As someone who's had a 86 fxr since I was 14. Keep the low rider, I love my fxr and would never trade or sell it. However, a FXDXT is what I'll have next for sure.
Thrown together bike that’s sicker then 99% of other ones! 😂 Really dig the walk around and breakdown of parts, awesome work man! Can’t wait to see the fxdx one as well!
That dash is beautiful. I also like to mismatch parts and colors because it keeps things interesting. You always have a great eye for style man. The doberman bike will forever be one of my favorites.
Thanks. Literally everything on this bike I had sitting on a shelf. It turned out nice but sometimes bikes made from leftover parts are my favorite. I don’t have to worry about everything matching and being perfect.
I love your FXR build. Maybe a parts bin bike, but one of the nicest I’ve ever seen. Looking for a beater FXR to build on my own style too. Good job man
Bitchin bike bro. I’ve been a fan of your work for a few years now. I’m an evo guy so this bike is right up my alley. Love it. Great job on it. Love the built with what you have theme. Fits evo’s 🔥
It’s hard to say. So many other factors at play (motor mounts, bearing condition, tires etc) I think when you have a longer front end it probably helps, the one I am running is very thin, so I don’t have the most confidence in it, the HD screaming eagle one, on the other hand is much more solid and fells like it would eliminate flex.
Hi, I have a set of rear shocks like yours. Where did you say are some guys that can service and set them for my bike and my weight? Thanks in advance for the info. Nice build.
Nice bike. Can you tell me which backing plate you used with the mikuni? I have a 103" evo and im not sure what bracket will because of the taller cylinders.
I have a 87 with a 89 inch stroker kit dark horse lower end and a voo doo cam SS carb dyna single fire Ignition super trap pipe very very fun motor not a monster but very happy was talked out of using a 111 SS crate motor what do you think thank you
Sounds like a fun set up. The 111 are good but they are also kind of a mild combination. You could always go wilder. There is no replacement for displacement as they say, but then you know, it’s never ending.. I’m sure your setup is plenty, and reliable.
Hey, I have a 85' FXR and due to a fused left wrist and painful AF tennis elbow, I'm having a hard time riding because the clutch is really hard to pull in. Think it may even have some kind of aftermarket/stronger clutch. Any suggestions on what I could do to make it pull in much easier without compressing too much? Thanks
Rivera or American prime make a “pro-clutch” they are very easy to pull due to the diaphragm spring. I would recommend that to start. Someone also make a lever mount e-z pull system. That would help alot
Actually, no. Speaking about the tank, he said that he always liked the black and orange. Then he said that he thought that this color pinstripe was a very nice contrast to it.
Finally, a biker and his bad ass bike. Refreshing break from all the goofy dynabros, their gay knit gloves, farmer shirts (flannel), and their "bolt-on' customs. The Laidlaw minions. Bikers will live forever. Dynabros... here today; gone soon. Great build.
Love the contrast of the alu Sportster bars, awesome build mate. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you like them!
I got Fxlrs, but deep in my heart, I know I want performance Fxr
Careful what you wish for. These are great but a new FXLRS is hard to beat!! Just sayin

Thanks! Lots more to come!!
I think all those parts work perfectly together. It’s a time period correct 1993 hot rod.
A Thing of Beauty….💖
Dope ass Fxr Oliver
Hands down one of the coolest fxr builds I have seen, the pin striping, thunder stars and quarter fairing make this bike, killer job man!
Thank you. It’s a fun one
Appreciate the walkaround of this rad fxr. Killer combo of parts. The end result is super stylish and clearly a ripper.
Thanks! I plan on doing more walk around on some of the other bikes as well so stay tuned
That’s a great set up.👍
Beautiful mix of new and old.
Glad you like it!
Dude this thing is freaking bad ass ! Beautiful work, one day i will build an FXR.
No time like the present. Get after it!
Casual build turns out to be a badass ripper
Thanks. Sometimes the best ones just build themselves from spare parts.
That dash is beautiful. I also like to mismatch parts and colors because it keeps things interesting. You always have a great eye for style man. The doberman bike will forever be one of my favorites.
Thank you! Cheers!
I Love your approach to bike building ❤
I appreciate it. Thank you
I feel the same way about the Thunderheader! Great build
Thanks!
That's such a rad fxr🤘🛵
Them fender struts thou !
👍💪🏼👍
I wish i had that kind of parts pile😂
Start collecting.
Idk about thrown together that thing is clean af . Awesome fxr 🙌🏻
Thanks. Literally everything on this bike I had sitting on a shelf. It turned out nice but sometimes bikes made from leftover parts are my favorite. I don’t have to worry about everything matching and being perfect.
Now thats a very nice fxr, and looks good, nice bild

