Just finished complete rebuild of my 1991 FXRS Low Rider Custom. Slight rake, 10-1 Wiseco, Andrews EV59, ported and polished heads, S&S Super E stage 1 and Vance and Hines Pro pipe. Have had many Harleys and other makes. FAVORITE bike EVER

That sounds badass as hell. Have any videos of the build, or after the build was completed? Would love to see it.

That looks really nice ! Got a 70's vibe . Best of the best .

God bless the Museum, this fxr, and the United States of America hell yeah

I love that paint. Gorgeous bike all around. If you pay attention to what Ken is saying about FXR's, you shouldn't have a problem building one yourself. I see buying one in the future. Great work!

That bike right there...now that’s a badass bike. The look is stellar...sounds amazing...OG shit right there. Love the shout out to Buell🤘🏾

This is my absolute favorite channel and this bike is off the chain!!! I love all your fxr’s!

FXR the best motorcycle harley ever built I have five off them

I had an 89. Big brakes, proper suspension, cam and carb, 5 gallon tanks etc. Took me all over Europe. Im an old Triumph and Guzzi guy, but i have to say that was possibly the best bike i ever owned. Friend has it now, stock cases cracked, in storage needs new aftermarket c/cases. One thing that makes an FXR look soooo much better is replacing the ugly stock sidepanels with Arlen Ness versions IMO. Nice bike, dig the bikini fairing. Best big twin Harley made in the last 35 years.

Attention to detail and craftsmanship = satisfaction in a job well done. Great Big Smile !!!

LOL... Dennis looks funny holding the pup. That FXR is sick bro, I'm picking up a 1988 FXRP this week!

Ken, You are exactly right about the FXR. If I was wanting a new Harley, I would buy or build or have built a FXR. Light, powerful, great handling and you could stare at that all day!!

Beautiful ! Love the work you did. I got a 1982 FXRS.

Harleys were never my thing, but there's no denying that, that bike is absolutely gorgeous. Looks brand new, right out of the crate. Stunning paint job on it. Many of my buddies, that own Harleys, would love this bike.

"A helluva lot of fun"!!!! You go and do you Mr. Kaplan!!!!

I ride an FXR as well. Love my bike. 91 FXRS low rider, S&S 96”, FXDX fully adjustable front end, heads done, mag wheels... like he said- burnouts 1-3 lol

Excellent video and an absolutely killer bike! Scott

Love your FXR!

love it, i have the FXR 4 and would trade you in a heart beat, and i wont sell mine ever . good job

I really like the Andrews EV3 cam, S&S carb, and Python 2 exhaust on my 93 fxrs convertible.

Bean counters, not engineers killed the FXR. The Dyna chassis was far cheaper to manufacture. And nowhere near as good.

Sweet Bike man .Love the Colors. Red & White 1.Reds my favorite color.

Now that’s a Bad Ass Harley I ride a FJR 1300 Im definitely selling mine n find one of these.Its Just Awesome Really Dig ur videos n good luck

The holy grail of Harley’s

Just a couple years ago I rode my 86FXR To Alaska See lots of people on fancy new BMW's I want trade my FXR for Any of them It was packed down like an old mule And it still would never let me down

Love your bike. I have the last of the fxrs 2000fxr4 can't say enough about fxrs Best ride I agree with you

I guess I'm enjoying knowing that this bike is 80 cubic inches and you really can ride this one like you stole it! 👍👍👍😁😁😁! Great information on this video thank you Kaplan.

Fxr all you need looks great!!

I have a 89 FXR I could have bought a lot of bikes but I love this one

Absolutely beautiful bike!!! What is the benefit of the dry clutch vs wet in this use case? Is it only just to prevent primary leaks?

That exhaust wrap will probably crack that thunder header. It’s happened every thunder header I’ve ever seen wrapped. Including my own.

I wanted a Harley when I seen the movie Easy Rider way back in the 1970`s . I was 5 years old then .

Beautiful.

