Default Ride difference between Dyna Glide Custom and Wide Glide

I am in the market for a another bike and considering three or four models two of which are dyna's. One is an `07 dyna glide custom and the other an `01 wide glide. Is there much of a difference in the ride between the two--especially when riding 2-up?

I have an 02 Wide Glide, pulls great with 2 up and I prefer the stretched out wheelbase. Wide Glides handle a bit different because of the stretch but once you're used to the feel there's no other choice for me. Be safe, live it up til the money's all gone...

I cant speak for the custom, but the wide glide is a perfect 2 up bike. Very roomy

I agree. the WG handles a bit different, but rides well two up.

Both great bikes, but get the Wide Glide, you won't be sorry.

You'll notice a difference in the manueverability of the dynaglide over the wideglide, so it depends on what you want out of your ride. Plus the 07 has a 96" motor compared to the 01 with the 88". You can get good power out of the 88" (I got 79hp/84tq on my 03' w/ just stage 1). Personally I would choose the wideglide, but that's my preference.
