Sent Pete an email (about an order) and told him the Dyna guys are feeling left out and he said this: "Hey that's crazy talk !! I'll never move away from Dynas. We have 6 in the shop alone at the moment and constantly working with guys on their builds in the states".

Trying to get a Sporty kit out and breakout. But nothing gets me going like the Dyna. The current (06 - ) FXD range are the best bikes HD have ever done.

We will always be Dyna first 😎👍

Yay! That's so good to hear!

 

I got all the wrinkle black drivetrain covers installed. I'm liking the look with the ARP bolts.



Also finally tore off the primary to get the sprocket fit up. Based on my research of people with slightly newer Dynas I gambled that a .750 offset front would work. Not even close. Even with the 3/4 on there it still measures 5/8 too short. That would hit the inner primary so I ordered the 1.060 offset from PBI. I'll have to make up the difference at the hub. Think I'm gonna have to offset the tire. Bummer. I wanted it centered in the swingarm. Will make new axle spacers, shorten the pulley adapter/spacer, and maybe modify the rear caliper bracket... No wonder I couldn't find anybody doing this to a '99. Oh well. Adapt and overcome.

 

Hmm? I was hoping this would work I would like to do wider tire on my 99 Lowrider. Keep us posted on how you get it to work. I have heard that some people are spacing out there primaries but that seem pretty labor intensive, i would think you would have to put on longer shafts for everything if you did that.

 

Also did you by those new wrinkle black cases or paint your old ones?

 

The covers are powder coated. Got them from a coater that sells on eBay. I kept my chrome ones. Never know when I may want to change back!

 

My chrome ones are flaking off in some spots so been thinking for a winter project to take them off and take a grinder to them and then paint them. Have heard the chrome is hard to get off though. Depends on how much it would cost i might get them powdercoated but got to get that chrome off first.

by the way those look good on your bike

 

As I understand it, the better powder coaters strip chrome prior to spraying. The local shop here does.

 

Well damn. I got the 1.060 sprocket in and I would still need to offset the tire at least 1/4" to make it work. PBI says the 1.06 is the widest that will fit under the 5 speed primary. I'd tend to agree. With some modification of the inner primary I think I could squeeze another .100 out of it but that would sacrifice quite a bit of strength of the mainshaft outer bearing carrier. Probably not a smart mod.

That leaves me with three options as I see it...

1) Offset the whole primary 1/4" and get the 1.125 sprocket.
2) Live with the tire offset and change the brake to make that work. Maybe a sprocket brake?
3) Go to a 180mm tire.

I need to do some more thinking...

 

I would think the sprocket/rotor would work running no fender or even a short rear fender, if your rear wheel isn't perfectly in the center if the swingarm, you think it would be a issue? that I don't know. I do have to say, im glad you bought the 1.06 sprocket so know I know lol
