I got hold of a 2011 FXDC Super Glide that has the swing arm mount broken on the rear of the transmission. Can anyone tell me what years will interchange with this bike? The guy at the local HD parts counter told me they had some changes in the later years in the length of the transmission case swing arm mount but couldn't tell me exactly what years without going into a lot of research.
I thought that all six speed Dynas would have the same case/transmission but he said that is not necessarily so. It would be nice to know what would interchange instead of guessing. I am a Journeyman Machinist and Certified Welder and although I have machine shop equipment, I no longer have a TIG machine to weld it.
Without having 100% penetration I would be afraid of it. I am well familiar with problems associated with a loose swing arm.
I appreciate any information,

 

Hi Ed, the stock casing is black and has part number #34841-08, which shows us it was introduced in 2008. The silver version is #34746-08, so it looks as if from 08 is safe!

 

Thanks Graham,

The parts guy at the HD store bought had me leery of buying a used case or transmission. I still would be tempted to repair mine but, though it would save money, that would be a project to try if I didn't need one very much. I have seen some on the net that people have attempted to repair that I would not waste time to give a second look.
Part of my inquisition was wondering if they were interchangeable with Touring bikes or if it was limited to Dynas.
I have thought about taking another trip to the UK, If I ever do perhaps I might look your up.

Ride Safely,

 

Ed, the touring trans casing is quite different, apparently having a larger engine oil pan underneath. I've been looking at this on-line parts finder, where you can look these things up. Seems the Dynas do have their own distinct trans casing.

 

Please get in touch! If you have the choice around the month of May is best, for weather and scenery.
