I think some of them have a different rake on the front end. I am not sure But I think this causes the neck to be a bit different

I was thinking of twin cams 1984-2016. but if there is a difference in EVO frame motorcycles of different models in the DYNA,, then I would like to hear that also..

Dyna Evo frames have different rakes. Super Glide had 28 degrees, Low Rider and Wide Glide had 31 degrees, besides that they are the same. Not familiar with Twin Cam Dyna frames, but pretty sure for awhile there the same holds.

I would guess 28 degrees would be for quick steer... and 31 degrees would want to drive itself down the road easyier. I also would guess maybe not to much notice in driving though. I will have to see if I can see the difference by just looking..

You can see it for sure. Look at pics of a Low Rider VS a Super Glide of the same vintage, very obvious.
