Miracle find on your bike Cam! No wonder your Dad drove all that way to take a look! He’s got a good eye and knowledge! Congratulations again! I had forward controls on my first bike a Yamaha 650. I loved them!
Just get a crash bar/engine guard and use that to stretch rest your legs and use the passenger pegs to do the same on longer rides gotta keep that circulation going
Im 6’. I have forward controls. Way more comfortable. I also have buckhorn bars. Very easy on the arms. Swept back. I also put the front turn signals on the front forks. Cleaned up the handle bars. As you know, it’s all your call. Enjoy.
Awesome brother. Whats also awesome is you're documenting your motorcycling journey from the beginning. Wish i did that, it's priceless. And foward controls will change your life
Always liked the alloy motor and that style of mags on that bike. I’ve had a couple Dynas. That’s a neat bike. Put the forwards on, maybe even floorboards.
Cam, take tour time on the customization process. Ride your new Dyna for a bit and then go with safety items followed by comfort pieces. Most importantly, enjoy riding with your Pops. 🤜🏼
Dude there’s no other feeling like that first ride on your HD, take your time and enjoy it there’s no rush to upgrade but I know it’s almost winter and that’s what we do in the winter. Maybe look at some highway pegs instead of switching to forward controls, also check out some solo extended reach seats to help with feeling cramped.
Crash bar on front to rest your legs, leave the mid controls I learn the hard way. I'm 6' and learn to live with the mids. Does switch blades Wheels are the best, you can powder coat them. Enjoy the ride💪💪💪💪💪
Use the fuel gauge when stationary, glance at the trip meter when riding. Get an average of how many miles you get to a tank, comfortable amount of fuel left in the tank, when you get near your miles you'll know to go searching for the next fill-up. I never rode a bike with forward controls before and I love them on my 07 Street Bob.
Hi Cam! Well of course I found your channel through your dad's channel. Congrats on your new Super Glide. In my opinion the SG is a great way to get into your first Harley. My first HD was a black 2002 SG of course it had the TC 88 engine. Some of the upgrades I did to my bike was Laced wheels, chrome battery cover, chrome center console and a gage bracket which allowed me to have my speedo and tach together. I found that I paid more attention to the tach than the speedometer! Love your new ride and good luck with it. Dave
Congrats on the new first Harley bike. Can’t wait to see your channel grow and the transformation of the dyna. Good luck, also i would go with the thrashin setup
Avg. 5 10 have forwarded controls on my 14 fxwg, have stage one screaming eagle, an shorty Hines pipes, I also like I can Cruz in 6 great, drop to 5th before a deep corner an feel the, power band in low end as it kicks me out the other side, don't know if you ever caught a foot peg in corner, but I prefer a curved engine guard,
The dynas are great bikes mate, and that is a very cool bike you have. Forward controls are a game changer, and you won't regret it. I've had the 2014 street bob special, and the 2012 wide glide. I now have the 2023 LRS as I like the classic looks with the 117 M8. Good video. I'm subbed to your dads channel, and may well sub to yours if you keep the good content coming out. Ride safe Cam, from Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK 🍻
Camster, don't put any chrome covers on the lower motor area, primary area or transmission to cover the grey finish. My opinion, your asking for heating problems and unwanted weight. Go different and go apes and forward controls. I owned two 2011 FXDCI 's and own a 2006 FXDWGI. FXD' are great, so enjoy because you will be in a bagger next year (LOL).
Love a more classic look with the apes, I’m so torn over the bars. I’ll have to go piece by piece and see what I like. I’ll take everything into consideration, lots of choices to be made!
Nice 👍🏼 enjoy plus you have a good teacher he’s going to direct you to the right direction. Good luck and take your time working on it… I think apes will look way better than a Tbars. But up to you 👍🏼
Very happy to have this opportunity! I’m very torn on the bars, I also love a more classic style with the apes but I hear very good things about the T bars
I like the forward control look but I never tried them before lol so what do I know. Man I’m jealous she’s a nice bike. Both of yours are. My first bike is a nice bike but doesn’t look as nice lol I got a 99 Honda nighthawk and I never had a gas gauge or heated gear that’s cheating lol
My first was the Honda Shadow, I had forward controls on it and it was definitely more comfortable! I learned the hard way to track fuel by mileage with that bike LOL Welcome to the channel 🤘
NIce Video dude. Sucks that when your filming you don't really know the quality of the audio. I just did a Sawicki 2-1 speedy shorty install and have audio for only half of it. WTF GoPro. Cheers and im subbing up.
