I am looking for a fxr with a 1340 that is in need of much attention. It is going to be a frame off build, so as long as the frame is straight i am happy, broken or blown motors, not running! WHO WANTS TO PART WITH WHAT?

The bike is a little different now...Ness BS2, lower windshield, thinner seat and smaller FG seat pan...100/100 with PM brakes and alum rims...
Fun bike until it blew up...It's coming back with a 103" stroker crankshaft....Got 4 soft track tires left for the back....& no chicken strips..

The oil pump grenaded and really bent the crankshaft, messed up cam plate too.
Harley blamed me for not alligning oil pump when I put in And. 37h cams 4k ago.
There is not even an allignment procedure for the new pump...
I think excess runout killed the oil pump...Is Harley trying to hose me...?

So in 1979 when I bought my first motorcycle, a Yamaha XS750, my Dad began the sh1tstorm, and it raged for decades.

See, he used to ride in the late '50's and early '60's - had a '49 Harley that he chopped the crap out, then got a '52 Indian. When he couldn't keep that running reliably while raising four kids he got a Honda Scrambler - my first ride. But after working his way through college and getting a "respectable" job as a teacher he gave up riding, leaving it to "the less fortunate".

So when his sons enlisted in the military and one had the further lack of propriety to buy a motorcycle, he frothed and spewed about it constantly. Not what the children of a native San Franciscan educator should be stooping to. Should have gone to college, become lawyers, and tranced...
