As I Dyna owner I’ll say this. They are awesome bikes and they’ll be HD’s McRib Sandwich for years to come.
Allan H yes sirrrr 👌
And as a McRib lover and come this saturday a 2012 Wide Glide owner..... Great analogy.
@@redriders7149 You’ll love it brother. I’ve had so many people try to buy mine it’s not even funny. I always tell them oh and I guess you want my gf too huh? Always gets a laugh.
@@ahenderson65 i think so to, in putting an american elite 200-55/17 on the rear and a dunlop 90/90/21 on the front. Shes a 2012 wg with original tires...lol. 7K miles for 9K. Id have loved to be closer to 8 but at 8k they all had scratches and dings. Ohh well.
So overrated and bound to give you diarrhea?
I just sold my Honda shadow 750 just today and used that money to go get myself a bike I been looking at for a while
Originally was going to get an iron 883 but i wanted something with more power and 6 gears for highways
So I got a 2007 Dyna superglide 👌🏼👌🏼
My first Harley was a 94 Sporty 1200 joved that bike, still got it actually. Bought my 2012Superglide about 7 years ago. At 5ft 5 it just fits me so much better than the Sporty 😊❤
I have a quote for you from the Bible, proving that Moses was the first motorcyclist:
'And the sound of his Triumph was heard throughout the land.' 😄
So there you have it!
Dude I love listening to your stories when your brain is more focused on riding. 😂😂 Its great!! Lol
You need those words of wisdom my friend and here are a few more for you, start wearing some proper riding gear, skin grafts are not cool, thank me later, ✌
Even though it's my first bike, I down right love my '06 Low Rider. No Regrets, and tons of fun as a Stage I w/t PC-V. Even though I'm plenty used too it, I test rode a 2016 Street Glide, and totally shocked, it was a tad easier to throw around than my Dyna. Street Glide is my next bike, but I'm not getting rid of my Dyna!
I also have a 06 dyna and a 16 dyna s , 06 is cruder and 16 is hot rod
02 Super. Gotta have the "precious cargo" (+ tall sissybar so she dont fall off!).
I needed the words of wisdom today, man; thanks, brother.
Hey the fact is the Dyna did not sell enough units.
Dude, folks have a hardcore dyna following with tons of aftermarket stuff to accommodate the scenes. They dropped it because who ever is running Harley is a loon!
@Samuel Gunner you're right, no one cares
I loooove my dyna. And I also love the vibrations at idle and rollin along. Reminds me of a big cammed v8 street car that rocks side to side at idle. Yeah baby!! 🇦🇺
The sound of freedom
The dyna is just a motorcycle plain and simple, I started out on triumphs,sportsters, superglides then I got old and wanted bags windshield and a heavy long distance bike now I’m real old and want just the plain simple motorcycle again went in a complete circle
Rode a 99 Dyna Superglide for 6 years until I bought a Road King. The Dyna handled better, and definitely had the power. 615 lbs dry was perfect. Power to weight was great in my opinion. Miss my Dyna
The "B" motor, is the solftail motor line. "B" stands for balanced. The Dyna has the "A" or standard, rubber mounted motor. The Dyna is the one that shakes at stoplights. If it has exposed rear shocks, it's in the Dyna family.
sportster has exposed rear shocks, as well as the fxr and all touring frames if they were to remove the bags.
@@jradish Exactly my 08 Nightster has exposed rear shocks
Secondary primary drive on the left with shocks is a Dyna.
Mine too. A 2012 Superglide.
Shocks are gone from the DYNA line now. Now they have softail suspension or damn close to the same (hidden shocks). If they want to play the hide the shocks game it would be nice to see a mono shock design.
Additionally why do guys who buy rockets for less Cha Ching. Get Ohlin forks and Brembo brakes. Right there Harley has two major setbacks for their hotrod the DYNA.
If I could institute a standard for motorcycles. It would be anything over 600cc must have duel front disk brakes.
Paint my picture (minus a mono-shock) and I bet you have some ideas floating around.
Wish we had a motorcycle junk yard where I live. I would be their weekly waiting on the crashed rocket with a good set of Ohlin front forks that are the right dimensions.
I also kick myself every day for not ordering a FXDX. I got my FXD a 2000 that was built APR 1999. Germany we could pick the model and that was all.