Commented on your dad's video yesterday that you looked cramped with the mid controls you defiantly need forwards. Nothing to crazy but forward enough to where your thighs are not upward as they seem to be in the video. Your knees looked higher than your seat.
I agree. I have forwards on my Sportster and love them , but the mids on the FXD I also love. It's nice being able to switch foot positions on longer rides and I'd definitely think of a crash bar option over forwards for the Dyna.
Miracle find on your bike Cam! No wonder your Dad drove all that way to take a look! He’s got a good eye and knowledge! Congratulations again! I had forward controls on my first bike a Yamaha 650. I loved them!
Thank you! I have forwards on my Honda Shadow and they were much more comfortable 👍
Go for the t bars man. Fit and finish is totally worth it. Makes for a comfortable ride and great performance
Just get a crash bar/engine guard and use that to stretch rest your legs and use the passenger pegs to do the same on longer rides gotta keep that circulation going
Im 6’. I have forward controls. Way more comfortable. I also have buckhorn bars. Very easy on the arms. Swept back. I also put the front turn signals on the front forks. Cleaned up the handle bars. As you know, it’s all your call. Enjoy.
Yeah I think forward controls are a must for me, my knees are almost above the tank LOL
Awesome brother. Whats also awesome is you're documenting your motorcycling journey from the beginning. Wish i did that, it's priceless. And foward controls will change your life
Definitely leaning towards forward controls, welcome to the channel, Im happy to share this with you all!
Always liked the alloy motor and that style of mags on that bike. I’ve had a couple Dynas.
That’s a neat bike. Put the forwards on, maybe even floorboards.
Forwards on the way! 👍
Hard YES on the T-Bars!
Cam, all the best with your TH-cam channel ! Clean clean bike lovin’ it.
Thank you! Very happy to share it with you all
@@Riders_Realm Thanks for sharing, you have a modern day classic there. Best wishes from the south west coast of the island of Australia :)
@@Jonathan-L my pleasure, welcome to the channel!
Cam, take tour time on the customization process. Ride your new Dyna for a bit and then go with safety items followed by comfort pieces. Most importantly, enjoy riding with your Pops. 🤜🏼
Thank you! Will definitely give it some time to see what works
Try platforms as well! They work for me
Dude there’s no other feeling like that first ride on your HD, take your time and enjoy it there’s no rush to upgrade but I know it’s almost winter and that’s what we do in the winter. Maybe look at some highway pegs instead of switching to forward controls, also check out some solo extended reach seats to help with feeling cramped.
Loved the first ride, such a big jump in power. Definitely exploring some good options, new seat on the way, stay tuned for the video!
Crash bar on front to rest your legs, leave the mid controls I learn the hard way. I'm 6' and learn to live with the mids. Does switch blades Wheels are the best, you can powder coat them. Enjoy the ride💪💪💪💪💪
Thank you! I was thinking the same thing, will definitely look into powder coating too
Also I forgot to tell you Arlen Ness sales a 15 inch rotor for the front wheel for better stopping, trust me you will feel the difference💪💪💪
Use the fuel gauge when stationary, glance at the trip meter when riding. Get an average of how many miles you get to a tank, comfortable amount of fuel left in the tank, when you get near your miles you'll know to go searching for the next fill-up.

Used to go by mileage on the shadow, no fuel gauge haha, sometimes I’d get carried away and forget LOL
love it brother keep up the good work. love the bike. you and your dad rock together. Just do you and make your bike the way you want it.
Thank you! Im happy to be able to share my vision with you all!

Very nice! I’m looking forward to building mine just the way I like it as well
Congrats on the new first Harley bike. Can’t wait to see your channel grow and the transformation of the dyna. Good luck, also i would go with the thrashin setup
Thank you! Yeah I hear the thrashin bars are very comfortable, I’ll have to look into it more 👍
As I said before nice bike cam I have a 2007 fish street bob with the 96also. Love mine too
Very nice! Gotta love the Twin Cams
LEAVE THE MID CONTROLS! T-Bars are a MUST, Saddlemen step up seat, and 2into1 shorty exhaust.
