Are there any issues with a Dyna FXR?
The 88ci dynas can have cam chain tensioner issues and the early evo motors in the FXRs can have base gasket problems and some bearing problems..I think. Both lines were refined by the middle of their runs (07 for dyna) and (87 or so for the FXR) to where they were/are both reliable and great bikes.
Which is better the FXR or the FXD?
Had a 1990 FXR Convertible from new until 2000. Now have a 2008 FXDL bought new. Had an FLHR as a sort of sorbet in between. Given the choice of a new FXR and a new FXD I’d take the FXR every time. Handles better, corners better, doesn’t vibrate as much and the finish was sooo much better.
Why is the paint falling off my FXR?
Foward controls on kick-back plates have sort of solved the problem – the aches have mostly gone but so has the “oneness” I felt with the FXR with the pegs in the right place. The FXR was as good as new when I (stupidly) sold it. The paint is falling off the FXD despite the same level of tlc.
What happens when you remove the baffles on a Harley Davidson?
Removing baffles only makes you think the bike is running better because it’s noisier. In reality, if you were to measure the power, you would find it’s down from where it was with baffles installed and the mixture would be leaned out from where it was which is the main problem.

When did the FXR Super Glide II come out?
A few years later they introduced the Super Glide II as FXR. Around 20 years later, HD decided that the new Dyna chassis was going to use the FX designation and replace the hybrid Glides. I have a 1990 FXR-SP.
What kind of cruiser can beat a Harley Davidson FXDX?
On the highway, the FXDX’s top-gear roll-on power can only be beaten by one V-twin cruiser, the omnipotent Intruder 1400.