The dyna as a rubber mount motor. The "B" motor stands for balanced motor like what's on the soft tail. I have a black 2003 super glide with a solo seat and down and out drag pipes. Put different jets on it. Plan on mild cam next winter. I WON my bike at the Zanesville, OH Vietnam Vets Bike Show. Four days later I rode her out to Sturgis from southeast Ohio. My first 1000 mile pip change was in Carson City, Iowa. It was freaking one of the best experiences I've ever had.
Ole blackie had 7 miles on her when I got her. Her and I have had some adventures. She has lasted longer than any man has...lol..! My dyna is the perfect bike for me. The sportsters are top heavy and dont have enough ass for me to be happy riding one for long. My bike was meant for me, she is perfect. The dyna handles fantastic. I can throw into the turns with ease. I
can handle a street glide just fine, but I'm going to be perfectly honest it's the parking that's a pain. Theres times when parking isnt ideal I have to strategically park it. I'm not to ashamed to admit it. Im a women and at times it's just to damn heavy. I don't like anyone touchinv my bike or help me back up so the Dyna is perfect for me. If they come.out with a limited edition Ill have one! With harleys bigger motor wow she will be wicked.
Mary Lee sweet.
Enjoy yourself that whats its all about ey.
Im not into harleys meself but 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺 this is what id buy if i went to harley tho. Bigger than a sportster smaller than the whatever is bigger lol (i dunno i ride a Z900 😂👍🏿)
Thanks for your "B" correction! Some engines are mounted to the frame without isolators.
Very kool
I ride a RK and feel the same as you and your Dyna-they're great bikes.
My Dyna is amazing. I will probably keep it forever.
killaco23 I love my dyna too!! I'll never sell it either!
me too, I will never will never let my dyna go!
mystic1754 prolly still barely hits low 12s maybe high 11s
Sean Butler I run low 12s with a stage 1. So!?
killaco23 no you dont stage 1, no you dont, not unless you weigh 120lbs wet not happening maybe 12.7-12.9, most stage 4-5 dynas can barely hit 11.8-12.2 i guarantee you arent hitting those numbers on a stage 1.
Best bike I ever had was a 2002 Dyna Wide Glide. It was carbureted and did that awesome tha thump tha thump tha thump ide 😎. It would idle so slow and always drew a crowd when I fired it up. People don’t get to hear the old Harley idle sound anymore. I sold it 3 years ago and deeply regret it. I wanted to take long rides and I got pretty stiff and sore on it after awhile. But I shoulda just kept it as a last of its kind trophy. I think in the future it won’t be knuckleheads that’s so rare...it will be Harley’s that had a carbed engine at all! Big mistake. Matter of fact I think I’m going to find a 2003 100th anniversary model and store it away. Not a big deal now but give it another 30 years
Okay okay I'm sold ! How much for that bike Preacher Man ?
I wanted a wide glide since I graduated high school in 08 and I finally got a 2016 2 days ago! I absolutely love it!
"Back in Jesus's time when people rode motorcycles". Love it!
I’m a new first time Harley owner. Got an 05 Superglide Custom with efi. Has a Dakota digital dash. PM brakes, rotors, and billet wheels. Tbars. Cams. 100ci kit. It’s so much slower than my 07 ZX10R still but the Harley is better. It’s more comfortable right off. Crotch rockets suck for any type of long distance.
Amen to that
I have a 94 Wide Glide with just over 16000 original miles. Also have a 98 heritage. People ask me which one I like better. I put it like this. I've been married Faithfully for over 26 years to my wonderful wife. On those days I go out to the garage to play with one of my two mistresses. If I feel like a smooth classy elegant ride I grabbed the heritage. On those days I feel nasty I grabbed the Dyna. She Rumbles and Shakes and lets me get free and loose and wild with her. For those that ride they understand the love affair. PS my wife rides her own bike as well.
DYNAS were just starting to get popular! Thanks to them cali stunt riders doing wheelies and etc. Bad move by Harley.
SouthernBLACKneck ....cough cough sons of anarchy cough cough.....
SOA made motorcyclying popular not dynas! Club style dynas were being built before the show. Let me guess SOA made ape hangers(mayans) popular too? Oh and the Baggers(Grim Bastards)? The Orange Dyna(Grim Bastards)? Which was built by Goldie of 1down MC! Stop using the SOA Excuse!
