dyna questions
RE: dyna questions
I liked the '06 Dyna line because of the closed loop map system. I didn't think bike would need to be remapped after just changing pipes. I thought thats what the O2 sensors were for. I thought I studied, but I guess I don't know s**t.

RE: dyna questions
I bought the new 06 Wide Glide, though I'll mostly carry grandkids. The warranty looked better than saving a couple of grand. The 6 speed, easy clutch, easy EFI start, and the comfort are fantastic. I knew what I wanted, so didn't ride anything before going Harley after all these years, but sounds like you should try several before you buy.

RE: dyna questions
Wife made the final choice......
But We opted for an "Older" bike.
It was already broke in and modified @ 13.5 k..... and the previous owner treated Her like a Diva !
A new Scoot would had me near 16-18 Grand, and has been said left precious little $ leftover to Modify.
The Bike runs strong, looks like Showroom "06's"... Clean and Scratch/Dent Free..... Always dry, not a drop of oil lost..... And a list of aftermarket's I woulda choked on had I purchased them !
Harley Wind Sheild
Boss Bags
Mustang Seat
Hooker Pipes
K&N Breather
Custom Paint
Too Many Chrome pieces to list... Fork Covers, Calipers and Rotors x3, obligatory Battery Box, Motor-mount, Horn, Starter, ect...ect..
Custom Pegs, Linkage, Shifter, Crash-Bars, Mirrors... It goes on.....
( Previous Owner provided reciepts for over $ 8,000.00 in Mods Done between 04 and 05. )
All that had me not feeling too bad about No Warranty, or the "Age" of my "98".
Fact is all I read says the 1340 EVO's of that time were Strong running SOB's, and I should get near, or over, 100,000 Miles outta it if maintained properly.
(Im not sweating Resale, tho the bank tells me Im good at this time, and wouldnt I like to trade up...Lol.... )
I like the Carb .
New Dynas are nice... but still a little "New" design wise for my taste.
The Bike Runs Great and 2-Up is not a problem with me and the wife, combined weight less than 350 lbs.
If I had one gripe.....
The Progressive 440's are nice 2-Up, but Solo even on the softest setting they still are pretty stiff to me.
Any Dyna YOU like...... is the Best !
