Recalls that may apply

92V108000, July 22, 1992 (1986 to 1992 FXR): The fuel tank leaked in impact testing done by Harley-Davidson. Fix: Repair the motorcycles so the tank does not spill fuel.
92V173000, November 30, 1992 (1990 to 1991 FXR): The carburetor fuel inlet needle might not seal against its seat, so the overflow could leak fuel onto the ground. Fix: Replace the fuel inlet needle.

Whether a recall covers one bike depends on its VIN. Check it at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