I think every move Harley does is a bad one lol
SouthernBLACKneck Well said man. It gets old hearing people think that.
Not really. New Softails ride better than built Dynas, and they can pull off retro hardtail looks while riding better than built Dynas! I sold a clubbed Low Rider to buy a Softail Street Bob, and I've never been faster.
My first harley was a 1948 police bike back in the 60's. I just bought a 1997 dyna wide glide and it seems like a decent bike. Not sure why they would drop the line.
HD got rid of them because they were affordable and reliable and you can’t make money on something that’s rarely in the shop.
if harley re introduced an fxr line. pfft. theyd make ALOT of money
That would turn it back into a waiting list. Check this guy. He has it.
th-cam.com/video/Rj8g7EvaLpM/w-d-xo.html
Amen
Absolutely. I'd have one.
i have a 92 low rider custom, my buddy has a FXR3 in mint condition, he wants to sell it, i told him hes crazy.
I have a 1987 fxlr with an v124. She’s a beast!
If we were buying harleys for speed everyone would be on vrods.....harley engine my dyna superglide keeps up with them dosnt overtake but keeps up...this video is about harley davidsons not Japan bikes lol dynas are good strong and more reliable then softails
The Dyna line was dropped as part of a costs saving move. They went to a semi-modular manufacturing process. All new models will use the same motor, mounted in a very similar frame, (certainly with the same motor mount at it's heart) with a lot of interchangeable parts. The sales leader for the last few years of the mixed models was the soft-tail. So now, all bikes for the most part will be variations on the soft-tail. This saves a lot in tooling, training, and manufacturing expenses. Even the options on the motor are modular, basically what size bore do you want in the cylinders?
One apparently overlooked advantage for the owners in this move is that maintenance and aftermarket upgrading will be simplified. But in a way, the company sold it's soul with this move, as most of their line will now just be variations of the same model. This may come back to hurt the company in the long run, but time will tell. I remember the fuss back when the EVO motor came out and all the predictions for the end of the company back then. (Yeah, I'm that old, much older than that, too. I can remember when panheads were cut into choppers because there were a lot of cheap ones around. I'm practically ancient :D) I can see the possibility of the line being expanded again in the future if the market allows.
They are having some teething pains right now, which is not unusual for a new engine and model of any vehicle. If you do buy a new (2018) Harley, avoid any model with a hydraulic clutch which IIRC is only on the big touring bikes at this point. They are having an issue with oil migration on those, and haven't found a fix yet. There are also reports of oil sumping issues on some M8 motors that have been aftermarket upgraded. In no way am I saying not to buy a Harley if you want one, just to be aware of the issues and know what to watch out for at the dealer.
Thank You for the information.
I love my 2013 wide glide, wouldn't trade it for anything.
Softails had the "B" motor of the Twin Cam. Dynas and Touring models shared the rubber mounted twin cams until the Milwaukee 8 came out and the dyna was nixed. Ride safe bro!
+J Lip06 oh cool thanks for clearing that up for me.
Srkcycles it's all good brother! You're spot on about the Dyna's man. Not many people bought Dynas, and people now miss what they don't have. I know those that have them, including myself, love them!
"B" was counterbalanced bit more than the other Twin Cam motors.
"B" for Balanced. Not on the Dyna bikes.
Layman Scott correctomundo.b motors are counterbalanced cause they're rigid mount in softails.i love the dyna shake at idle feels soo good and smooths out perfectly at speed.rip dynas 1991-2017.i love my 01 fxdwg man that's 4ever.
So a little explination on why Harley dropped the Dyna, from a Harley salesman, and total Dyna bro.
The long story short is the new 18 Softtail frame made the Dyna frame obsolete, so they combined the lines.
