I here love and hate for the t headers why is that are they legendary sound and performance all around some people go nothing but t headers I think they look classic and sound great do they not perform?? Also I have a tbr on my fxbb and it sounds great and performs I know a lot of people say the same about them but so far no issues
You are going to want to put a couple of bucks into the rear shocks. The technology they put into the shocks today makes the FXR ride like a dream. Oh, and some Race Tech front fork emulators with a set of heavy-duty front springs. It will handle anything you can throw at it.
Way ahead of you. 😂. Got some nice 14” shocks for the rear and full race tech for the front. Hopefully the next episode I’ll be building the front up, just waiting on the damper rods
Hey, great build! I’m actually in the same boat and can’t get my adjusters in my swingarm. What size punch is that?? I’m gunna have to get one. Thanks man!
Brah stopped messing with that stamped steel & do yourself a favor & get a "Fab Kevin" fxr swingarm kit. Dude is the best & passionate about his work.! Trust me you will love it. Stresses me out just looking at your swingarm.😂 Very reasonable prices & his work is top notch. All stock components still work with that swingarm upgrade.
Trust me, if I had the money I would go crazy on this bike. Main goal is to keep it clean and budget friendly. Plans are to build another one this summer that is a little more wild. Plus we are gearing up to start on Justin’s son’s FXR so it’s nice to have a variety of different style builds on here
@@Me.MyMachinist.and.l I hear you on the budget! Cool man. The kit is only $450. Considering what they charge just for those axle billet inserts it's a bargain. Happy Holidays!
I got a TBR on my 87 fxrs and I love it! Performs great and sounds even better. Had a thunderheader but had nothing but problems.

@Me.MyMachinist.and.l 👍You are going to love how it handles, night, and day difference.
Great info, will keep tuned in.
Thanks you. Got a new one dropping this afternoon installing the swingarm fully!!
My favorite series on RUclips right now!
Dang, making me blush!! ☺️
@@Me.MyMachinist.and.l clean and stable footage. Great sound quality. Relatable content. That's what makes the channel so good.

I still run a old school Arlen Ness swing arm. Looks narly performs great.
I’m still a huge fan of those!!!

Thunderheader!!!
100%
Great info. What size is that punch used on the swingarm?
Let me measure it next time I’m in the garage and I’ll let you know.
Using a file to clean the inside of the swing arm is a good idea.

What seat did you go with?!
Saddlemen tuck and roll step up, but I’m added a little something something to it
Give a price at the end. Lol…
I have considered doing that. I know it helps show others what is possible for not a ton of money
@@Me.MyMachinist.and.l great series though, keep making the videos and showing us the updates..
