thanks guys...I think I have finally made my decision. I am going to go with the SE dyna..the exact one in the picture...going to be heading by the dealer saturday to put it on layaway for the winter so I can pay a little on it and have a bigger down payment.
I love the idea of modifying the bike I just didn't want to buy a base model and build it up to the SE spec and more. this way I can start off with the SE spec and mod from there. Like I said in an earlier post. I have my dads CVO ultra classic and a new tri-glide coming in march that I will be able to tour with...this is the fun bike...now let the suggestions start for mods

Congratulations on making the decision! That is usually the hardest part.
The first mod I would do (and did it to both of my bro's CVO bikes) is put in some CVO255 or CVO257 cams. We put 255s in the Dyna and 257s in the Ultra. Makes a world of difference in the sound and the pull. Also, he put D&D exhaust on both of them.

Simple the Rocker is a hot bike but its a manufactured custom. I say buy the dyna and build it how you like it.
Also asking in the dyna forum if you should get a rocker or dyna... I mean what do you expect us to say?

Lol I know there is a biased opinion here. haha I just happen to be browsing the dealer website and on the home page was this bike...I fell in love with it. Does anyone here have issues with riding with a passenger? Is the passenger comfortable for long periods of time? I will mostly be riding solo but the occasional passenger if the need comes up.
As for the cams is there anyplace where i can read up on them?? I know I am going to have to wait until the bike factory warranty is over before I do any serious modifications...
thanks so much guys I can't wait until next spring...

personally if you have that kind of $$$ do not spend the coin on the SE... get a stock dyna and drop the $$$ where it matters, motor and performance.... why pay for a bike that was already modded out for you... my dad is doing it but that is mainly cause he is done wrenching (why not i do his work now anyway) your 25 brother...s till got lots of wrenches to turn... if you have riden them both... you would not be asking this ?... the dyna handles like NO other harley, hence the reason there is one in my garage
Any of the CVO bikes are worth the money. These guys talking about buying a standard and putting money in mods apparently don't realize when they get finished spending their money they haven't increased the value of the bike whereas a stock CVO will always bring more coin than any hopped up base model.
All of us customize our bikes but when it comes to trade-in, they look in the book and say...."'06 FXDB? We'll give ya $8grand unless you start taking stuff off...."
