Default Which Dyna????

I will be buying a 2008 Dyna in about a month and am planning on a lot of weeked rides, 100-400 miles. Which model would you recommend and what accessories would you also recommend. Thanks for the help.

FXDC new seat (if you need it, try the stock one first), rear turn signal relocation kit, saddle bags, and a quick detachable windshield. That should do you real nice on those longer trips...

Thanks. It looks like the Wide Glide for 2008 is only available in duracell colors. Does anyone know if it is available in "normal" colors?

I think any Dyna would fit that plan, which Dyna fits you? Usually based on your height, although you can modify to fit, which model comes closest to feeling great?

I thought you were crazy, and was about to tell you to go to HD's web site, but luckily I took a look first, before looking like a jack-*** (which for me, isn't very hard to do)! The way they make it look, you can only get it in the ann. colors. What the hell's up with that?! If that's the case, I guess they're only making 2,000 WG's in '08!!! Now that's some weird *** s**t!!!

First,I will answer the question. The one you like the best is the one you need to buy. Dont' let some one else make the decision for you. It will be your bike.

Second, I can't understand the moco doing away with the wide glide. My opinion, it is the best looking bike they make. I thought it was one of their best sellers so what's up with that?????????