Now a slightly more nerdy in depth commentary. So the Dyna frame was always a lightweight agile platform, vs the Softtail was always a heavier more rigid platform. Due to it's light weight frame the Dyna was less rigid and more prone to twisting under stress even under it's own power. (Magic numbers being around 100-110 ftlbs or hp) when they redesigned the new Softtail frame I'm 2018 they were able to chave 35lbs of weight and make it 34% more rigid. This made the Dyna obsolete, as you now had a Softtail frame that was as light as a Dyna and even more rigid than previous Softtail models. that's why they moved some of the most popular dyna models over to the new Softtail platform, such as the lowrider and FatBob as well as revived a few previously defunct dyna models such as the FXDR, and Sport Glide. I'm sure with Harley's promise to release some obnoxious number of models over the next ten years we will see more dyna models make the same switch.(wide glide super glide ect)
From a world market standpoint. Emmision standards in Europe are very strict, the engines used in the old dynas aren't up to par so they'd be losing 1/5 of their market automatically, either they drop the line, or change the engine. And as you said, the frame is obsolete, might as well merge them into softails. Same reason they dropped so many sportsters, the evo engine doesn't meet the strict standards in europe
Yeah but the softball framed dynas are ugly. I have 16 and I love it also have an older fxr but they new frame nope I just can't do it
My 2005 TC 88 Lowrider EFI Is just an awesome motorcycle!
HD has a habit of making stupid moves. India, China, dropping Buell in 2010, and now this. What's next? Electric bikes or that new dual sport bike?
Dyna all the way I'm not riding something called (soft tail) it aint right Bobby
went on a ride with about 100 harleys last weekend and 2 dyna in the pack. My lowrider and a street bob. Every stop sucked waiting on those heavy slugs to get up some speed. I like my dyna power
Brandon Taylor your dyna does .2 -.5 faster in the 1/4 mile stock..... And calling a harley powerful.... All i gotta say is ehhhhhh my 750 honda magna, which is a cruiser btw, would destroy any dyna and any m8 stock to stock.
Sean Butler Harleys are powerful, just because your bike goes faster doesn't mean you have to "1-up" this guy.
Sean Butler, a honda will never be as cool as a Harley.
If I wanted fast I would have kept my CBR1000RR. That's not where I am in life anymore. The Yamaha VMax murders every cruiser on the market but you don't see everyone jumping for a 200hp cruiser.
F C my vtx1800 was made in America. 😉 harley gets built outside the freedom walls.
It's funny that you mentioned the size. I've always considered the Dyna to be the grown man's version of the Sportster! (No offense Sportster riders. I have a 6 foot 4 bouncer friend who rides a Sportster because he likes the look).
Got my Dyna!
Never giving it up!
Super Glide Sport!
Picking up an 03 tomorrow. Cant wait!
Jesus rode a Wideglide. And that’s a fact! Heard he still does.
I had a 2004 just like this. Same color with spoked wheels. My biggest mistake was ever letting this go. Thanks for the POV video. Some great memories from that view
I have a 05 wide glide injected with a stage 2 kit, best bike I have ever owned. It’s arctic white, really beautiful bike too.
I too believe that the Dyna will return.
Faith....
Had '82 fxs vance& hines, s&s, sweet bike... til got injured... not on bike... sold her. Learned to walk again... gained strength & confidence... raised 5 kids. Just bought, 30 days ago, an fxbb. Jury is still out on M8 but, FREEEDOM! Oh, yeah, man... freedom. That's what it's all about.
God bless. Love you brother. Ride on!
A dyna is my absolute dream bike. I have a Vulcan that barely works that is my only vehicle. But God willing one day I will have a dyna
Allen Baker haaa yea and u can spend twice as much getting it fixed wen it too breaks down on you.
The Vulcan is pretty sweet. So is the Dyna.
Steven Evans yeah ok what broke, or should I say what did you break. No bike can protect it self from a bad rider.
sounds legit...
Keep saving.Had my 98 FXDWG for 14 years .Beaut Bike . ( in fact at my age my last ever bike )
Got a 2009 Dyna here, agree 100% on what you say... greetings from Brasil
Allegedly the M8 won’t fit in the current Dyna frame. I won’t be selling my Low Rider S for any new version IF it ever appears
It has
Jesus will be riding a white horse soon!
oh yeah real soon
That is not a 2005. It is at least an '06 with the 49 mm forks and the battery cover being the visual cues. Keep up the good work and keep sharing the good news about Jesus Christ! God bless!
Also, The wheels are 2006 and above (There is a possibility that they added these parts to a 2005 Bike... That tank looks like my 2005 Tank however)
You can’t beat a dyna
I have a 96 FXD and I love it! Take the toy away and bring the demand back. I could totally see Harley-Davidson using that marketing ploy.
Dyna . Real harley .
Jesus rode a Dyna!!!
Ahhh....but Satan's Evo hasn't the cam issues!
