dyna low rider vs dyna super glide
Hey all. I am getting closer to purchasing my first harley.So far the dyna low rider is by far my choice at this point. However, I was comparing the specs on thedyna superglide vs low rider and did not see much of a difference. Although the price difference is over 3k. Canyou please explainwhat the differences arewith the bikes. Anything would be appreciated.
thanks
thanks

RE: dyna low rider vs dyna super glide
Superglide:
Silver motor, and driveline
less chrome
speedomter is mounted in the handlebars
no tachometer
sits higher off the ground
28 degrees of rake in the frame, versus 31 degrees
But...for 200 bucks you can put Progressive 412 Heavy Duty shocks on the back and lower it LOWER than the Lowrider if you choose! Lowriders have 11.6 inch shocks in the rear. You can get the progressives in 11.6...or, 11 inch, like I have, but I only ride solo! Then lower the front end, or rake the front end with some raked triple trees!
It really comes down to the Black and chrome motor versus the silver.

RE: dyna low rider vs dyna super glide
The Low Rider is a great bike, but I chose the Superglide because I knew that I wanted something a lil different than everyone else's Dyna. So the Superglide was the perfect platform for me. I probably have as much or more $$$ into my Superglide as what a Lowrider would have cost me, but noone else has a Dyna exactly like mine.

and got a good deal. The height of the seat is perfect for me, but I think I may lower about an inch (not sure)

Joe,
I have a question; I'm in the same situation: A SG Custom or a Lowrider. I like the black motor of the lowrider, but I'm hearing that the ride is a lot stiffer than the SG Custom. Can you go the other direction with a Lowrider and put SG Custom length shocks on the rear to give more travel and a softer ride??
Thanks!

RE: dyna low rider vs dyna super glide
All 2006 and up Dyna's have a 29 deg. rake except the Wide Glide which has a 34 deg. rake. You should go into the HD website and select the "compare motorcycles" option. It gives you a side by side spec by spec comparison of up to three motorcycles at a time, including factory options.

RE: dyna low rider vs dyna super glide
I went through the same thing last March, Ended up buying the 06 Low Rider in Green dragonfly pearl and love it. I have put over 14000 miles since then, with the forward controls it really fits me great. Either bike will be fantastic and I hope that you love whichever you choose as much as I love mine...
