[@user-wg7dx7er8w]

From the future, Very Nice Bike, I had the same bike, back in 1997/2000, then I purchased a DEUCE, now living in France.

[@brentmack51]

I've had my 84 since 94 great scoot love what you did with yours A+

[@JerseyNickMoto]

That is a beautiful FXR! I love seeing bikes that are actually ridden and used for traveling. Great video!

[@StevenVanLoven]

I had an FXR , one of the best harley's i'v had. I only would change yours by a dual front brake and a stabilizer on the lower front fork . These FXR's feels like beasts. Just love them.

[@bigmike8847]

I just randomly came across this. That's not too far off of the Harley idea I've had in my head for the last 6 months.... you may be fueling a new investment in my life lol

[@jimmorrison306]

Love that blue. The SuperTrap looks great; didn’t know they were still around. Whole thing looks like the perfect FXR.

[@davesaunders5247]

One of the best bikes Harley ever made

[@FXR038]

THE best handling Harley ever made.

[@billwooden4735]

The only kind worth owning!!!

[@RIPbiker13]

Your bike is an incredible example of what a little time and knowledge can lead into. You made the bike fot you for what you wanted and for that, she's perfect. Fantastic job and gorgeous bike.

[@tyee4u]

Yes!! More of this. Hoping to cross paths and share some stories over a camp fire one day ! You rock.

[@whitmeza]

Yassss!!!! Love seeing you on KZbin!! Thanks for sharing this lady. 🖤🖤

[@dadandmad]

Awesome bike with some great mods. Thanks for the talk through!

[@bodeine454]

Very nice ride, you've done a lot of cool things to it and I hope it serves you well in times to come!

[@RoadAgain]

Hey, there. Amazing to see you on youtube. Can't wait to see what is coming. Regards from Brazil. Your editing is great.

[@johnjenkins9202]

Nice video can't wait to see more. I really like to go motorcycle camping was stoked to see those pictures of all your camping gear and that you did 22,000 miles when you got the thing. Now that would be some great videos I subscribed to her two wheels at less than six thousand subscribers watched her blow up hoping the same thing happens here good luck and look forward to seeing your adventures keep the shiny side up

[@asatru_8888]

THIS is the reason i ride. Bikes like this are incredible. why harley doesnt have character like this anymore i dont know

[@anthonygomes7575]

So dope, the mods done to this FXR makes it even more gorgeous. I can't wait to pick up my own FXR. I love my FXLRS, but something about these just hits different.

[@MrBAshwood]

been searching youtube and online for this setup and finally a video i found that actually talks about the engine bolt on and the baker 6 to go with it. nice setup. im gonna be looking into doing this to a 96 bad boy softail springer that has the EVO 80 possibly. very nice video!

[@JeronimoDeStrukt]

'93 FXR owner/rider/tinkerer here, as well. After following your FXR-related stories on IG for some time, it's great to hear & see the details!

[@winfielddixon5166]

I never had a FXR but did have a '98 FXDS-C with Thunderheaders that I rode all over America, from Mexico to Canada. Put 100,000 miles on her until she was stolen, still miss that bike. Glad to see someone keeping the FXR alive!

[@rowlinstoned3715]

Nice! I love how dialed in u have ur ride specifically for the way u ride. Inspiring!

[@johanchalco5117]

New sub love the bike and we can tell u know ur bike upgrades and by the tone of ur voice ur very happy and proud of all upgrades. Ride safe

[@GreatMotorcyleridesWashington]

Nice bike. I just picked up and 85 FXRT that I am preparing to get to work on. You are an inspiration. Stay safe. see you in the wind!!!

[@davidpeterson943]

Love what you've done to the Fxr. Thx for sharing.

[@gregr1672]

I installed spherical bearings in my swing arm on my 87 FXRS. Much better than the OEM Cleve-Bloks. I was getting weird vibrations through the frame . The spherical bearings tightened things up ,took the crazy stuff away. Your heavier swing arm is the way to go for sure . I beefed my original swing arm up a bit when I did the pivots. Your flipping the coil over so the ignition feed wires to the coil are where you can see them and get to them is rock solid idea. Functionality and reliability are what matters . Screw the pretty stuff. I.put small floor boards on my FXR and what a difference . Ten times less stress on the legs. Couldn't believe the difference ! Great bike , enjoy . Travel safe ! Arrive alive

[@roymoderatto]

Dream upgrades! Some of them are on my own bucket list for my ‘86 FXRP ⚡️

[@jaytouvelle2359]

You have a lot of knowledge thank you for sharing it. I love your MC you really made it great.

[@styles143able]

Really dig the mods you did on blue! I buy old bikes for dirt cheap and build them into what they deserve in regards to engine work, mods, etc. You are 100% like myself and other true riders...you love to learn. Knowledge is power. I just purchased a 2020 Harley Softail Deluxe. The last one left in Canada! It should be at my house in a week or so once the mods are done. Pretty stoked and super excited to ride it! First road trip will be to Banff, Ab which is less than a hour from me. Gotta love those mountains! Go fast ⚡️ don’t die 👊🤘

[@stansinclair5521]

The FXR chassis is the best Harley Platform. the Evo motor was considered a revolution but the FXR makes the performance and handling possible. Great choice in a bike that will never be old.