Actually Jesus rides a Ducati, but keeps a dyna in the garage
Jesus rode a donkey
Jesus will be riding a white horse soon!
Rich31977 I’m putting up a video today Why You Want a Dyna
Man, I just found this channel and I love it! Keep on shining that light from 2 wheels, Brother!
Alpha Motor
Love my 99 Dyna superglide!! Changed bars n intake n it rocks !!! Wouldn’t sell it ! Love the handling, love the sound
Raw is right
Just got off of my ‘03 SuperGlide . I am 75 years old now and I need to admit I don’t ride as much as I used to , especially when I was commuting 100 miles ( round trip ) a day on it . Only have 87,000 miles on it ( no problems ) figured by now I would have over 100,000 but I don’t . Started riding Harleys after going into a prison with my 650 savage (Suzuki big single thumper ) which I really liked , but the inmates were really disappointed, they wanted to see Harleys. I thought about it and if I wanted them to listen to the Gospel Message maybe I should ride in on the kind of bike that they liked. Turned out Big Twins were OK , still riding them many years later . The Super Glide has the same raw feel as my big single has , like you are still riding a serious primitive M/C , and not some smoothed out Cadillac. No offense to those that like that , but I don’t. Like the wind in my face and a little vibration. Even usually have the windshield on my Jeep folded down.
I thought the b stands for balanced motor which means it has counter balancers to smooth out the motor, so kind of the opposite of what you said. Depending how unbalanced the crankshaft is, it could tear apart a motor, every motor should have a balanced crankshaft.
Yeah he got a little lost on his Tech right there. The B engine like you said has two rotating counter balancers run off a chain. The whole thing smells of a long stop on the side of the road somewhere.
Thanks I like my TC 88 as it was made with the Timken bearings. Why HD went backwards is just more money for someone. The B engines are fine up to about 6200 RPM then it does the reverse and stove pipes the engine.
You have worthy wisdom.
It does.
08 DXDWG Dyna Wide Glide. Accept No Substitute.
OH AND BTW, the B engine is balanced at the crank. All the posers ride softtails. Real riders KNOW that the Dyna is the BEST handling HD ever. Baggers R4 grampa.
FXR: am i a joke to you?
I mean Deuce, Softail Standard/Custom. They have B motors and handle pretty damn good. They arent baggers either lol. I ride a Deuce. Have owned 97 FXST also. Every bit as good as a wide glide. They also have the B motor in TC years. So they run pretty smooth.
03 wide glide here in Maine. Dynas are the best.
I miss the bikes with 103, 96, 88 and 110, new Milwaukee's just aren't the same. They go for sure but justvdontvhave the feeling. I had to get a dyna wide glide cause I'm tall. All baggers are so confined and small, cantvstretch
Jason Gartner would it be too small for me?... I'm 6'2
Jacob Mcgann I am 6 2" and the wide is perfect. That stretched front is awesome for tall guys
Jason Gartner love my 97 wide glide 👍
Brad Boisvert 01 here and love it.its my 4th dyna.love em at speed they're perfectly smooth the way they were meant to be.
Terry Poff 👍exactly
That's the bars on my wide glide......hate the looks, constantly think about changing them......then I go for ride
I don't care if Harley dropped Dyna...... I got mine
I have a bike with mono-shock, bags, windshield........... that's not what the DWG is for
Its my understanding the "b" motor has the counter balancer. I had an 05 softtail with the b motor.
And now i ride an 04 electra glide"a" motor which has no counter balancer and yes it vibrates a bit more. Not as fast as the soft tail either. Both 88 tc.both belt drive. The softail had 2 stage upgrade but the e.glide is stock.
I have a 94 FXDL (bought new) with over 100k of beating the crap out of it. Still runs. I'll go anywhere on that bike the bagger guys will go, I don't have a windshield. I just got a 2022 FXBBS. Great bike, runs like a runaway freight train.
Handles better than my old lowrider, but the lowrider has a mo comfy ride.
The Dyna Family of motorcycles was the best design that Harley every built, IMHO. Compact, reasonably priced, an entire world of accessories available from Harley not to mention the Aftermarket. Cannot go wrong with a Dyna. By the way, "A" motor is unbalanced. "B" motor is balanced for the Softtail.
