My '14 Low Rider.....let me show it to you.
Had it for a couple weeks now. This bike is very comfortable and easy to adjust to fit with the adjustable risers and "booster seat". I am 5'8" and do not use the seat pad. I wanted a bit more bend in my elbows so in 2 minutes I loosened up the risers and bars, rotated risers back a few degrees, put bars back where they were, tightened things up.....BAM....done and super comfortable.
I love 2-1 pipes. I did swap out the OEM muffler with the SE Nightstick for a but more rumble. Once it breaks in it will be just what I am wanting sound wise. I do have a LA Choppers adjustable end cap on the way.
Brakes are more then adequate for the bike. Even has steel braided lines. The mid controls (another must for me) moved a couple inches forward from normal still give you great control but a bit more room.
Now get this......the suspension actually WORKS on the bike as delivered from the factory. Small stuff you barely feel and bigger hits are absorbed and don't unsettle the bike. Wind flow is very well managed, too.
I am coming from owning XL's, one XR, a VRSCR and a few metrics thrown in there in the past and this is by far the most comfortable but still nimble enough to change direction quickly and confidently. I enjoy the longer wheelbase and the fact that I sit "in" the bike instead of "on top" of the bike as you do on XL's. Lean angle is good as well with the mid controls.
I also swapped out the grips. For some reason the OEM units are a bit small in diameter compared to other H-D's.

I read a review on them somewhere the other day where the author noted that it was a favorite Harley among the staff...but they usually like the poorest selling Harleys. I can relate. Functional, standard style motorcycles is not something the MoCo goes out of their way to market. I sure hope this one bucks the trend.

Congrats on your new ride!... really nice!... and the only 06 newer Dyna that I think H-D has nailed, really! I put 80 miles on one just recently and loved everything looks wise, the sound of the muffler as it comes from the factory also. I would only change the seat is all, same style but without that stupid seatback hole. I predict this bike will become a instant classic and a few years down the line (not many) people will be scrambling for parts to turn them back mostly stock

It is just a slip-on. Head pipes and collectors are OEM. I do have an adjustable end cap on the way to play with.
