Over the past 15 years or so I’ve been dealing with FXR fever on and off. Sometimes I get distracted by choppers, and sometimes a Dyna will grab my attention for a while. As of late it’s Road Glides, but I always have FXR ideas in the back of my head.

I’m always on the hunt, looking for a clean, unmolested FXR for a project, and my friends at Ghetto Choppers Customs in Oceanside, California, found a clean, yet non-running, 1992 FXRS project that was calling my name. Ghetto Choppers is owned by two FXR gurus, Tim and Chris. Sometimes when I have time I’ll help them sell bikes, parts, or anything else they need in exchange for deals on anything I need for my personal bikes. One day they made me an offer I couldn’t refuse for the FXRS, and once the deal was done we immediately made a parts list to get the project rolling. The bike already had some nice go-fast parts that came with it. Tim went through the Evolution motor top to bottom and brought it up to 95ci with stage 4 Gerolomy heads. It’s nasty. To put it lightly, it’ll give any built Twin Cam-med FXR a run for its money.

Getting power out of the mill and onto the road is a reworked and balanced five-speed transmission with undercut gears and a Bandit clutch that shifts as smooth as butter.
As for the handling of this bike, there were no shortcuts taken. I run Works Performance shocks on the rear of all my bikes. Up front we went with Race Tech Gold Emulators with +4 fork tubes and the mandatory Speed Merchant fork adjusters. In my opinion FXRs handle perfect when they are a little bit front-end high, so this combo feels perfect.
