I have found the FXR very interesting but I was looking for a bit of info and I can't seem to find it, How many FXR's were built by Harley?  I have seen lot's of replys on where I can get this info but simply put can anyone tell me how many were built. Phoning harley doesn't work for me and the production numbers are hard to find.

how many FXR's were built , I just want to compare Knucklehead numbers against FXR numbers to see which is more rare.

Harley Davidson FXR was produced in various models from 1982-1994 and again from 1999-2000. Plus there was the FXR 2,3 AND 4 platform so exactly what numbers are you looking for? There were many variations made so those numbers are going to be big unless your looking for a certain year or model.
79 80"FLH, 86 FXR, 96 FLHR

Knuckleheads are engine's , FXR's are frames.  Comparison is not meaningful?
I'm starting to believe my body is gonna outlast my mind.

this seems to be the most difficult question I have ever tried to answer on the net. Seems simple to me. How many FXR's were built by Harley the total number is what I'm looking for?  I can not find this number does any one know?

Since you're looking for FXR production #'s, I'm assuming that you already have your knucklehead  #'s, which would be the total number of motorcycles that the MoCo produced in that 1936-47 era  :scratch:

Anyway, for the FXR production #'s, try this site.  Took me two minutes to google it, i.e., not too hard to find.  http://www.hdfxr.dk/public/fxr/fxrmodels.aspx
It lists each model alphabetically in chronologic order, so get out the calculator and please let us know your findings... :pop:

BTW, how many Knuckleheads were produced (by the MoCo)?   :fish:

Flawed concept anyway because there's more to rarity than production numbers. With all the scrap drives or just plain old hauling them to the ditch it wouldn't matter if they made twice as many knucks, many are gone. Fxr's are everywhere.

+1  :up:  It would seem that the first several years of the 15-year ('82-'94 + the CVO '99-'00) FXR production run would have surpassed the remaining number of knuckleheads, which would have been at least 40-years-old and born from an era when production numbers were nowhere near the production levels in the 80's and 90's.

Thanks for the info on production numbers. I was just curious about how many FXR's were produced. There were a lot of numbers and my math is only average so I might have missed some numbers or made some mistakes. But I did try my best. So the magic number of FXR's produced is 84,731 all models and all years starting from 1982 to 1994 and including FXR2 FXR3 and FXR4.
I was just trying to compare FXR's to Knuckle Heads but that was like comparing apples to oranges. There really is no way to compare the 2 models of Harleys.
In 1984 Harley built 2810 FXR low glide's and I own one of them.

Not sure how accurate that total is from all the models on that site, since there were no production #'s given for the '94 FXLR and the '93 FXRS-CONV and a few other early 90's models...

There were several years and models listed a "0" production numbers. I can only go by what I saw.
