The spray bomb job is good enough in my opinion. I wouldn't waste the money on having a pro re-paint later. Just throw them on and enjoy the bike. Great attention to detail with the build, and you chose nothing but the best for parts.
Congrats on the bike mate, absolute ripper and the parts list is insane. Its probably been covered in a previous vid but would be keen for a rundown on the motor. Im currently trying to decide motor/cam setups.
Thanks brother! I actually looked back last night to see, I don't think I covered the engine. I'll make a video going over all the details I hope. It's a 88ci timken motor bored to 95ci. I had a NOS Harley crank that I welded the pin. All Feuling parts this time: race series cam plate with hydraulic tensioners, race series oil pump, 543 cams, beehive valve springs, pushrods, lifters. Wiseco pistons and 06+ heads I ported, polished and milled on my Bridgeport. Coming in at 11:1 compression.
@@EngineersGarage1 Very nice man, sounds like it'll be a hot motor. Compression releases? Im aiming for a milder (and super budget setup since I got heaps of stuff dirt cheap) setup, 95in, timken bottom end, SE cast piston 10.25 pistons, fueling OE or S&S cam chest, 06+ heads, SS570 EZ start cams, and around 10.4 static comp. I also had to laugh about that Mikuni chatter in the end. Ive heard blokes swap to S&S carbs because they hate the noise of it. I dont mind it at all and would deal with that noise over an SS carb anyday.
@@jimmyrustles8118 Should be a pretty stout setup, I'll be happy if I hit 100hp. I'm using the stock auto compression releases in the 06+ heads. Also using a 84t ring gear. That should be a ripper for a budget set-up. All good parts to have gotten on the cheap. This is my third mikuni and I'm not sure why this one caught my ear. I guess building from split cases up myself made my ears very sensitive, listening to see if I screwed anything up. Hahaha doesn't bother enough to run anything else, S&S are lawn tractor carbs imo.
Love your work👏 , planning to pull my 87 fxr low rider down soon. Hard finding genuine parts in Australia 😔. Have saved your build series for reference....Thanks for sharing, much appreciated!
Thanks man!!! I've always respected the Australian guys with Harleys. Much more expensive and hard to find parts from what I'm hearing! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Awesome steed man! She's beautiful! I can't wait until I can get ahold of an FXR! My neighbor has a anniversary 91 I think it is all red he won't sell it lol! Says it's going to his son. But man is it clean!
Beautiful!! I do ALL work myself as well to my bikes and appreciate you wrenching and sharing. I'm working through a stage 4 build on my Breakout if you want to see on my channel. Just got my motor parts and super excited to get going on it.
Just subscribed. I appreciate the feed back my man! I'll definitely be watching some of your videos tonight! Looking forward to seeing that build done.
I hope you have better luck with that pipe than I did. I got an AR pipe the day they went up on the website. I had broken welds and all kinds of issues.
If you have footage of actually bolting in the motor, transmission, primary chain and swing arm I’d love to watch. I’m trying to learn on a 93 Fxrs build now!!
Yeah and I have one. But it's another situation where only way to match it was spray outs since the paint isn't made anymore. I just happened to have these exact match, unopened 30 year old Harley touch up bottles.
Love all the quality parts that you're using on this did you get sponsored on this or did you do this out of pocket if so what do you have tied up in this you don't mind me asking
Wow man, you have to be happy with that sound, sounds fucing incredible! What cams did you go with?. Sorry if youve said that in a previous video, this is the first video and i definitely subscribed to your channel man...love thrashin parts...
Thank you! I talked to the guys there and in so many words they said their headpipe is the same from a FXR to a Dyna. So I ordered one for a FXR so I'd get the right bracket. Also I had some extra exhaust systems around that I test fit. A bassani FXR specific road rage 3 did not fit, hit the dyna foot controls I had. The bassani Greg lutzka off my 2015 dyna fit great.
Nice bike - weighs about the same as my '06 XL1200R...... what power do you think it'll make ? - it's got to be well over a hundred with all the work you got in it ! My Sporty is hot-rodded to about 95bhp, my twincam is hot-rodded to about 130 ( it's a 113" 2010 model Streetbob), so a bike with the weight of a late Sporty but more power will be fun - my twincam weighs about 100lb more than your FXR/twinkie, but it don't look anywhere near as good ! Oh, and I could hear that carb slide rattle straight off.... still ain't got used to it after 9 years on the Sporty !.... got one on my twinkie as well.
Only goal is 100hp, that's what I'd like to see. I'm sure it can probably do 110 depending on my porting skills. but I'll find out probably spring time. I'm sure that sporty rips, the xl1200r is a killer bike to start. I built a turbo sporty that made 86hp on 5 lbs of boost that was pretty fun, back before I filmed stuff. I think my ears were very sensitive to any new noises as I listened for problems since I build this from the cases up myself, 3rd mikuni I owned but first time I ever noticed the noise.
@@EngineersGarage1 If you rebuilt your engine to an 'as new' condition then you will be listening more for sure, but if you did a good job and the engine itself doesn't have much mechaical noise then you will notice the carb rattle more..... I got quite frustrated with it at first, and don't forget that you don't hear the exhaust noise when you are riding - it's all left in your wake !
The swingarm is original. I changed out the strut covers. The frame has holes for both shock positions, just depends on what covers you use. I have mine in the RP/RT position.(more up and down)
Brother those rear shocks are the tits! Iv been looking for something to replace my blah factory’s but obviously want them to be chrome/polished as I have the same bike and I can’t bring myself to by the progressive deals. Mind me asking roughly the damage I’m looking at or another good choice you might know of? I really want to upgrade my breaks and rear shocks done this summer. Thanks and amazing job
Thanks man I appreciate the feedback! The shocks were definitely the most expensive part of my build. $2000. I feel like it was worth the price since I don't plan on ever getting rid of the bike and race tech will rebuild them if needed. Another good alternative for a polished/chrome shock are bitubos.
There mat. Lack now They came Factroy mat black wanna go all gloss vivid black Amazing. Build series hopefully one day I’ll have an fxr vert dream bike and fxdxt
Watched all 4 videos. Very nice job on the build man!
You're supposed to put some red loctite in with all the fluids. Helps keep the bike together..
589 is a LIGHT twin cam. I've really enjoyed watching this build. Looks like a super FUN bike. Good looking FXR!
The spray bomb job is good enough in my opinion. I wouldn't waste the money on having a pro re-paint later. Just throw them on and enjoy the bike. Great attention to detail with the build, and you chose nothing but the best for parts.
The moment that bike got lifted 😮!
Killer build. That’s gonna be fun for a long time
Boy you sure got my full undivided attention keep on keeping on
Niceee blue and chrome just go so well together
Thank you!
This is a sick FXR man. Keep up the build. Love the high and tight!
Thanks man!
Thank you for sharing this journey with us 🙏🏼

