What an awesome Shovel. Man, I love them bikes. They definitely have a great look and a very distinctive bark to them. My favorite HD engine.

actually it is the 1st year for the dyna... if you look it has the exposed shocks, rubber mounted motor (now solid on it) and shifter side drive train... why would you say that the first GLIDE is not a DYNA? what would you say it is?... OOH YA! and it is an FX!!!!
dont tell me that the horse shoe oil box threw you off!
- granted the first "dyna" was introduced in 91 with the FXDB sturgis (bad *** bike by the way) however the FX has just the same features just the name "dyna" did not come out till the 90's they where called FX's

The Dyna was a replacement frame for the FXR. It has 2 rubber mounts instead of the previous 3. That thing IS a superglide, but it is absolutely NOT a Dyna. Tell an FXR owner you like his Dyna sometime... just make sure you've got a head start.
