OK
It's working.
Like I said, I never really posted before...
Anyway, I was always looking at the FXR. I heard such great things about her, I thought maybe I CAN BOND with a swing arm.
I put around 15000 miles combined on my bikes each year. I travel from NY to FT BRAGG, FT BENNING, TO FT PLOK - All over, and usually on the ridged 113 or the PAN.
Well I came across an FXR4 about 6-8 months ago for a steal. They guy had bought it from his son, his son was supposed to pay him back, it sat for 3 years in a garage, then I came along and bought it. Cleaned out the carb, changed the plugs, and gave her some fresh oil and gas, and voala!! She was awake. She had just over 10,000 miles on her.
Someone had put raked trees on her and forward controls. Aside from that it was stock. I threw on a set of XL trees and legs to bring her back to the way god intended. Now I am hunting for the MIDS to throw back on her. I have the brackets but NOT the internals to go into the Primary. Everything else I think I can fab.
I already ripped the motor down and sent the heads out for massaging, got my woods cam, the RB Pipe is under my bed and the Mikuni and Ignition are in the garage. I want her to stay 80 inches and still kick the chit out of the 96 Twinkies!!
I am pulling off the sheet metal to preserve it (Yellow is not really me), and I am going to try to make a nice tank for her, and throw on a NESS fairing my bro gave me when I cam home.
