Which Dyna?
I realize people post this kind of question all the time, so please bare with me. I'm an older novice rider wanting to get my first HD, I'm pretty sure I want a Dyna, but which one? I think I need one thats easy to handle at low speed....strickly for crusing, nothing longer than short day trips. I'm looking at 6-7 year old Low Riders and Super Glide Customs....opinions appreciated. Thanks

Hey Dolphin, welcome
What's your height and weight? To me all Dynas are easy to handle, so I would get the one that looks better to me. If you are taller than 6' you may want a bike with forward controls but that can be changed.
Handlebars is another factor that affect the handling. Try some low bars and some apes and decide for yourself which one is easier for you. A high rise handlebar with some drop will give you a more relaxed position for cruising.
All of these can be changed on any of the Dynas, find a good deal and then make changes as needed

The seat is the most important part of the bike... Without a comfortable seat which ever you choose, you won't be happy..
My personal opinion even though it looks cool! I stay away from the gun slinger seats...

I'm a little biased but the Super Glide Custom is probably the most versatile Harley ever built. It can do well at just about anything. Just get a GOOD seat and enjoy. Next choice would be the Low Rider at the expense of a little less handling and lean angle.

I would find one set up the closest to fit your liking. It might save you some money trying to get a bike to fit you. The Harley tax can get expensive.
Not a lot of difference between a low rider and a super glide anyway, other than console and tank badges. Everything else pretty much swaps out easily between the two.
Both great bikes IMO
