Vehicle Description
This vehicle is being sold as Lot No. S236.
- Like an aging veteran brought off the bench, the FXR was back in the game in 1999 when Harley launched its CVO (Custom Vehicle Operations) program with two models, the FXR2, with a 21-inch laced front wheel, and the FXR3, with a 19-inch cast front wheel
- CVO was intended to produce exclusive, low-volume custom bikes, and only 900 examples of each of the 1999 models were built
- For 2000, CVO assembled a 1,000-unit run of the FXR4, which marked the real end of FXR production
- The old story that Harley launched CVO to use up a dusty pile of FXR frames it found in a corner is not true, according to experts
- The tooling was on hand, and the bikes could be built for a limited run without disrupting regular production
- Since then the reputation of the FXR as "best Harley ever" has stuck, and in the minds of former owners, it's probably the truth
