    This thing is so good. From the fab work to the entire aesthetic of the bike. I think he hit the nail on the head. Dream bike material in my book. Well done.

    An M8 FXR has been my dream for several years but being a disabled veteran living on basically nothing there’s been no way for me to realize this dream. Congratulations on a job well done.

    I wanted to buy a FXR for my first HD but I’m no mechanic so I bought a FXLRST for reliability reasons. I’d absolutely love to have a FXR with a M8. That’s a beautiful ride!

    Best spotlight to date. Cory was very well spoken explaining all the details, saw this bike at born free. I knew it was a unique build. Sound on the spotlight was prefect Ben.

    Correction on my part: I referred the the drivetrain as 'air-cooled', when it's technically 'oil-cooled'. Doh!

    • @getBenTmoto
      @getBenTmoto  Рік тому

      The cold start is in there right after the outro. I put the startups in there almost every video. Riding shots don’t always happen just because it’s time consuming and either the interviewee, or myself, doesn’t have the time. It’s on my to do list for the future, just not always possible.

  • @charlesprice7608
    @charlesprice7608 Рік тому +2

    I would argue the 80 inch EVO was a more reliable engine than the M8, modern doesn’t necessarily mean reliable.

  • @DeadRoman
    @DeadRoman Рік тому

    I dont know a lot about CAN bus, BUT, impedance and resistance, while they can both exist in a ckt, this can only happen in an A/C ckt. Impedence is the total opposition to current flow in an A/C ckt. Just a little electrical knowledge to help you out down the line.

    Question the rigidity of the frame (backbone, swingarm) with all those alterations. The FXR is known for being stout, wonder if it kept that.

    Harley, if ya see this comment, just start making fxr frames again with current power plants….It used to not be cost effective but you charge so much for a Harley now a days, I’m sure you could do it. Modernize the FXR for fuck sakes.
