Default the dyna bike

i dont know is it me or is it really the fact about the other models you do hear people do a little complaining about the other's but you dont really hear anybody complain about the dyna sure there was some problems with the bearings but the moco. back ya on them and a little this or that but over all.it seems like the dyna is pretty much bitch free.and if i'm wrong but i dont think so. i have known guys with fatboys or night trains. that had nothing but problems. and i'm sure they are others myself i had a 81 low rider that wasn't that great but i bought it used and the guy before me just did'nt take care of it.but all in all i sleep great at night because i know i have one of the best. and i'm sure i'm not the only one that feels that way.

Only complaint I have about my Lowrider is where the passenger pegs are located. The passenger gets a ton of feedback from the back tire. I didn't realize this until I installed passenger floorboards. My wife has to reposition her feet all the time and the kids especially my girl feel uncomfortable because their feet walk around on the boards.

There are trouble free bikes and problematic ones of every model and from every manufacturer. The funny thing about internet forums is non-owners would probably think whatever vehicle you're discussing is a POS because so many people come to the forum to discuss their problems (that's kinda what it's for though, isn't it - to find answers?).
But I will say that my Street Bob has been as problem free as any Honda I've ever owned. My only complaint is I don't have the $$$ to do all the mods I want to it.
