I posted photo but earlier post did not upload i guess.  This fxr3 is my first and only blue fxr3. I've owned other models but these are hard to find with low miles and good condition. Road her some today, handles best of most any harlies built. I;'ve heard they built total of 900 units, 450 green, 450 blue..but you only see green ones up for sale or at rallies..just few blue versions ever show up.  I just recently found 3 blue models up for sale, the one i purchsed, one in Austin, tx. and one in Pa. If anyone is interested i'll fill ya in on details of these other units. Again i feel these bikes handle so much better than current bikes..they should not have changed frame design for later model dynas.  It was cost saving move in building bikes so we are not getting the bang for the bucks in current bikes,  at least I feel that way. Plenty of work went into these first cvo's on frame no longer in production, where as new cvo's are dolled up regular production bikes ..just loaded w/ accessories and cost saving to consumer.  Oh , well..just happy to be back in fxr3 and enjoy it riding and handling!  Bye the way   most harley shops with new breed of sales folks don't even know what these bikes are.  I;'ve called  couple of them about one they have for sale and they dont even know they are cvo's.  Don't  know product they are selling!  Have good year of riding..start it out right  by getting on yours today and hit the road.....even if for just a few minutes...its good for ya..and good for the bike too!   dave

HDFXR3, Welcome to the site. Nice scoot.

Same with the 4's, except obviously Yellow vs. Tangerine. I have seen lots of Yellow's in my travels, but have never come accross another Tangerine like mine. I heard that production numbers for the 4 were also "around 900" - but I've heard the distribution favored Yellow with around 600 Yellow and only about 300 Tangerine. Does this explain why we don't see the Blues & Oranges that often? Is it even true? Who knows. Great bikes though, the best ever built.

There are several "rants" in this very section about that topic. We all have shared your experience with the Stealership guys, and we all left shaking our heads the same way you did.  :-/

It is amazing how little is known about them.  I never really was exposed to them until I came here.  Now I see a few around from time to time.  Someone in Charlotte has a Tangerine, and I see him rumble by once in a while.  Only one of those I have ever seen.  SWEET! [smiley=orange.gif]

Beautiful hdfxr. That's probably the best looking FXR Harley ever made. And the FXR's were the best rubber-mount street bike they made. That one looks like a keeper. If your asking, I like these bikes with mid-controls. But it depends on your riding style. JMO. Good luck with it. Great bike! ;) Hoist!  8-)