Nice little stocker

Nice bike. Hell's Angel Sonny Barger says the FXR is the best Harley ever!

Love those back skocks.

Veramente splendida...un sogno! Io ho una Dyna 1450 centenario con lo stesso cupolino che a me fa impazzire 😍

Freaking BEAUTIFUL

absolutely badass.

Awesome bike.

Badass firs love the harleys wish I could afford one

Incredible bike

Great looking bike! Did you sell it?

god damit that is one clean bike man..

Beautiful freaking bike

oh man the sound of that nasty bastard gives me goosebumps.awesome bike

i ride a yamaha bt1100 bulldog '04. it has 3 common problems: the rear cilinder valve cover o-ring leaks a connector under the tank gets dirty causing the lights out starterclutch

Where can you find those shocks

My dream bike

Since Kaplan America sell so many FXRs it might be wise to buy up the last run of Solenberg (Delkron) transmission cases and inner primary covers. Anyone else who builds them should grab while the grabbing is still possible as the Evo speed parts market fades like the Shovelhead market before it. I have two Delkron inners and ordered more for spares, and bought one trans case. They are as good as the great original Delkron parts but Solenberg kind of suck at advertising so many don't know about them.

NICE

I'd take that over any new 2021 harley any day.....new harleys are lacking to say the least

wolverine rides Harleys

Might get one after I get use to the heft of a sporty after just riding dirtbikes

Who makes the pegs your running?

What fairing was used on this bike?

I just bought a 94 FXLR project it'd be great if you could give me some good sources to find parts.

If I ever come into some Cash, I’ll be contacting you to build me a FXR

great bike but if its an S shouldent it have dual front disks??? it might have had a buel chin also, scince it has the ferring ???

That's one clean hog.

This is what pissed off looks like dressed up to go out on the town...stunning

Nice motorcycle one thing about building an engine to go fast to finish the go fast build with better breaks double disk, You'll like the response of a chain instead of the rubber band drive !! Just sayin (-:] !! Nice motorcycle needs finishing to be safe!

I watched him jump Caesars Palace way back in tie day and crash .

Have a question.... why is the pipe so blue all the way down where the muffler is at? Does it run hot or is that the result from the heat tape ? Nice bike indeed!

ken what year is this bike? is it an 1989 or a 1991?

How much did it sell for?

powder coat the wheels and pulley gloss black. You’re right anyone can buy a 20k Harley this bike has soul

What were the rear shocks on this bike? Love the look! I know you said the name of them in the video, but I couldn't understand what you said. There was no closed caption available either. I have a fully original 87 FXLRC that I would like to put these shocks on. Your bike is awesome!

They are harley davidson sportster S model shocks

1340 for life! Most reliable harley i have own. Well my buells will top it but Eric buell was involved in both!!!

What kind of handle bars are those and fairing? I like those bars instead of the traditional “Dyna T bars everyone uses” I want more of a classic stock look for my 07 dyna superglide

Not many people realize that the motor company made Evo powered FXR's up to 2000. They were numbered FXR2 thru FXR4 and were CVO models ONLY. If I was in the market for a desirable FXR I'd chose the FXR4. They're loaded with all kinds of goodies and chromed out, the paint schemes are nice too. The rarest FXR out there is the one year only 1986 FXRD. They're as rare as hen's teeth, if you were to consider buying one you might consider finding one unmolested with EVERYTHING otherwise you're gonna pay BIG bucks for any OEM stuff (if you can find it).

True, the cvo fxr's came loaded with over $11,000.00 Of harley accessories, The only thing I don't like about them is the short fox shocks, They don't handle as well as the 13 in shocks in their to stiff, I have owned 2 of the green FXR threes

There was never an FXR1, only the 2 & 3 in 1999 and the 4 in 2000.

Great looking and sounding hog, a cool beast.

It's worth a lot more than someone will pay you for it. Hold onto it and someday it'll be recognized for its true value . Like an old knuckle or pan now.

