Default To Dyna from Sportster

Here's my new Wide Glide. It took much agonizing over letting go of my Sportster before I took the plunge. This is a new 2012 that had a nice markdown so I couldn't resist. I had an amazing first trip home on it. What a smooth ride. It is so much more compliant over bumps. Me and the stiff suspension on the Sporty just weren't getting along. Seat, pegs and the drag bar set up are perfect. The 103 pull really strong on the highway. Whaddya all think?

Congrats on the new ride! You will like it better than the Sporty. Now the mods start...

That's a good looking bike!

How tall are you and how did the seating "geometry" compare to the Sportster? The forward controls just look so far forward on the Dynas.

I know on my Wide Glide I had to install HD's reduce reach control kit on my forward controls. Moves them back about an inch I think. Much more comfortable if you have stump legs like me. I'm 5'7" with a 30" inseam
