The 1986 Harley FXR is typically equipped with a Keihin carburetor, specifically the CV (Constant Velocity) type. This carburetor is known for its reliability and smooth performance, featuring a diaphragm-operated slide that adjusts airflow based on engine demand. The CV carburetor helps provide better fuel efficiency and throttle response compared to earlier models.
The 1983 FXSB came stock with a Keihin B28E 38mm butterfly-type carburetor. First use of the Keihin CV carb was in '89 for Sportsters and '90 for all big-twins.
Harley stopped using carburetors on all their bikes after 2006; now they're all fuel injected. But the last type of carb used was the Keihin CV (constant velocity) which was based on the British Amal slide carb from the Forties. Before that they used a Keihin butterfly carb, and before that a Bendix-Zenith, and before that a Tillotson, and before that a Linkert, and before that a Schebler and the very first Harley carbs were made by the founders themselves, with the help of Ole Evinrude of outboard motor fame.
A 2002 Sportster has a Keihin Constant Velocity (CV) carburetor, 40mm.

Use Harley trans Fluid or Harley Formula +
I have a 2005 Tacoma 4WD and put my 1986 Harley FXR in the back. No problem with the weight at all. Be very careful how you load the bike. The tailgate is not built to support that kind of weight and will bend in the middle as you load the bike.

I am actually the one who posted this. To further this question it is burning rich at an idle and I can not find any kind of adjustment on the carb to change this. Any help will be appriceated.

You should only use Harley transmission fluid from the dealership. It's engineered by Harley for their transmissions.
keihein, if i spelled it correctly.
A stock carb is a 34 Pict 3. It will say so on the left side of the carb body.
