Default Dyna Frame

Howdy y’all. I was looking at custom dyna frames the other day and one of the questions was a double bend backbone, single bend, or straight. What exactly is a double bend vs single bend backbone and what does the dyna have? Tried the search and found nothing so thanks in advance

Backbone generally refers to the top tube, which runs under the gas tank, from the seat to the head tube. On a Dyna its straight and square. I'm not sure what a double or single bend backbone would look like. What frame manufacturer are you looking at?
