Though the Harley-Davidson FXR has been missing from dealerships for over twenty years, that doesn't mean interest has faded. In fact, many riders consider it the best machine Harley-Davidson ever made. If the sheer number of clubs and dedicated social media pages is any indication, the FXR is alive, well, and highly sought after.
Casual riders and hard-core FXR enthusiasts alike will find this book both deeply entertaining and highly informative. The front section features clear, concise chapters covering FXR history, year-by-year production changes, the unique FXR frame, common electrical issues, drivetrain options (including Twin Cam swaps), and step-by-step planning for a complete custom build.
The heart of the book is a series of detailed features showcasing a wide variety of modified FXRs. From classic Shovelheads and aggressive Café models to high-performance Twin-Cam-powered FXRs and pristine, over-restored FXRTs, it is all covered here (along with a few standout Dynas for comparison).
Written by well-known automotive author Timothy Remus with insights from famous bike builders, the Harley-Davidson FXR Bible delivers 144 pages and over 350 clean color photographs. Packed with well-illustrated information and zero fluff, if you ride an FXR or plan to build one, this is the definitive guide you need.
Author of forty-plus titles, Timothy Remus started his adult life as an automotive mechanic. After fifteen years in the trade, Timothy gradually spent less time working on cars and more time assembling printed material-first for a regional motorcycle magazine, then on a series of books for Motorbooks, and finally as the publisher of his own how-to books. As the owner of Wolfgang Publications, Timothy has published his own highly successful work as well as titles for various other talented authors. His latest definitive motorcycle guides include the Harley-Davidson FXR Bible and Harley-Davidson Performance Bagger.