[@garylake1497]

Ain’t it great that all the comments ( mainly from men it seems) are so respectful, positive and encouraging. No sexism, no mocking, no shit. Just as it should be. I think we knuckle-dragging bikers can use those long arms to pat ourselves on the back.

[@CP-nl2zb]

Thanks for the tips. Getting ready to rebuild my 91 FXRS.

[@The333]

Cool stuff - would be great to see some future how-to vids of you installing all these great mods on your bike!

[@hughsnyder891]

Nice bike with awesome upgrades 😎Well done😎

[@FreedomRider1982]

Hello from Florida...I have the Legend suspension on my 17' SGS. I have the Aero A suspension and love it. I also have an 80/80 FXEF which is a bit of a forerunner of your FXR. Good looking channel...👍🌴👊

[@cigemp]

You did a nice job Karen. I just finished a 1987 FXRS-SP ground up build and love it.

[@tazyt3388]

Yep cheers back at ya luv your fxr 111 is a stout rig Happy trails mate keep it rubber side down woohooo

[@josephtizol9695]

Love this bike! I saw it on a Biltwell rider profile I think. I’ve got an 83 with some of the same upgrades I went with RideTech though and RB Racing pipe. Great color as well I’m looking forward to more content on it 👍🏻

[@tbobmann229]

Bad ass!.. My 1988 fxrp has been 3 completely different bikes in 32yrs...it never ends..

[@lunapro9853]

Love the upgrades, I have a 05 super glide fxd

[@braptainmerica6530]

Wow I don't know if I love the bike, the dog or the gorgeous human talking about motorcycles most but now I want to ride 🤣🍻🤘

[@SenditSteph]

Awesome FXR, nice work! Sounds mean.

[@fredchacon8668]

Holy. Crazy couinsidence. I just saw your video. My wife's uncle had a blue 1996 FXR. Named Blue. He used to run the he'll out of it. But he kept it going. R.I.P. uncle Woody.

[@chrisn262]

Hmmm are you sure it was 1996 ?

[@michaeldion8798]

What a beautiful ride!

[@generalmayhem4614]

Excellent build and nice video as well🤙🏽

[@BradDaeda]

Sweet. Nice video. I'm planning on getting a new FXR that I will be doing some custom work to. Your video gives me ideas.

[@027MC7]

Ya just gotta love and respect a woman that KNOWS her bike! Subscribed!

[@gtw9998]

[@harryhowell5644]

Wow you built a whole new bike.My son had a dyna low rider s it reminds me of it

[@michaelsweeney6596]

Cute and I like your bike too the trip overseas sounds great

[@douglasschultz9808]

Nice looking bike. I’m so jealous of these KZbinrs that get to go on those awesome rides around the country and world. Maybe someday when I’m not working crazy hours.

[@DaveWhite1979]

Gorgeous, the bike looks good too.

[@beausbargarage6213]

i have a 92 fxlr sweet video and great job!

[@uberDoward]

Damn that's a good looking bike! That blue is gorgeous!

[@mcu64]

Nice Bike👍. I love my 1987 FXR ❤

[@yamahchopper]

You definitely got one solid awesome bike!

[@garymoore3497]

nice work..... very smart choices as well......

[@OMGMOTO]

Very cool story and bike.

[@fredrikjohnsson8509]

Harley Davidson is my favorite motorcycle🤗. Your motorcycle is really nice i must say😎👊👌

[@AppleJack76]

Well thought out upgrades, for the use of the bike. My '92 FXLR was built for short rides. I am considering those Legend shocks, since the bike is so low, due to the frame / fork being raked.

[@mikebullard1797]

Love it. I've got # 23 90 anniversary, 1993 FXDWG. Nothing like it!

[@jamisgood21]

Super sweet bike! Beautiful lass! I ride a 99 Buell X1. Nothing beats a Vtwin American motor in the frame.

[@user-bo4yf9xf3m]

Спасибо!) классный не только байк, но и хозяйка)

[@billberger7584]

I had to back the video up at the end there. It's looking like you have a pushbutton on your starter. Very cool

[@wretchednation3557]

Cool video and awesome bike

[@yinyanglovebomb]

Very cool. Excellent job on the build. Thinking about trading my 2012 softail for a 93 FXDL. Love the older carb bikes. My shovelhead is the most fun bike I’ve ever rode and I miss the hell out of my 02 superglide. Keep rockin😎🤘

[@JRygh]

I think I am in love !!!??? She actually knows her shit !!!! And she looks good!!!!!

[@dynamandan467]

Love the FXR!

[@maryetdave]

Nice FXR, looks clean also

Awesome bike Had to replace the belt on my 87 FXLR over the weekend and upgraded the charging system to a 32 AMP since the primary was apart

[@michaelmitchell5909]

Your bikes as beautiful as you are....love the color too.!
