    Hi Matt,
    My first Harley was a used 1979 AMF Superglide, it was funny how every now and then the carburetor would cough. I traded it for a 1984 FLHP. I loved that bike, wish I still had it, that carburetor never coughed. Eventually sold that bike in the late 1990's and purchased my current bike brand new which is a 2007 FXDC Superglide Custom Cobalt Blue. I then turned that bike into a Switchback by purchasing a complete front end, front and rear fenders, saddlebags, and a softail laced front wheel, all on eBay from different bikes. I added an FLH solo saddle seat like my 84 FLHP had, and used a bicycle shock to imitate the pogo stick. It took some trial and error to find the correct spring to support my weight without bottoming out, and giving me a little bounce. The last thing I'm going to do is add a Flash Gordon single muffler on the tow into one Switchback header. It will look old school when I'm done.
    John from NY State.

    My very first Harley I bought brand new was 2002 FXDL. In 2008 I rebuilt the top end and cam chest to 95ci all gear S&S. She sits in my driveway today next to my 2021 FLHRSX. I ❤ Dynas 🤘🏽

    Hey Matt: Thanks for the video. I've owned about 4 Dynas, but my all time favorite bike was my first Harley. It was a 1982 FXR which I bought new in 1982. It was a five speed, rubber mounted 80 inch Shovelhead. I loved it. Kept that bike about ten years. Dynas after that, but none of them were as good as the FXR! Wouldn't you know it, riding a "Geezer Glide" now. 2011 Road Glide Ultra.

    I get it, the switchback is a bit left field as far as Dyna’s go but I’m genuinely surprised how harshly you reviewed it! I absolutely love mine. Perfect balance of classic HD looks with the Dyna nimble frame. Love the saddle bags too!

    • @readtheinstructions1407

      I liked the concept of the Switchback so much that I turned my 07 FXDC into one.

      I’m not surprised at all. It’s a nice bike and in between a bar hopper/short cruise bike and a long ride tourer. The problem is the “Harley guys” are pretty gay lol. Their so stuck in some macho bro culture bs that they come off as cheesy pussies and I don’t know any real bikers that like any of the d-bags rocking Harley t-shirts and going to the dealership to hang out.

I put an Advanblack ST Style Fairing on my switch back and love it. Was considering there Batwing but decided I didn't want to look like all the other touring out there.

    I have a 2016 Dyna Switchback and absolutely love it. I've never had the saddlebag lids "fly open" while riding, and with some subtle changes (new bars, windshield, front fender, suspension, etc.) it's become a real joy to ride. It's small enough to ride around town but big enough for some weekenders or even longer trips, and it really looks the part now.

    FXDXT#1. People bought/buy a FXDLS and add a T-Sport fairing, Leather Pros T-Sport saddlebags, switch to dual gauges up top and throw on higher rear shocks. The value is still there after 20+ years. A clean OG T-Sport can even garner the same price of a Lowrider S these days. Nonetheless, another great video.

    Matt, thanks for such a great video. I had a '14 Dyna Low Rider and I loved, LOVED that bike. About 6 months ago I had a deer strike, and it was totaled at 42K miles. I'm a little embarrassed to say this, but I literally cried. I replaced it with a Fat Boy 114, which is an amazing bike in its own right, but I think I will always look back on the Dyna as my favorite.

    Matt, another classic video. Your command of the history of the Motor Company is amazing and so well presented. As for me, my 2007 FXDSE is a classic, but then again I replaced the stock shocks with WP, the grips and foot pegs, added a passenger back rest to keep my lady from slipping off, since I had the heads ported and polished, installed a torque cam, added VH pipes and replaced the front brake with an oversized Brembo disk and caliper. Still the styling of the bike is awesome, especially the bars and gauge cluster.

    👍 Great job and loved your dads perspective on sales of FXRs and Dynas at the time.
    I knew the FXDLRS would be #1 at the start. As a daily So Cal rider since late 80s I was always a big litre sportbike rider. Then 16 the LRS came out and I was finally sold on a HD purchase. I also grabbed a 16 SG and both have been built as performance rippers. Still own insane sportbikes, but enjoy humbling crotchrocketeers in the twisties with my HD builds.

