I was browsing the Corbin website and checked out their project dyna "dresser" with Big hard bags and a street glide style style fairing,makes me glad I bought a dyna.If I ever feel the need to have a geezerglide(I'm not making fun of anybody here) I can simply convert mysuperglide into a full touring bike.Once again, dyna's are the most versatile of all the Harleys.
I agree. I was thinking about picking up a windshield, bags and a two-up seat for long hauls. You can have what amounts to two different bikes with a couple hours work.
I have both a dyna Low Rider and a "geezerglide" (Road Kind Classic). Different bikes for different purposes. I rode the FXDL from Maryland to Sturgis 3 times (02-05) and one of those years went to Texas before coming home to Md. My settup was Dyna big bags and Corbin tourning seat and high sissy bar, so I know of which I speak. I've done the miles on a dyna. When I got my Road King I took all that sh...well you know off the dyna and it looks 100% better IMHO. Far as the good nature poking fun of the baggers...baggers are the new softtail and black is the new chrome. btw I just picked up a set of Arlen Ness wheels on E-bay from Dennis Kirk overstock new in box. Hope to have pics posted in a couple of weeks. Funny I still consider myself a dyna rider first despite the fact that the Road King gets most of my miles now a days.

I bought mine used with the 2 up seat and QD windshield. I added saddlebags. I made sure to leave them all quick detach. I can strip her down in around 15 minutes and be ready to roll (including checking tire air and oil). So it's not a chore if you're worried about that.
Honestly though, I never take any of it off any more. In fact I added a crash guard for more footing positions and (eventually) additional lighting mounts. Most of the time if someone rides with me they ask to put something in my bags, and I'm the only guy with a toolkit, air pump, bottled water, sunscreen, etc in the event anyone needs it.
Does it look as sleek as it once did? Hell no. However once you get used to having bags and a windshield, a backrest and the other fun stuff the practicality outweights the style if you actually put miles on it. Eventually I'll get a road glide too and strip the DWG down for commuting on good weather days and short hops.
Visited there sight today and i will be all over that fender if they make it to fit 2008 models. waiting for a reply at the moment. http://www.corbin.com/harley/xl/flff.shtml
I agree that the Dyna can do it all. In 30 seconds I can have my Boss Bags and windshield on and it makes a great platform to tour on, especially solo. Take the shield and bags off and it's back to enjoying the way motorcycles were meant to be.
