Default My first Dyna

Hello,

So I just bought my first Dyna.
Owned a Sportster and a Softail before and currently have a Road Glide so I needed another bike for the city etc.
Found a 2007 Super Glide and got a good deal so I thought why not.

Now having the fall and winter to figure out what mods to do and thats fun to.
Here some photos of its current state.

Good looking bike. I did the same thing. I have a 20 RG Limited that is great to travel on, but kind of a bear around town. I found a low mile 09 FXD really cheap and have been enjoying the hell out of it. I put on some really aggressive dirt style tires (Michelin Anakee) so I don't have to turn around when the pavement ends like the RG. The previous owner put on forward controls so I went back to mids and just cleaned the thing up(it had been under a tarp in the back yard). This is not my first Dyna but I had forgotten how well they handle. Have fun with yours. Lotta bang for the buck.

Default Love My DYNA FXDS

My Dyna is all I need. I don’t need any frills like cruise control, stereo, and other things that are great for touring. I love the old school type rides I did all my life. I love to ride and enjoy the freedom. I feel every bump, smell every dead animal, and hear the rumble of that motor in the wind. It’s a great bike to do the basics ! Enjoy.

Agree mids all the way for me, I will look into the Ankee tires since I ride most of the year

I think we can do allright with what we got but I have to say. I got my Road Glide in June and then I went om a trip down in Europe, 10 000 km 6000 miles, 10 countries and I must say, its quite impressive. The stock chassis is realy quite good to especially considering the weight of the bike and I think the more or less sport bike wheels helps to.

I also spent quit alot of time on Autobahn through Germany where there is no speed limits going around 160 km/h 100 miles/per hour and the same through Poland , Slovakia and northern Italy because no police cares and the roads are amazing with long sweeping corners. Then the wind shield and fairing is a must but sure at more normal speeds not that necessary. When I got home, I got the Klock Werks 14" sport Flare and its perfect for my height and with the handebars I also replaced for better control.

Yeah , I will use tha Dyna as my daily rider and for active riding and fun! I expect it to be abit more engaging then the softail
