I like em both. I think the custom has more chrome and a tank mounted speedo, gives it the big bike dash look i guess...

Good idea, I just went on HDs site and entered the VIN. It came back as a 1995 Dyna Super Glide Convertible (FXDS CONV).

Looking at some of the bikes posted I sometimes forget how good a stock FXDC looks.

My '09 FXDC, as I purchased it in March of '12. 96" Stage 1.


Version 2. 103" with Wood 555 cams, custom paint, 21" front wheel.





Version 3. 4" over front end, 117" with S&S 585 cams, new paint.


And Version 4. 8" over front end, chopped and raked, custom rear fender, Switchback rear wheel, etc, etc.

Get the one that makes you feel badder than Fonzie, cooler than Kelsey Grammer, more evil than Darth Vader but understanding like Luke. Then you know you got the right one.

Was thinking about this mini fairing from Memphis Shades. Anybody have one? Like it? Does it really help, or is it just for looks?

I never tried one but it doesn't look like it would deflect much wind. Looks cool though...