I think they discontinued the dyna just because they wanted to consolidate platforms and have only 2-3, the main one for cruisers being softail. It's kind of a mistake because now Indian offers the Chief, which is like a mid-size, dual shock, dyna type bike which is fast and handles well. I guess HD now has the Nighsters/Revmax for this? Not the same....the air cooled boyz don't want it!
I'd love to have a Dyna, but there are no stock ones left. Everyone I've seen has someone else's crappy mods and their shoddy work.
6 yrs later still no Dyna return. I think you were wrong. Lol
I’ve got 4 of them 95 low rider 95 wide glide 2001 super glide sport 2003 100th anniversary super glide T sport in metallic blue
They keep asking me at my local shop if I want to trade my dyna in. There's no way I'm letting it go. I could see picking up a special edition if they did do that. My favorite line.
I'm picking up my first DYNA. 2005 /53k, bobber w/apes, bags, other custom deets. Supposed to test ride tomorrow but snow expected.
I have a 2004 Dyna superglide FXDI and it runs and looks great. , lots of internal upgrades and suspension upgrades , will keep til it kills me or i die then someone else can enjoy it
I got a lead on a 2006 35th anniversary Dyna. Should I jump on it or pass?? I prefer a diff color scheme than the white, blu, red., really want it in BLK. Strip it down, throw a few coats of hi gloss blk., now that would make it .......... I think. Still trying to decide. I have till Wed., 9/8/21. If I pass, will I be kicking myself? I'll let U know 2morrow. The H.D. dealer will get it if I don't. Gives me 7 hrs. to make up my mind. OH, but I'll have to upgrade the bars, seat, shocks. Is 2 grand too much?
Those handlebar grips are just wrong.
in so many ways...
I HATE wearing gloves. HATE IT.
I hate wesring a jacket to be honest. All the armour makes me feel like ive less control as i cant move as well. Trade off...
The first dealer i went to to buy my Z900 lost the sale coz i rolled in on my xvs1300a in a teeshirt n he would let me ride his demo. I said righto 'who died and made you my mother???' It was 40+ in the shade (real degrees not that fahrenheit bs) ida died from heatstroke wearing a jacket in all that stop start traffic. My head was cooking as it was in my helmet. Safety sometimes isnt about the obvious play...sometimes its about airflow...
But yeah i HATE wearing gloves. Well the normal biking gloves anyway. No feel. I wear my soft kid leather driving gloves sometimes. Theyre ok. Can feel wahts going on. But gauntlets make my hands feel like big dumb blocks with zero sensitivity.
I know i know. Feel free to rip in.
The new "dynas" look like shit. All the new Harley's are without soul. Cookie cutter. The Kawasaki z900rs has more soul than all of the new Harleys combined
I can't take religious people seriously sometimes because of how many things you need to be willfully ignorant of to maintain the beliefs, when he said "2000 years ago in Jesus' time ridin' motorcycles" I thought he might actually believe that was a thing... I think it was just self aware humor though. I hope so anyways.
Bought my 2007 wg after my father in law passed away I had to have his bike ,even sold my 2012 fatboy to get it🙂
I have an 05 superglide. Very nice bike. Every one thinks bigger is better. 1450 is plenty enough power for me. Even with my woman on the back it has all the balls that I need. If I buy a bigger harley instead of the considered entry level big twin? it's going to be for putting along. Not riding fast.
The engine, gearbox and primary are all bolted together, the gearbox has a lug at the rear where the swingarm mounts and just below that as well as up front is a rubber block that holds the whole lot in the frame so the whole engine assembly rocks to and fro but it also goes sideways so there’s a pissy little thing called a stabiliser up top to supposedly stop that happening which it doesn’t completely do as it had neoprene inside the part where it bolts on, now bolt the rear wheel in and you have a rubber mounted rear wheel: to see what this does just grab the fender strut in one hand and the wheel in the other and force the wheel sideways while looking along the line of the frame and engine and see how much it moves, it’s downright dangerous: the only reason most people don’t notice the tram lining and rear steer is they’re obvious to any feedback plus they don’t ride hard enough for it to be an issue, it’s why Sputhe made a gadget to help stop it: the pre 2009 rubber mounted FLH’s have a different system but still rear steer, the only way to fix it is to triangulate the mounts which they did on the post 2009 tourers (the one’s with the rear pipe going under the bike) Norton Commando’s rubber mount isolastics are a little better but you can still feel the rear wheel moving, a novice rider will likely shrug it off... FXR’s have the same cleveblock system as the early rubberglides yet people call them the best handling Harley ever made and the exact same system on the FLH’s have been deemed dangerous, even Harley states a maximum speed limit on them: big problem is all the other frames flex so much that the rubber one’s seem taught in comparison.
