    That chopper makes sketchy fun! You had a blast riding that. Great job getting it to run again. When I first saw the FXR my initial reaction was pull the shovel and drop a 103 in it. But then you started it and it sounded so smooth and ran flawlessly and yes that motor has been messaged. I have an 86 FXR Lowrider which I've owned for 28 years and currently has 120,000 miles on it. I would have no problem riding that home here to South Carolina.

A 1963 900 Harley sportster engine and trans on an Aman frame with a 20" Over springer! Man, I Loved that bike ! ! ! I bought my first motorcycle at age 62 & I'm now 71 years old and I ride a1992 Sportster 883

    I just had the same experience with my old corolla drift car, Rear end was blown up and it's been sitting for months, maybe even years at this point. Finally found a used rear end That I ended up having to cobble together because it was also blown up. But finally got my car on the road and the feeling is amazing. I need to swap in a bigger rear end, but at least the car is driving.😍

    But id have to say, the shovel FXR is awesome ! Very clean and stock lookin' but there's lotsa tricks that can be done to make a shovel extremely powerful, I know because I've owned a 83 flh with a 96" S&S shovel and lemme tell ya it was extremely quick and fast! Like a damn freight train with no brakes!😂😂😂😂😂 I felt like Casey Jones full throttle with the feeling I would never stop.

He has the ability to maintain it and he wants one. As for me shovelheads are cool same with the fxrs just not my first choice unless money is no object lol. Then I could have several backups 🤣🤣.