Love this bike, thanks for filming this. Excellent angles by the way.
Thank you! Trying to keep the videos engaging!
This is one killer FXR 👏🤘
Thanks for the awesome FXR videos.. Super informative. Great job. Can't wait for the next 1. Keep it up. Keep it up.
I appreciate the feedback, thank you!
I love it I had a 92 for but that a lot nicer and sounds better than an evo.

Sounds great

You had the right idea but you need an airbrush to make the pin stripes how you laid them out.
Yeah and I have one. But it's another situation where only way to match it was spray outs since the paint isn't made anymore. I just happened to have these exact match, unopened 30 year old Harley touch up bottles.
@@EngineersGarage1 you can actually pour that touch up into the air brush with just some thinner and it will spray fine to do those pinstripes
Love all the quality parts that you're using on this did you get sponsored on this or did you do this out of pocket if so what do you have tied up in this you don't mind me asking
Nice job. What compression and cam? Motor a 95” or 88”?
God bless
It's a 95CI. 11:1 compression and Feuling 543 cams
Wow man, you have to be happy with that sound, sounds fucing incredible! What cams did you go with?. Sorry if youve said that in a previous video, this is the first video and i definitely subscribed to your channel man...love thrashin parts...
Beautiful build, great job on that ripper. When you ordered the Thrashin AR exhaust, did you order the Dyna or FXR model?
Thank you! I talked to the guys there and in so many words they said their headpipe is the same from a FXR to a Dyna. So I ordered one for a FXR so I'd get the right bracket.

Yeah she bad. Them Race Techs set it off
Man good work! She is a beauty! Are your shocks 14"?
Thank you!! They're 13.5"
But I'm running them in the RT/RP position vs the RS that is normal to a 87. So it equates to a bit more lift
@@EngineersGarage1 Thanks!
Where dis you get the oil pressure guage from and do you have a part no. Please and thank you
What shock bolt kit did you get for those struts? And what year is your bike?
Bike is an 87. I'm using a bare knuckle choppers shock bolt kit
Is the shock in the exact same location on the new swing arm, as it would be if stock fxr? Bc the swing-arm now looks straight up and down?
The swingarm is original. I changed out the strut covers. The frame has holes for both shock positions, just depends on what covers you use. I have mine in the RP/RT position.(more up and down)

Hey man what paint would you defeat
To paint my battery side covers on my fxbb in gloss vivid black oem paint
There mat. Lack now
They came Factroy mat black wanna go all gloss vivid black
Amazing. Build series hopefully one day I’ll have an fxr vert dream bike and fxdxt
idle sounds pretty low. what is it set at?
I haven't tuned the carb at all yet. It's probably only like 700 or so.
@@EngineersGarage1 10 4. I like the sound of the low rpms but I know they always say about 1k. might ask my tuner to try 900 when my motor is done.
@@WHITEHEADTJ71 I shoot for 900 usually myself for the same reason. That's where my fuel injected bike idle. I'll probably do the same on this.
