Default Which dyna?

I will be replacing my Dyna for a new one soon.

I like the low, but like the Fat Bob looks better, plus dual disc.

How bad do you guys think that FB will be in cross winds with those almost solid wheels?

Here in AZ, we get some krazy winds sometimes.

Might as well go with the Screamin Eagle, 110 cubes of nothing but power.

handlebar position may be a factor in your decision......the one-disc in the front stops the bike.....
I will admit other bikes sometimes will "pull" to the side if the disc...

I can attest the fatbob is a charm to ride and just the ather day I was faceing a 30 mile drive wit 40 mile/hr head winds,but sort of coming at me on and angle from the right. Plus I have detatchable windshield.I felt it but nonetheless managed to not get blown off the road!

I neglected to mention, my current ride is an 07 FXD. I love the bike, it will be 2 years old in Feb, and I already have well over 35K on it. I just did a 1500 mile iron butt ride.

I was also looking at the FXDL, I guess I have about 2 months before I make a decision.

I like the FB, just concerned about the almost solid wheels and cross winds. I have heard some not good things about solid wheels and cross winds.

The FB looks sweet. Leaves very little to be done. Were i to buy one, I'd go for the black cherry denim.
