Default Another '05 vs '06 Dyna question

Hey All,

This question I guess is for those of you who've rode or owned both '05 and '06 Dynas. Am I going nuts or is the distance on the '06 models reduced between the foot pegs and the shifter peg/rear brake lever. It seemed to me I went from the toe of my boot on my '05 FXDI to the ball of my foot on my '06 FXDLI. Now I know the low rider is lower...but I had lowered my FXDI to within a 1/4" of the FXDLI. I don't know...maybe they need to change my meds again...or maybe someone else noticed the same thing...any input would be appreciated...even it suggested making a Dr's appointment[:-]

I think you are sitting lower on the 06........I sat on an 05 and swear the 06 is lower. It does "feel" different to me too so put down your meds.........but after about 50 miles I'm used to it and don't even notice it. It's a big change in feel from my Sporty but better. That's it......think better............better.............better...KB[sm=drooldude.gif]
