Make: 1989 Harley Davidson 1200 XL Softtail Custom
Model: FXR
41mm FLH fork leg with dual old style rotors
6" riser with drag bar
JB brake, with 2 start/off & horn switch only.
5b gal softail gas tank.

There were actually two bikes built for the movie because
the first bike barked up so much that it wouldn't idle.
The bike was actually not made for the movie. Mickey
drew the bike up on a cocktail napkin and when the producers
saw the idea they thought it was perfect for the movie. The other
interesting fact is that the seat has no padding what so ever.
It was a custom built seat made by taking a piece of sheet
metal and attaching a piece of leather to it by velcro. The
tank graphic was designed by Mickey himself and the artist is a secret.
The initials on the cards stand for a special friend in Mickey's life at that time.
The final product ended up the way it is because Mickey walked
in about half way through production
and said "That's exactely what I want!".

Modifications: An FXR frame with a hardtail conversion,
they took the rear shocks off and welded metal tubing
instead. The front end is raked 30 degrees.
They cut the bike neck and pushed the forks foward
in the front end to stretch it out.
Chrome time, they put more chrome on this
bike than a million mag wheels! Its engine has also been
modified, 120 cubic inch stroked. Finally they put an extra
fat tyre on the back and added drag pipes to the exhaust
for that extra deep note we love!

There is no such thing as an "XL 1200 Softail" or "XL 1200 FXR". The bike is an '89 FXR with a factory 80" motor which was modified.