I don’t like the exhaust but outside of that wow I love those fxrs

Amerykańska legenda piękna maszyna💪

You dont need to go 180mph when you can light the tires up 1st-3rd drift/donuts and wheelies.

That is no poser bike, but 100% the real deal biker's bike.

Can’t hardly hear you for the wind/traffic

Evil Knievl was my hero then

Hobbies dont pay

Didn't this guy pull a pan off the line in 48?

2022 fxbb 114 @ $19 000 will eat this bike, all day long! More HP, better brakes, better ground clearance, better lighting, the motor and trans are integral in the chassis creating a way stiffer platform than the fxr. Its like comparing an 1989 Iroc z with and Ls transplant to a new z28...there is zero comparisons. Unless your an old gear head, stuck in the past of the glory days...Motorcycles were meant to ride and tour on, not be polished sitting in the garage reflecting on 25 years ago...Nice OLD BIKE THOUGH!

I'd love to see that up against a new softail

Slow Bro the softail would get left in the dust

Harley's new FL Softail beats out the FXR. I mean it's about damn time they finally made a frame that beat it. The new Fat Bob, and Low Rider are amazing bikes in terms of handling and performance. This bike is still kick ass though.

@linuxpro747

I tend to agree. I had the Fat Bob S, and after installing an Andrews cam, it was an absolute beast. I think it's one of the best stock bikes Harley has ever made - with beefy inverted front forks, dual disks and calipers that will actually stop you, a modern rear monoshock design that is an absolute pleasure to ride through ANYTHING, lighting that actually works (and works extremely well), etc. I rode that thing like I stole it, and it was AWESOME. It actually convinced one of my sport bike friends to buy his first Harley. I find it a little hard to take the "purists" seriously when they tell me their bikes with garbage 1920's-era suspension designs (seriously, dual rear shocks? GTFO) and a small motor is a sportier or more durable bike than the new Softails. Clearly, they haven't ridden one, and definitely not one with a cam. I've ridden an FXR and there is no comparison to the new Softail design (especially the Fat Bob S) when it comes to sporty performance. Riding the Fat Bob S is a revolution, and it might just save Harley's ass, considering that very few bikers under 40 years of age take Harley seriously as a performance platform. Don't get me wrong, the FXR in this video is badass as hell, and an excellent build - so I'm not knocking it. The FXR is an awesome platform. But it had its critics back in the day and still does, for many of the same reasons people criticize the new Softail platform. Harley has to ignore the "purists" - they have held the company back for too long. I can't wait to see a new FXR built on the Softail platform, and hope Harley does it. Anyway, sorry for blabbing... great video and I hope I see that bike in person some day, it is a work of art. LOVE IT.

like the old harley riders say " if i have to explain you will not u derstand" so i dont expect an intelligent response...but here's the FACTS; this classic harley FXR ( not Frx) is going up in value every day and empties out clubhouses and bars every time it is parked because it is one in a million...no one will give your bike a second look at daytona or any big rally because new lowriders are a dime a dozen, your 2019 lowrider was made in taiwan, its a softail and will be worth half what you paid for it in 5 years, you just flushed $12,500.00 down the toilet for starters, i hope it was worth it for you, in 5 years this FXR will be worth 3-5k more than it sold for and is an asset, not a liability, you will also pay a LOT more in insurance and property taxes over the next 5 years, probably ANOTHER $5,000.00 more! so thats around $17,500.00 Flushed and gone forever, sure the new softail might be faster, better brakes, etc. but who cares? a $4,000 Yamaha 600 is Faster than any new Harley with better brakes and more reliable, if I want faster, buy a jap bike for pennies on the dollar, finally Old Harley's are cool and a blast to ride!

it's great when a company quits making one of there best selling bikes n replaces it with a piece of shit

Nice bike, and no gay ass forward controls , mid controls were they belong.

is this the same bike found it at a price of 13.000 on facebook marketplace.. But again, you'll get a perfect bike ! facebook.com/marketplace/item/2432423327019672/
