FXRP rebuild

 I took a few pics of the Pigbike
once I got it up to the roller stage.
Turned out to be poor quality shots
for some reason, but you can get
the idea.

This is why choppers exist.  Even the
ugly FXR frame looks bad-ass when
it's in the bare-bones form.

Big thanks to dp for providing a great
page for folks to share pics.

 I envy you. I had a 1990 FXR and it was a great bike. Some guy in Baton Rouge
offered me more than I had in it and I fell to temptation. Just get that darned
oil filter mount tight and secure! It's a pain to get at later.

I agree -- they are great bikes.  You hardly ever
see any out and about anymore.


Yep.  Forgot the filter mount until after
I got the starter installed (but before the
swingarm and rear wheel).  Had to pull the
starter to get the filter mount attached.
Loctited and torqued the bolt to spec.
I'm hoping it holds.

Mickey Rourke got it right
I like your bike bench
Have you seen the 3 piece model where you can remove the center
section?, pretty neat

kickstart

 
Thanks.  I'm real happy with it.  Fifty bucks
or so worth of lumber and a world of difference
working on the bikes.

I built a ramp for it too.  And I mounted
a winch on the wall so I have complete
control pulling a bike onto the bench
and rolling it back off.  One man
operation.


Is that where the magician cuts his
assistant in half?
