What I saw was a nice looking and much enjoyed FXRP with some big changes that aren’t readily apparent at first. It still had the look of an ex-cop bike, but without all the lights and siren and ticket books. Changes were made where it counted for this rider who rides the hell out of it as you can tell by the road grime which is a badge of honor to some of us and not just a dirty bike.

   The biggest change occurred within the FXRP’s rubber mounts where the stock 80-inch Evo was replaced with a much more powerful 111-inch S&S engine. The again revolutionary at the time for Harley, stock 5-speed tranny was removed and a more highway-friendly 6-speed tranny was substituted. Power from the tranny is now passed to the rear wheel via a chain drive that allows easy gearing changes compared to a belt.

  Obviously nothing was done for strictly cosmetic reasons, but that makes it even more appealing to me. He changed the stock handlebar risers to nine-inch ones that bring the bars up quite a bit, but he still retained the OEM instruments in their new higher, but still stock location. A Corbin custom-made seat along with altered foot pegs improves the comfort of this hot rod.
