BUILDING THE FXR; IS ERIK BUELL THE BEST AMERICAN MOTORCYCLE ENGINEER EVER?

[@StuartBlake-iz6rf]

That was a great history lesson. Definitely a story to be told and retold as necessary. Uplifting for our youth to go chase it.

[@KaplanCycles]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@21zulu]

Thanks for the Buell history lesson.

[@SonnySeabury-d8i]

Interesting history you told on Eric Buell. Very accomplished, super intelligent, and seriously talented guy. I hope Harley Davidson payed him well when he worked for them. Unbelievable hitting a wall st 186 mph, his heart stopping, and then them bringing him back to life. He and Pete are seriously walking miracles! ❤

Love the fxr content! Helps motivate me to get to putting my dads 91 back together. got him a new crank for it last Christmas but he still hasn't touched it. If i knew more id do it for him. Thanks for the history lesson!

Erik Buell also rode Cr250r dirt and Ice. (Wisconsin).

[@michelegarrett8258]

Honda did some tube inside of tube stuff too, even on some of their exhaust.

[@robertvilliard3402]

I always love your videos 👍🇺🇸🏁🎅🎄

[@davemeshamsr6000]

Had a 1988, if my memory serves me correctly, fxrs-sp in candy brandywine…wish I had kept it…inverted front forks with an air system on the end of the hand grip to add or subtract air into the suspension…

16:20 I need that tail section from the 1190RS for my new Hammerhead! Whose got that mould?

[@klausl.2212]

Black crinkle colour and chrome covers. 39 mm front fork. Single front brake. Keihin carb. Progressive Suspension rear shocks (Aftermarket). Air filter is OEM (CD-player). Maybe 1988-1990 Fxrs Low Rider? I"m not a specialist!

[@KaplanCycles]

Spot on! 90!

[@Evo-t9b]

Any videos in the pipeline on the old buells in the collection?

[@KaplanCycles]

Yes yes yes! Stay tuned!

[@beaud4474]

[@DG-hb8rh]

Union test riders heck i had the wrong profession/job

[@PaulLorenzini-ny2yw]

I thought FXRs had dual front discs but as an idiot I wouldn't know for sure.

[@t.j.soccorsi8810]

Some did some didn't just like Dynas just depends on what sub model it is..

[@Pompomgrenade]

😂 King of ping sure, 👑 King of motorcycling💪 more appropriately👌

[@Evo-t9b]

Just look what he did with a 1200 sportster motor, 101 hp when best harley could do was 60 hp! Then there's the buell chassis, boy could that thing handle and stop on a dime!

[@michelegarrett8258]

Twenty years ago I had a friend ask me to rake his fxr for him so he acquired some instructions from Arlen Ness and I put the bandsaw to it!! He was extatic with it and owns it to this day!!!

[@leandroemanuelmulla9524]

Hermosa .....lastima que en argentina son tan caras

[@jonmccormick8683]

Harleys are very cheap now. -Lots of older people getting out of riding and not enough young people on Harleys.

[@leandroemanuelmulla9524]

Argentina te admira broder ...graciassss
