CMS POWERSPORTS SULLIVAN, IL 217-728-7425 has for sale by owner consignment 1986 HARLEY DAVIDSON FXRS Rebuilt engine has approx 1,000 miles on it Entire frame has been powder coated Runs great No reserve listing A little history on the FXR Harley and why they are still popular today In 1982 the ad copy said the new FXR Super Glide II was a Harley-Davidson that would "separate the men from the boys," the implication being that the boys were riding foreign" motorcycles. The FXR promised to deliver handling to rival sporty bikes from overseas, and the potent performance of an American V-twin. Thirty years later, there are still riders who claim the FXR was the best motorcycle Harley ever built. The Harley engineering team-which included a young road-racer named Erik Buell-quickly determined that the Tour Glide frame was not suited to the mission and instead designed an all-new frame that would hold the powertrain in the same elastomer tri-mounts. The frame had a more triangulated shape than that of the FXE Super Glide, and the rear shocks were set further back on the swingarm. Instead of heavy castings, the FXR frame had a lot of welded stamped-steel parts. This was before the era of robotic welding, so it all had to be assembled by hand. It was expensive and difficult to manufacture. Harley introduced the '82 FXR platform with two models-the FXR Super Glide II had laced wheels, while the FXRS was the same bike with cast wheels and two-tone paint. Both had a 3.8-gallon Fat Bob fuel tank with a console that incorporated the fuel cap and a fuel gauge. A thickly cushioned seat flipped up to reveal the oil tank and battery. The bike came equipped with triple disc brakes. Harley kept the volume going by adding models up thru the late 80's. Since then the reputation of the FXR as "best Harley ever" has stuck, and in the minds of former owners, it's probably the truth.
