I have both the '92 brochure and a '92 FXRS Low Rider and yes, the brochure says it has a 4.5 gal tank, and yes, it does indeed have one in reality, as I have never run out of gas, but I have filled mine with as much as 4.4 gallons of gas.

Thank you mp.......have had many discussions over the 4.5 - 4.2 gallon question in the 19 yrs. I've ridden my '92 FXRS Lowrider.

Did a front fork changeover on the 113" bike......it came with a dual disc wide-glide, and is now a dual disc narrow-glide (Showa)...
Has been cold here and haven't put a plate on it yet.....will post pics when it's warm enough to ride.....
Your question......it's a hoot to ride, and should handle like a FXR should with the narrow-glide......good fork guts, and a fork brace....happy trails!

Fabulous history lesson! I am the owner of a 1991 and 1994 FXLRC's and have a question regarding the gas cap. Neither of them have a gauge on the cap, they are just plain chrome. The question is what did the bike come with? Was it just the plain chrome or did it come with some type of gauge originally and possibly these are not original? The bikes prior to some modifications were mostly stock so I assumed the caps were also..but maybe not.

Thank you again for a such a wonderful history lesson!

Hello Heidi, and welcome......believe your fuel caps were plain, but chromed.....
Agree with you on the amount of FXR history and trivia here.....entertaining and informative too......enjoy!

Just wondering if anyone knows why Harley put a chain drive (final) on my 86 FXR Superglide?   

[mp]

Well, the FXR took over the stripped-down Super Glide title that year from the FXE, the last of the four-speed Super Glides, and I guess the open chain, as opposed to the enclosed chain or the belt drive, was part of the stripped styling.  And probably cheaper.

FXR3, were there only 64 of the blue flame models built?

Just FYI, my '86 FXRS Liberty I had discussed and posted photos of on pages 9 & 10 of this thread is for sale if anyone is interested.  Just send me a PM through this web site and I'll get you the details and a way to contact me where spammers can't get my phone number or email

Your fxr history was exactly what I needed to restore my FXRS-CON. The best about FXR I ever read. And here is the result:







Many thanks and regards from the river Rhine

Hi,

This is my first post here.  A lot of great info in this thread.  Thanks.

I recently bought an '87 FXLR 10th Anniversary Edition.  

I called HD to try and find out what color it was supposed to be since all the pictures I had seen
were two-tone while mine was a solid candy orange-ish, red-ish color.  After giving John at HD my
VIN, he asked where I got it.  At first I though, crap, it's stolen or something.  But he informed me
that it was an "Inc." bike.  So I replied, "What the hell is that?"  Evidently, it was originally titled and
licensed to HD as an exec. bike.  My first question.  Who rode it?  He wouldn't/couldn't tell.

All he could tell me about the bike was that the color was candy bronze and there were 420 ( ) 10th Anniv.
bikes built in '87.  He could not figure out why the bike was not the standard two-tone.  

Anybody have any more information on this bike?  I would love to hear it.  

BTW, restoring the bike as original as I possibly can.

Thanks.

Congrats on having perhaps the most definitive FXR history available on the web.  I recently came across a 1994 FXRP-F and found out the first time I rode it what all the fuss was about.  Amazing machine.  In your history, you have the police models stopping production before 94.  My VIN and the factory service manual police supplement beg to differ. 

Just a minor heads up......  This is a great resource!

Welcome aboard FXRP-F.  Did a siren come with that baby?  spyder

Nope..... but I got a button for one. 

[spydglide]

Nope..... but I got a button for one. 

Most places it's not illegal to have one mounted on the bike, it's just illegal to operate it.  Just sayin' is all.  har.  spyder