    The Dyna has always been the iconic HD in my mind, and I've always wanted one, bigger than a Sportster and smaller than a Tourer. Went to a showroom with the intent of buying a Dyna, Buddy of mine snatched the bike I was considering, went with a FLHP that was sitting beside it and I was hooked. Still absolutely love the dyna and will have one eventually, such an iconic style, but I love my Road King. Recently ordered a FLHTP 2025, but still looking for an affordable Dyna for a cruiser for the hell of it, because they are so iconic and still my dream bike from my childhood.

    HI,
    Overall Matt an excellent tribute as always to the DYNA, the only criticism is placing the STREET BOB at a lowly no:8
    I have owned my STREET BOB since 2012 and it is in pristine condition with somewhere around 1500 miles on the clock from new.
    They look superb, ride wonderfully and in my special factory paint job of BIG BLUE and black scallops hand painted on the tank is really a thing of beauty.
    Having had the engine uprated to 103 CUBIC, its spot on with power etc etc
    I have also owned a wide glide with orange flames and a first 2006 Dyna Street Bob with the 6 speed transmission.
    I would have placed it in the top 5 of best DYNAS, but like they say 'Beauty is in the eye of the beholder'
    Keep up the Good work.
    Best wishes from London, England

    As far as agreeing with your list ….. I did own 2017 FXDLS and loved it ( had to sell it 😢) !
    But if I buy a Dyna again, it would be a Fat Bob ….or an EVO WG 🤔

    I have a stock 97 Superglide just a S&S carb and forward controls. I love it. I ride it to TX from NYC couple times a year to see my kids. I only have 1 complaint that is the key location Can't tell how many time I forget to put the key in or take out. LOLOL

    Last year i purchased an imported FXD Dyna Wide Glide build in 2000. Till now it's been a moneypit. So much wrong with it. But I still ride it with pride.

    The Wide Glide is amazing for long freeway rides. So stable. The twin cam nut punchers, unbalanced, send you down the road with a smile. Run pretty rich. It cools the engine enough to make a difference on when the overall comes.

    I had two Dyna Convertables, why? Almost all my miles were two up and it shined in that context. But placing it at #9 is spot on. What made it a great "riding" motorcycle is what crushed sales. The Dyna SuperGlide was offered during a period when our dealership couldn't get enough "big twins" to satisfy demand, so the low cost, lower margin SuperGlide wasn't offered or sold. The Low Rider and Dyna WideGlide was what was most in demand at our store in the PNW. Let me be clear though. A lot of Dyna WideGlides were sold to folks who weren't willing to wait for the Softail model that they really wanted.

    I bought a Dyna FXD in August 1996. I rode that bike 26 years. I put a set of leather works slanted bags, used a Tee bag and a windshield for longer road trips. Went all over the mid and western USA on it. I regret selling that bike.

    @davidleatherwood6228 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    After nearly two years on my 2003 FXDWG and while I understand why they couldn't absorb all of the Dynas into the Softail line, I kind of feel like they could have benefitted by absorbing the Wide Glide somehow.

  • @TheShodown220
    @TheShodown220 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Thanks for the video, great history lesson. My own opinion I think pricing hurt a lot of switchback sales, priced so similar to a road king at the time why choose the baby when you could have the real thing for not much more money. But I never rode the switchback either so maybe it just wasn’t a great bike.
    I used to trade bikes every year or so until I bought my 14 FXDL new, over 10 years later it’s still in my garage.

    Love my 2007 Street Bob. Such a customizable bike and it runs like a clock, even after storing it for the long Buffalo winters. In the time I've had it the only thing left original on it is the frame and the 96 c.i. engine.

    First Harley was a new 1988 883, then got a 1995 FXDL evo in black.
    Now have a tc88 FXDL made 10/98 in blue/silver.
    It's a generation ahead of the evo.
    The rarest Harley is one that hasn't been the victim of the after market parts catalogue.
