6) I bought my FXR3 in Feb. 2000. A friend of mine bought one and I decided I needed one too. This bike was the very first Harley I've ever owned. I had always owned import bikes. Now I have acquired 4 Harleys. In addition to the FXR3, I have a 2007 FLTRI Road Glide, 2000 XL883C Sportster, 1986 FXRD Grand Touring Edition. I guess I'm hooked.
7) I wouldn't say I've done any major modifications other than, Crane Fireball cam, Taperlite pushrods, High flow Doherty air cleaner, 2-1 Thunderheader, Mustang seat and Memphis Shades windshield. The motor was rebuilt at 5000 miles under warranty supposed do to running synthetic oil in it to early. This was done by the original owner. I bought it used with 5000 miles and a newly rebuilt motor. Unfortunately the dealer neglected to tell me it had just been rebuilt and so the rings did not get properly set. It started going through a quart of oil every 700 miles which I was actually told by a Harley service person "was exceptable". Wasn'r exceptable to me, so I had a local shop pull the cylinders, hone them out and re-ring. Rings got properly set and no more oil consumption.