I rode an FXLR and my buddy rode a dyna both low riders they were fun to ride fast but when I had to ride his bike it wasn’t even close to the FXLR the FXR platform was definitely better. It’s sad to see it gone
I never liked the name " dyna" it's a super glide the best name they had going and the best deal get a black Super glide for not too much and fix it up like you want.i would never buy one called a dyna, yuck , you're gonna call a super glide a dyna, why, bring it back as a super glide which is what it is and you'll sell more than you can make.
FXR started this trend. FXR is the best handling harley davidson ever made. Cost to much to build. Then the dyna replaced FXR. Now they have to get the young people to get into it.
Dynas are the best handling of the intermediate. Out here where I live all you see are fat guys with their old ladies on baggers on the week ends. And they ride 10-50 riders in groups. Or the crazy crotch rocket riders,which are few. I love theDyna because it fits my body. Don't ride it if it doesn't fit. I wish that Dynas were taller and had fatter wheels&tires front&back. Victory is nice to look at but the scrape easily is corners.
Anyone saying HD made a mistake dropping the Dyna line is nuts. Long runs of their lines mean that their new bikes compete against used bikes. They've got to have some bread and butter lines, but cancellation is what makes them desired. You wouldn't be thinking of Dyna right now if you could buy it off a showroom floor.
With so many models, HD has a great opportunity to rotate lineups. I think they need to start capitalizing on that to give consumers a sense of urgency. With all the new bikes they have planned, I think you're going to see a lot of limited runs lasting a year or two on legacy models.
I was "that guy" in 1973 when I bought my first Harley Davidson Super Glide FX.
Love my 2011 Dyna Super Glide and will probably always keep it even if I do buy a touring bike
I have bought and sold many bikes, but I will never ever sell my Dyna 103 twin cam. It is a time capsule to the apex analog era for Harley.
2010 Dyna Street Bob FXDB - owned 8 years, starts everytime, never loses a drop of oil, fast enough :)
The only thing I don’t like on my 2004 FXDL is the brakes, they need dual brakes on the front, other than that its like riding old school.
People saying they had to sell their dynas because of health reasons or wife made them get rid of it. Man if I can't ride mine anymore it's going in my living room.
Twin cam B motor means the crank is balanced, whereby the motor does not need to be rubber mounted. Unlike all the touring motors, which are rubber mounted and not balanced as such. Therefore, the B-motor is actually smoother and hard mounted.
I like your vids and I don't have a problem with you I just want to add to your video saying I wouldn't ride a motorcycle if I couldn't ride a passenger on it and my main ride is a super glide.
I have a 95 fxdl took me 56 years to get it I had to raise 5 girls and I can say it was worth year it took to get Blue that's my bikes name by the way so thumbs up to Harley for the perfect ride for me maybe not everybody ,but sure is for me
Harley dropped the dyna just as they were blowing up again. Alot of the dirt bike guys and street bike stunt guys are switching over to dynas for wheelies and drifting. Bad timing to make the call to drop the line in my opinion
Dynas we’re cool, but incorporating the models into the Softail line was a smart move much better riding and better style now.
The B stands for balanced ,the dyna and every other rubber mounted bike has the unbalanced A motor in them
20 years ago the world made sense ! Now everything is just expensive Harley needs to go back to its roots!
Id rake those bars back toward you maybe 2-3 inches...imreckon itd be a LOT more comfortable.
You vrs car I'm backing the car. Really hoping that you don't try that out as a match up. Ride safe, ride far.
I have really long legs and every bike I sit on makes me feel like I'm eating my kneecaps. Is it true the wide glide might be the best bike for long legged riders? I know they shortened the newest wide glides but maybe the 93-08 would work? Any advice?
MotorCycling is a solo trip unless you got a Friend who wants to go for the ride. Then you best make a place for that friend to plant their HAM.
they probably dropped the Dyna line for a few years because they were made at the assembly plant here in Kansas City that closed down and relocated to York PA.
