Mods to my 1987 FXR Low Rider Sport 

Thank you!

Neil eR thank you!

Thanks man! This video is a bit older, check out my latest video if you want to see how much further I’ve gone with the build. Same bar and clamp setup though!

There are videos of it running.

@@magz7274I see its now totally a different bike not an og evo

Nice ride, have a 93 FXRS-SP, just added same kit, really cleans thing up. How did you wire fuel gauge ?

Josh M I had the Legend Axeo Cartridge Kit in my Dyna. There was nothing wrong with it, but it was way more expensive than the Racetech setup, and the Racetech out performs it.

13.5”

After seeing this comment… I am immediately questioning everything. Answer 1: I don’t know. Answer 2: I don’t know. ❗️

So I wanted to follow up on this comment even though I realize now it is old. I did some looking into it and yes, the caliper is interchangeable for right and left side. But the way I had it installed on the right was incorrect. The bleeder should have been on top. The way I had it, I’d never truly be able to 100% bleed the brake lines. Thank you so much for pointing this out! I switched the line and the bleeder, as the bleeder bolt and the banjo bolt are the same size, and it’s good to go! I did this on the right side only, as the left side was already correct. Thanks again for pointing that out!

I had legend cartridges on my Dyna and REALLY disliked them. Really disliked the rear shocks too. Love the Race Tech’s front and rear on this bike.

@@magz7274 I never rode them. But installed it many times. Every owner was really satisfied. Including stunt riders. What I know, is that very easy to become misguided by the fitments list. Some models require longer tubes or different inner bottom cup. The cartridges can be installed in shorter tubes, but they would be much stiffer with short travel. Cartridges should be properly tuned for running weight. Oil volume should be right. Sometimes official guides can include mistakes. Sometimes the bike could have the front fork from another model. If everything is done right, it works great. If you have a part number of your cartridges, check the fitment guide on the Legend site.

@@FNobody that wasn’t the case with my Low Rider S. Installed properly, by me, in the correct length tubes with the correct cups. Adjusted based on my weight per instructions. Felt like I strapped a jackhammer to my front end. And the rears completely failed and blew out. Legend backed them and sent me new ones, but they’re still no comparison to Racetech for me. But that’s why there are different companies, because everyone has different tastes. I will try Ohlin’s someday I’m sure, but never again Legends.

@@magz7274 WOW! This is actually very interesting information for me because I have the FXLRS in my garage and Legend suspension for the front and rear that has not been installed yet. So next season I'll test it. But as for rear shock, I think it's not a problem of the company, but the construction. Your Legend shocks construction is twin tube, and Race Tech is mono tube.

@@FNobody well, it’s all relative to perspective, right? You may love it. I hope you do. It just wasn’t for me.

Thank you!

AWESOME JOB BROTHER!! Thanks for sharing with the FXR Alpha Page, only way I’d of seen it! THANKS! Larry FiXeR

Oh no doubt, it could never be worth even close to what I put into it, except to me! I just love messing with them.

Fabbed up a bracket and bolted it to a caliper bolt, and the sensor is pointed at the rotor bolts.

Did he ever answer you about the FXR symbol on the forks brace?

I don’t get into the business of selling them, just buying and building 😂

@@magz7274 i hear you on that my biggest problem is I'm running out of room. LOL

@@speedyspeed8492 better start getting serious these are getting scooped up left and right

I don’t know a part number. I found it on eBay. I just checked right now and there is another one on eBay currently. Search “Harley Padlock.” It is listed at $50.

trey scott That sounds like a great time! When is it? Is there a link I can check out? Also just bought a 1981 FXB Sturgis that would be fun to bring down there. Going to do a video on it soon too.

rihannasbigforehead new spacers and bearings, and new lowers if you’re going 2000 and up wheels.

Harley-Davidson

$2,300

Should be the same gasket for 80-87 FLT or 83-87 FLHT if that helps.

It’s a guardian bell, to keep you safe while you ride. Can’t buy one for yourself, has to be given to you by someone else, per tradition. We always referred to them as “Gremlin Bells” because they keep the gremlins away from your bike. Every time it rings a gremlin falls off the bike and goes crashing down to the road. This is where potholes come from 😉

Not a Sportster

I’m sorry, I have no idea what the part number is. I know they’re Arlen Ness and we’re discontinued many years ago.

It is the original engine, yes. However, I just won an S&S V111 from dirtycustomz.com and I’m so pumped about it! I am definitely putting it in and will post an update when complete. But I’ll always keep the original 80” motor with it, just in case.

@@magz7274 damn dude good snag!

8” Bung King 1 piece risers with Big Al’s High Bend Bars

@@magz7274 are they 1” bars?

@@k202007si yes sir

I don’t mind blacked out. My 21 FLTRK is blacked out. But I do love chrome too, depends on the bike and the color to me.

Why would I do that? So it can be worthless? Original condition FXR’s are worth $4,000-$6,000 in the Midwest, where I live. Why would I want to DEVALUE my motorcycle? I’ve had offers of over $15,000 for this bike, when it was in this configuration, but it is not for sale. I guess I just don’t understand your logic. But I’d like to hear it.

I have an even better solution! You do what you want with your stuff, and I'll do what I want with my stuff. Man, don't you just love freedom?

I am curious why you think a Harley with a stock motor, suspension, seat and other stuff is better than a Harley that is suited to the person that actually owns and rides their bike?

I guess if ur wana be boring and not unique stock is the way to go

Thank you!

@@magz7274 love the chrome look. Too many fxrs all blacked out and cheaply done these days

Thanks man! Working on putting on an FXRD Fairing from Deviant Fab and it will be all touchscreen too. Stay tuned!

@@magz7274 looking at getting an 82 model with the shovel and keeping lots of the chrome.