Avg. 5 10 have forwarded controls on my 14 fxwg, have stage one screaming eagle, an shorty Hines pipes, I also like I can Cruz in 6 great, drop to 5th before a deep corner an feel the, power band in low end as it kicks me out the other side, don't know if you ever caught a foot peg in corner, but I prefer a curved engine guard,
Sounds like a nice ride! Be safe
Great bike Cam!
Thanks!
new subscriber came over from your dads but hey. look forward to your content and what you do with the bike.
Welcome! Glad to share this journey with you all
Definitely do a bung king crash bar so you can stretch out and still have your control with the mids . And t bars all the way. Lol
For sure, I hear the T bars are real comfortable and I could definitely use some more leg room with a crash bar 👍
Sweet bike Cam, looking forward to seeing what you do with it.
Change that blue Quadlock switch to Black, blue sticks out like dogs balls🤣
Noiceeee 👊👍💯
😎
Stick with the mids. Get a seat that puts you back a couple inches and change your bars to create more room.
Saddlemen seat on the way! 👍
Good video. Glad you are enjoying your bike
Thanks!
Fantastic choice brother , alway keep an eye six
Thank you!!

Thank you! Welcome to the channel! I’m definitely leaning towards the forward controls, they were nice to have on the Honda Shadow
Cam I don’t ride but have heard of mid-forward, I don’t know if you can get that setup for your bike but maybe worth checking out.
I will definitely look into some options, Harley offers some very nice setups, loads of customization for this bike 😎
Camster, don't put any chrome covers on the lower motor area, primary area or transmission to cover the grey finish. My opinion, your asking for heating problems and unwanted weight.
Go different and go apes and forward controls. I owned two 2011 FXDCI 's and own a 2006 FXDWGI. FXD' are great, so enjoy because you will be in a bagger next year (LOL).
Love a more classic look with the apes, I’m so torn over the bars. I’ll have to go piece by piece and see what I like. I’ll take everything into consideration, lots of choices to be made!
I think you would be happy with the forward controls. Beautiful bike my man rubber side down shiny side up 🤘💀🤘
That’s the way we roll 🤘
Welcome to the channel!
I can wait to see what you do to your bike. Congrats I’m subscribed
Glad you’re here for the ride, welcome to the channel!
Nice 👍🏼 enjoy plus you have a good teacher he’s going to direct you to the right direction. Good luck and take your time working on it… I think apes will look way better than a Tbars. But up to you 👍🏼
Very happy to have this opportunity! I’m very torn on the bars, I also love a more classic style with the apes but I hear very good things about the T bars
@@Riders_Realm nice 👍🏼 take your time and install what you think is good for you 💪🏼💪🏼
How long before you two swap bikes on a ride?
I’ll convince him soon enough LOL
Nice bike, enjoy ride safe
Thank you!
I like the forward control look but I never tried them before lol so what do I know. Man I’m jealous she’s a nice bike. Both of yours are. My first bike is a nice bike but doesn’t look as nice lol I got a 99 Honda nighthawk and I never had a gas gauge or heated gear that’s cheating lol

Welcome to the channel 🤘
Try putting a seat that will move you back 2 inches.
Hey bud check out the lucky Dave’s T bars 11”
I’ll check them out! Definitely need to stretch my arms out more
Nice
Thanks!
NIce Video dude. Sucks that when your filming you don't really know the quality of the audio. I just did a Sawicki 2-1 speedy shorty install and have audio for only half of it. WTF GoPro. Cheers and im subbing up.
LOL, had to re-shoot clips a solid few times. Trial and error! Welcome to the channel
Great video 🤙🏽
Thanks!
Put highway pegs on the dyna, if you're 5'8" or taller. Two nice bikes.
Definitely, I’ve got them on the Shadow and it was a game changer
Commented on your dad's video yesterday that you looked cramped with the mid controls you defiantly need forwards. Nothing to crazy but forward enough to where your thighs are not upward as they seem to be in the video. Your knees looked higher than your seat.
Exactly what I’m thinking, better handling with mid controls but at what cost? LOL, I felt very jammed up
Put a crash bar, too stretch your legs on the highway.
TC Bros @ Burley brand make alot of parts for this bike.
I agree. I have forwards on my Sportster and love them , but the mids on the FXD I also love. It's nice being able to switch foot positions on longer rides and I'd definitely think of a crash bar option over forwards for the Dyna.
For sure, have one on the Shadow with some highway pegs, big difference 👍
T-bars 4sho
I hear great things about them!