Kinda how I dress nothing matches but looks like it goes together 🤷♂️🤣. Killer build 👌🏻🔥🔥🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks I appreciate it!
Nice rideable scooter! Nice touch!
Thanks! 👍
Zippers is cool...been to the shop a couple of times. Right off 95 in Elkridge...I'm on the other side of the Potomac. Sick bike man,,,,love it
Yeah great shop, lots of history.
I love your FXR build. Maybe a parts bin bike, but one of the nicest I’ve ever seen. Looking for a beater FXR to build on my own style too. Good job man
Thanks. I appreciate it. Go for it dude
Absolutely killer build (like always). 10/10 would rip.
Thanks!👍
Awesome lookin bike! Love them piggyback shocks.
Thanks! They work great!
Love the content ! Keep it coming
Thank you! Will do!
i just had a zippers 107 motor laying around. Must be nice LOL!! Great bike man. It is a tough looking bike.
I love it!
One hell of a bike!
Thanks!
Very nice well done from Australia
Thank you very much!
Very Impressive Looking Bike ,Very Good Job Brother.
Thanks again!

Badass, very well done.
Thank you! Cheers!
Stoked to see content from you (y)
Thanks I’m gonna do my best to keep it coming
The console is awesome!
Thank you
those wheels are dope.
Thanks!
Very clean
Appreciate it
Killer build🔥🤘🏼🔥
I’m pretty sure I have a set of those aluminum bars.
Thanks! I’m looking for another set if you wanna sell!
@@thecutrate1 yeah for sure, let me dig them out and I can send you some pics. What’s the best way to get ahold of you? Instagram?
@@superglidesteve yup IG
@thecutrate
The details my man.
💪🏼💪🏼👍
Sick build!
Thanks
Very nice great job😅 I have a 03 Night Train with a Zippers 107 Muscle Kit and a D D Fat Cat Take Care 🙂
That bike is awesome and the motor, has the best components, STD and Axtell best cylinders out there, too bad they both disapeared.
OUT STANDING ! Very nice build, it must rip being a 107 EVO, what is the name of your shop and where are you located ?
Thanks. I work out of long beach CA.
What size rear shocks are on there? Love the stance. Great build.
13.5”
Bad ass!
💪🏼💪🏼
Such a great bike. Very cool. I enjoyed the video man. I gotta ask…did you design that hat? It’s a cool fit
I have these custom made from vintage HD bandannas. Find me on IG I should have a new back in the next month.
What are your thoughts on that front fork brace piece?
Can you tell that it really makes a difference in faster cornering?
Thanks
It’s hard to say. So many other factors at play (motor mounts, bearing condition, tires etc) I think when you have a longer front end it probably helps, the one I am running is very thin, so I don’t have the most confidence in it, the HD screaming eagle one, on the other hand is much more solid and fells like it would eliminate flex.
Jesus you got some nice shit for just laying around in your shop!
Thanks. I spent a lot of time on the road and a lot of money at swap meets to get it. 💪🏼
Thanks for the walkaround! Do those Indian Gilroy coil covers bolt right up on the FXR?
The hole spacing is the same but I had to trim it a little for my particular set up
Rookie question but what are the blue switches on top of the cylinders by the spark plugs for?
They are compression releases. Let’s the engine spin over a few times before starting.
I’d love to find a pair of those pro racers for my 94 FXR. I’m in OC so let me know if you have any leads on some.
They are hard to find, but sometimes they pop up. Just gotta keep looking
Hi,
I have a set of rear shocks like yours. Where did you say are some guys that can service and set them for my bike and my weight? Thanks in advance for the info. Nice build.
Look up @qualityshockservice on IG
Nice bike. Can you tell me which backing plate you used with the mikuni? I have a 103" evo and im not sure what bracket will because of the taller cylinders.
Mine is adjustable for that very reason. Try zippers performance they sell one.
@@thecutrate1 ok thanks for the info.
I have a 87 with a 89 inch stroker kit dark horse lower end and a voo doo cam SS carb dyna single fire Ignition super trap pipe very very fun motor not a monster but very happy was talked out of using a 111 SS crate motor what do you think thank you

Did he say black and orange pinstriping?
Actually, no. Speaking about the tank, he said that he always liked the black and orange. Then he said that he thought that this color pinstripe was a very nice contrast to it.
Are you located in Long Beach
Yup
Do you have a shop and if so do you/ can you re wire a bike
I have a private shop, not open to the public. I can’t take on any new work right now, I’m building for a show coming up. Sorry.
Finally, a biker and his bad ass bike. Refreshing break from all the goofy dynabros, their gay knit gloves, farmer shirts (flannel), and their "bolt-on' customs. The Laidlaw minions. Bikers will live forever. Dynabros... here today; gone soon. Great build.
💪🏼💪🏼👍🏼 thanks
Sorry, 20 year career bike mechanic, I can't help but point out your right side fork seal is leaking. Nice hog!
Thanks. Yeah it’s since been replaced!
SS$SSorted
If that runs like a 124, the 124 ran like shit lol
An out of the box s&S 124” makes the same as this built 107”. So yeah about the same. A built 124 is another story.
The button to start the bike is perfect! What company is it??! Loved the video! Looking forward to the next! Thank you ~@mj_ shenanigans
Arlen ness! It’s older but yeah a simple clean one!
