Default 08 dyna line

So what is the word on the 08 Dyna's? I recently have had my train stolen and I am trying to decide on a street bob or another train assuming that my bike is not found. I was wondering what all was speculated for the 08 line up.

I hear the WideGlide is not in the 2008 line up?? Wouldnt have thought that was true, but one of our dealers told a friend of mine that was happening.
Get the Dyna.

When i picked up my bob in new orleans the dealer told me they were not going to make the wide glide anymore. That really sucks.

This is what I hear:

Completely redesigned muffler bearings.
Forged condubilator shafts
Fratistators will now be standard in all '08's
---------------------------------------------

Not Dyna related but interesting nontheless:

And a new "Hunka Hunka Burnin' Love" Elvis Softail

Just to clarify...

The muffler bearings have indeed changed, but it's not actually a complete redesign. More like a refinement.

Also...fratistators will be standard, but the base price is adjusted accordingly.

I can't believe all this misinformation being spread about. The muffler bearings are indeed completely redesigned. They are self-lubricating this year as are the frame gears - which I'm surprised no one has mentioned yet. Let's keep the facts straight, gents.

you guys both have it wrong... they completely removed the bearings in place of a ridgid solution... its supposed to give the bike an overall better ride (no more Dyna wobble!!)
