You can build anything you want from a late model Dyna. This one works very well for what I use it for. The 2006+ chassis is a solid builder and I prefer it to the earlier models because it accepts big sporting tires without issue and the forks are flex free. It took a chunk of money and time to optimize it, but for me it was worth it. By the end of next week it will have new 18 inch RSD Morris wheels with some fairly sporting rubber on them, the new total weight will be about 610 lbs with half a tank, about 45 lbs lighter than stock, about 20 pounds more than a new Sportster Custom.
These are the last photos of it's current configuration...

Buying new always avoids most of those mystery gremlin noises and unknown issues. That's why I get new everytime. I'm not a mechanic by trade.

 

I never said a single is better. Read my post again.

 

Really? I haven't been able to fade mine, despite trying pretty hard. Five "threshold braking" stops in a row from 80 mph using only the front brake (front tire was chirping and howling a bit), and braking was still fine. So I gave up at that point, not seeing any point in going beyond that for a street-driven bike, and thinking I might as well save wear and tear on the tire.

 

All I can guarantee is that when an Elk ran out in front of me the front on my Dyna single disc had no problem locking up. Had to release pressure to let er roll a bit. And return to the house for something.

 

That will teach you to take an extra pair every time you head out

Lol, when I think about how much $, time, & effort I've invested in brakes...it's a little embarrassing...

 

 

I do.

If my garage caught fire I'd tip every Harley in the place over to get my 02 Dyna out. There is an elemental feel to that bike that I can't get enough of.
