After a long time away from bikes, I bought a new '86 FXRS-sp. |
I had this bike for 15 years. It went through many changes over the years, but all in keeping with Harley's original design concept for the Low Rider Sport - fast with great handling. I might have got a little carried away - the bike wound up with a Ceriani fork, Koni shocks, EMC BLOWER, custom sheetmetal, racing wheels, etc. I looked at it one day in 2001 and, after 15 years and hundreds of modifications, couldn't think of another thing I wanted to do to it - it was finally done. I sold it. |
1986 HARLEY FXRS-sp CREDITS I owned this bike for many, many years, and here are a just a few "thank yous": Glenn Taylor for painting the "Milwaukee Ghosts" on the sidecovers. Tom McTamney of both Mac's Motorcycles and Liberty Harley -Davidson for fabrication and construction. Scott Covert of Liberty Harley-Davidson for engine and transmission construction. Frank Bao of Eagle Motor Company for the Blower. |
