I had a 19" MS Fats, and it was right at my vision line or just below it.
Well Greatnews after some adjustment lowering it a little bit tilting it back don't need cutting took the trip to the Everglades with it unbelievable I've never ridden a motorcycle with a faring or Winshield. didn't have to hold on for dear life at 70 and 80 miles an hour took it up to 100 works great I see a bat wing in my future .

Sad day. We got our first snow so the bike is going to sleep for the winter.

Took off the old exhaust in preparation for some new RR3. Cobras will be in the classifieds shortly.

I agree. Traded off my FXDC for an Ultra, way too heavy.

Traded it for a Switchback, lighter but not near as much fun as the DC.

Would rather have my original Dyna back too, but mine isn't for sale. the New owner loves it.

If you want it, go get it, as it's only money. tp dd50

Don't get me wrong, I freaking love my Road Glide! There's just times when the Dyna would be more fun. I still have an old Vulcan 750 but I feel very cramped and the seat sucks for more than 50 miles. My Dyna was set up to give me all day comfort and did many times!

In total agreement with more fun on Dyna. I am changing suspension on my 03 WG to do long trips again. I like my 16 RGU and it is great eating up miles to ride destinations; but I know the Sisters and Winding Stairs would of been more exciting on the WG.

Been there, done that. Rode the Sisters on an '08 RG, chasing a friend on an R1150RT. No way...scraped the board bottoms all to pieces. The DC would have been much more fun, but hadn't owned it yet... tp dd50

Shocks and slip ons
Installed rear shocks, put stock seat back on, new slip ons, further forward mids, DK tank lift and started to relocate turn signals from bars to forks.
Next is getting a new seat, bars, tossing on a Mikuni carb, hydraulic cam chain upgrade and cams, and ignition module. Would like to have all this done over winter but we’ll see.
the exhaust sounds so much better than the SE2’s that were on it.
found some NOS D&D slip ons at a great price so I had to check em out! Glad I did
