The FXDP is the Dyna Police Defender, it's a Super Glide that was designed for use as a police bike

All Dyna's are FXD's, as stated P=Police

(Hold off on my ALL, not sure if they are still all FXD's, have not been keeping up on the new bikes. But when they started all FXD then followed up by another letter(s) for model designation. My bike is a FXDWG, WG = Wide Glide.)

Yeah, things changed when HD added the FLD Switchback to the line-up, but then changed back when dropped it

Also it looks like they are now (2013-later?) using the "P" with no association to police...FXDBP

You are correct. I have the FXDBP. It's a street bob, but was told by the sales rep that sold me my bike that the "P" is HD's designation for their "special" or "custom"??? It came with mags, a 2 up seat, passenger pegs, and the Superior Blue color was a "special order" color for the Street Bob's in '15. I don't know how true this is, but like I said, it's just what the sales rep told me. I wouldn't mind finding out for my own good though.
