Nice. Seems so odd to see a bike being returned to stock by someone here.

Of course, removing a hyper charger could be viewed as rescuing the bike from terminal fuglyness rather then returning it to stock!  It's all perspective!

Guess you do have a point, however it's more fun to mess w/Brian when I can.

Stock is good on these classic CVOs.  Terminal fugliness ( ) is not.

Ahhhhh . . . . . that's better!

Well, it ain't an S&S Teardrop Brian, but it looks so much better now. I always disliked those Hyperchargers!

Hoist!

I did not realize so many people harbored such ill feelings for the Hyperchargers.

There are only a few mods I thought needed to be made to mine. Cosmetics really. Lay-down plate bracket. Swapped out the directionals, and switched the oval mirrors to round. Did put an S&S horseshoe breather on it, but we fabricated a steel bracket to mount the stock air cleaner cover for aesthetics.

I think the FXR3s are some of the best looking bikes off the floor HD has ever made. With the exception of the things I changed.

Leave 'em as close to stock as possible. Heads turn, and people ask.  Hell...seeing ANY FXR is becoming rare now. Most people have no idea what it is when you say "FXR"...Not just the CVOs but "FXR" is a foreign word to a lot of alleged riders.

Love what you've done...that Hypercharger took away from the bike.

I see pattern developing on returning to stock. I'm happy you removed  the hypercharger! I just logged 200 miles on my blue fxr3 yesterday. Smooth riding rubber mounted cvo evo. ..and you don't see yourself coming and going either. I guess i'll have to find Hoist one of these..since i see he is looking for one. I have pretty fxr4 yellow bike for sale now for 11,000. it has 5k miles..and only mod is se pipes and mikuni carb!

Dave, I saw your eBay auction for that bike awhile back.  It looked great in the photos and had me wondering how I could pull off a 4th bike with the missus.   That bike would make somebody a great scoot!

As far as going back to stock, yes, at this point I have everthing back to stock except the chrome lower belt guard, V&H pipes and the chrome primary.  The primary is the original one that had been chromed and it looks OK, but I'd like to eventually go back to the black wrinkle powdercoated original look.  I removed a few other trinkets of chrome since getting the bike like the front caliper cover and cylinder base covers - just didn't think they looked right on the bike (even though it was CHROME! ).   I like the pipes and the belt guard, though.  Those will probably always stay!
