Are Dyna frames the same for each model?

Does anyone know whether there is a difference in the frame from one Dyna model to another of the same year.
In other words, is the same frame used for a 2012 super glide and wide glide etc?

Wide glide uses it's own frame, more rake in the neck. Also, I believe the Fat bob has it's own frame with wider strut spacing.

I believe it's the same basic frame, but like you said, the rake and trail are different.

Same in the 2007 model year as well so it appears that their frame models have a pretty long shelf life.

Short answer is... no. They're different depending on year and model. You'll have to do lots of research to figure out exact differences.

Better, if you can, figure out which two bikes you'd like to know the differences in and research that. Are you interested in the differences in any two bikes?
