I recently moved from a 2007 Street Glide to a 2009 Dyna Low Rider with only 370 miles. That's right, 370 miles. A friend is a dealer sales manager. He bought the bike from a guy who bought it new and never found time to ride.

All I can say is wow! Compared to my Street Glide the Low Rider is over 100 pounds lighter. It's much faster due to the power-to-weight ratio. The Low Rider also handles and corners better, stops in less distance and gets better MPG. I added a detachable windshield, passenger backrest and leather bags.

The only trade off is the Street Glide's stereo. On the other hand, I rarely used the stereo because my (Bluetooth) helmet speakers and cell phone sound much better.

I'm planning a couple week long trips this year in Canada. Compared to my Street Glide, the Low Rider will be a nice change, especially when the road gets twisty.

I'll post some pics soon.

 

Did something similar myself. 2007 Road King traded for 2011 FXDC. Love the versatility and just "fun" of riding the Super glide over the Road King. And actually, the SuperGlide is more comfortable for me on longer rides. Enjoy.

 

Good for you. The LowRider is a nimble, easy handling bike that's lots of fun. Had several of them and still love them. Never put a windshield on one, but I would suggest if you are going 2 up, make a few medium runs before you do a long trip. I definitely can feel the difference at the end of a long day. That's just me. ENJOY

 

Congrats! I want to do the opposite and go from a dyna to a street glide but don't want a payment.

 

Congrats, enjoy!
I recently moved from an 03 Electra Glide to a new FXDB and am loving it.
Now let's see those pics.

 

Last July I went from a 2013 Road Glide (which I loved) to a 2014 Super Glide Custom with the 103 mill. My bum hip was causing all sorts of problems due to the weight of the Glide.
Haven't looked back for a second as the FXDC is a lot quicker and much more manageable. I'm really enjoying this bike. Don't miss the stereo system but do wish the Dyna had cruise.

 

Congratulations.

Enjoy both of my Low Riders thought my '03 is awaiting repair.

Have any pics?

Sorry, your last sentence flew right over my head.

 

Here'a pic of my 2009 Low Rider.

 

Nice choice of color.

Dyna's are great!

I'll be looking for you out on the road this summer, what part of the corn do you live in?

 

I really love the tach on the low rider tank too, I almost bought one just like that with the sunglow red when I bought my wide glide, I bet it looks good in sunlight.


310 miles is crazy, it blows my mind hardly no one uses their bike to commute, I think I'm the only one in MD, I use mine to commute everyday I can, it's the whole justification for buying it.


I don't think it's gets any better than a dyna, the bikes have it all, power, looks & comfort.
