Defender
#2
I had a defender, Think it was an 02 or 03 I can't remember. It was amazing, wish I would have never sold it. Id love to pick up another one if I get the chance. The FXDPs came with a different cam than the standard TC88s, not sure which one though. It was faster than my buddies 96 Sbob and he hated it. It rode great, the 2 over forks and tall OEM shocks rode great as well. Also, for whatever reason it was so stable at high speeds, no rear wobble or anything.
Mine unfortunately didn't come with the police goodies, bags, floorboards, radio box, etc. But it still have the police switches and dash. Heres what It came out to look like when I bought it and what I did to it before I sold it.

Was torn between the fxdxt & the fxdp as both popped up when I was looking around. There were slight but significant differences, the best was IMO was the police had the key in the dash, not the stupid place of regular Dynas & they also got the high output alternator. They had run flats but were to be solo only & the solo was air on some I've seen.
They really weren't bought by departments here so they didn't have that cop bike stigma. What pushed me towards the fxdxt was I prefer mids over floor boards( not a deal breaker as it's an easy swap), didn't like the bags(wasnt feeling the fxdxt bags(bags should be leather except on a dresser) until I used them & quickly appreciated the expandableness), but what I didn't like was the frame/crashbar mounted headlight & tombstone shield. Another easy swap as well, but I went with the one that I didn't need to change to suit my taste.
Funny how the pieces I usually don't appreciate turn out to be the most sought after. The moral of this story is don't go by me, I don't know what I'm doing.
