1986 Harley-Davidson FXRD

What was your intended objective when you started the build?

Make it the same as the one I previously owned.

What motivated you to start your project?

I owned one before but had to sell it due to 􀋡nancial reason. I
regretted selling it so I was determined to 􀋡nd another one just like
it.

What was the most unique and creative thing you did to the bike?

The rear wheel is a very rare, 9-spoke, 18” AMF wheel from the late
1970’s.

What are you most proud of?

How it came out and the compliments I get on it every single time I
take it out.

What do other people say about your motorcycle?

It’s beautiful, what a classic, great job.
