What's On Your Lift?
What started as a stock 1982 FXR has been transformed into a high-performance machine, thanks to a full year of vision, planning, and wrench time.
 
This isn’t just a restoration—it’s a reinvention. Powered by a 111" S&S engine and equipped with a BAKER Overdrive 6-Speed gearset, Scott’s FXR is built to move fast, shift smooth, and lift the front wheel with ease.
 
The result? A modern-day speed machine with old-school roots—and one serious attitude.
 
Check out Scott's interview with Speed-Kings to learn more about this incredible build and the wild rides it’s sure to take.

What our customers are saying:
 
"Love the 1.5+ Baker oil pan. Keeps my engine running cooler and more efficient. Craftsmanship is excellent." - Brian L.
 
"I have an S&S 126 on my Road King. The temps on a hot day ranged from 230-240. I installed the 1.5 and started using Amsoil and my temps now stay in the 180-190 range. I haven't seen my bike exceed 190 on hot days after hard rides. I know this sounds like BS and I wouldn't have believed it myself if I hadn't seen it with my on eyes. I know they're expensive, but not as expensive as replacing an engine. This thing really works." - David C.
 
"From communications with the administrative assistant through the installation, the process was flawless. The oil pan is of exceptional quality. My HD runs cooler." - Anonymous
