What was the damage to my HD FXR bike?
Front and rear fenders have been bobbed (probably wrecked.) The front brakes were useless – almost couldn’t get the damned thing to stay on the trailer long enough to tilt it down and lock it into place. The rear exhaust actually shook off the bike on the trailer ride home!
Is the 82 FXR still the Holy Grail?
We’re on the road again…. My current personal interest is focused on the early FXR models since I now own and ride an 82 FXRS. However, I don’t want to restrict the blog topics to only the early years (known as the holy grail to some.)
How much does a 1982 FXLR bike cost?
The ad read “1982 FXLR in great shape. 28,000 miles. Being sold by the original owner. Buy it now for $5000.” I bought it now without hesitation. I figured that the bike would be “all there” with bald tires, worn out chains and sprockets and who knows what wrong with the motor/tranny. Oh well, what ever the problems they were mine now!
When did I trade in my HD-FXR home?
By the time I traded it in it was full custom in a hardtail with wrap around oil bag, kick starter, magneto and a late model disk brake front end. Traded it in (got my $1500 back out of it) on a 1978 1/2 Low Rider that had been involved in a slight front end collision. Bent the tubes and egged the lower legs. Got it for $4000 in 1979.
When did my Wife’s Harley start to misfire?
My wife’s 2005 FLHTCUSE2 began to develop problems a few weeks ago. After a short ride, we stopped for her to get gas. On the way home, her Harley started to misfire and run poorly. I lost sight of her so I pulled over. After about 15 mins she showed up and said her bike would not stay running.
Why did my Harley Road King start cutting out?
Would be great for a while and suddenly start cutting out. Found a bad wire on the start relay under the seat. Harley Mechanic said that was probably not the issue but replaced the relay, changed the wire connection and hasn’t missed a beat in two years. The wire that you found that was bad on that 2002 road king under your seat…
What was the problem with my Harley Davidson?
After about 15 mins she showed up and said her bike would not stay running. At each stop, it would stall but would always start after the fact. It died in the driveway. We tried to troubleshoot the problem but have been unsuccessful so far. Checked the fuel pump, getting gas, changed the plugs and checked the wires for leaks, no leaks.
What should I do if my Harley loses all power?
