Why are +06 Dynas so popular if they are so bad?

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.

Mine is. A 600+ pound bike should have dual disks period. My single fades so fast and even with a 4 piston performance machine caliper doesn't stop like the other bike. If a 400lb sportbike has duals with 6 piston calipers and 13 inch rotors, why shouldn't a 600lb bike have them?

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.
