little while ago from picking up this '99 Blue Flame FXR3 in Fort Dodge, IA. Got to meet and have lunch with site member "mandm1" who turned me on to the bike which belonged to his next door neighbor. Both he and the bike's previous owner are stand-up folks and were a great deal of help throughout the process. The bike was represented very well and the entire deal went like clock-work. Thanks for making this happen, Blaine and Mike!
Also of great help was "hdfxr3." This guy knows his FXRs and is a wealth of information. Thanks, Dave!
So, to the bike . . . . . it has just under 6,700 miles on the clock. It's in very good condition . . . better than my SERG when I got it last fall. There is some extra do-dads and chrome on the bike, such as a Hypercharger, V&H pipes, chrome inner primary, chrome exhaust bracket, chrome lower cylinder covers and chrome front brake caliper cover. Bike also came with a detachable windshield and fork-mounted storage bag. The bike did come with the original air cleaner assembly, but I will be looking for a set of original exhaust, so if anyone knows where I can find a set, please let me know!
Probably a good 2 weeks before I'll get a chance to ride the thing and post a ride report, what with winter holding on 'til the bitter end around here, but I'm really excited to have a
Blue Flame FXR3 in the garage! I think it looks right at home with the other scooters.
Here are a few pics in the poor lighting of my garage. More to come after some daylight and some time spent detailing!
