FXDX. it is a sport model. for handling you want taller shocks, a NARROW front end, not a wide glide, beefy forks, mids, and drag bars. trust me, I ride the mountains, all the outlaws around here do it that way for a reason. you can also get things like a steering stabalizer that help with steering and speed wobbles. I am on a o7 street bob with 16 inch ape hangers and forward controls. I can out-ride a lot os guys on sprtbikes. it is mostly in the rider, and knowing your bike.

I'm quite certain mine will compete with a stock FXDX when I'm done. I've got FXDX shocks on the rear, a Works front for kit on order, fork brace, and my dual brake kit will be here Tuesday. But yeah, as far as I know the FXDX is the best handling Dyna out there.
Although I must say I don't know why mids would handle better than forwards. The position of your foot controls shouldn't have any impact on how the bike itself handles.

It's the little details that make the difference. Comparing stock dynas is kinda lame because most of us mod them anyway. So whatever variation of the same platform you started with doesn't really mater in the end...IMHO.
For the most part, a dyna is a dyna is a dyna.

Fatbob ... big front tire but less rake so it turns quick and the added plus of the big front tire is stability. I've come to Harley from a much bigger rice cruiser (Honda VTX 1800) and compaired to that the Dyna Fatbob feels like a small nimbal sport bike! And as mentioned a lot of "experts" have said the Fatbob is the best handling dyna in their reviews.
