It had RevTech heads on it and S&S plastered on other bits...

I quite liked it :oooops:

That's one nice looking motorcycle.

I've never really bothered that much with Harleys and the model designation letters are totally bewildering to me, but with an Evo motor and mid-mounts, that's probably an FXR. (cue the HD experts calling me a knob for getting it wrong, but hey - I couldn't give a FF if I have......)
Guess who had a hand in the design of the FXR frame?

I'd have it.......




me too :yup:

Not bad for a Har*ey but after my experience with owning a stiffened framed and tuned motor - big bore/cams etc etc :roll: and proper brakes, FXDX, you still have the problem of ground clearance in the twisties with the massive outboard clutch.
It's always amazed me that 'you know who ;) ' helped design the frame because when I stripped mine to weld a brace in around the swinging arm pivot, I could hardly lift it onto the bench. Steel must be cheap in the USA lOl

Its designed by John Reed I believe

Certainly would be alot better than those MT01's that were there but probably cost at least three times as much.
