Trying to decide between models
I've owned several Dyna's in the past but haven't rode one since 98' and was wondering if they changed much since then besides the 6 speed and 96ci? I'm trying to decide between a Superglide Custom, Lowrider, and Fatbob and kind of leaning towards the Custom because the local dealer has one in stock that I like but was wondering if I like the handlebars. I hadn't realized they went back to the old buckhorns that I had years ago.
Any insight would be appreciated.

I went with the Low Rider
Being 5'7" I sat on all the Dynas and Low Rider fit me well. It comes with the forward foot rest and mid pegs so you can move you feet around for more comfort. Go with FXDL, you will love it.

I agree. I love having the ignition on the tank like that. I sat on a lowrider and the custom on the same day and really liked them both but they didn't have a fatbob. Probably liked the way the custom looked a little better, especially since they got rid of that color coordinated tank console. Now if I could only ride all 3!

I too had the Custom "talk to me". I've got the 2008 with the vivid black and pacific blue two-tone. It's a head turner. However, I didn't like the bars. I found that I was leaning a little forward and started to feel it in my back after 50-60 miles. I didn't know what bars I wanted so I decided to go the conservative route first. I bought a set of after market risers (4" up 2" back). They were very easy to install. I'm not a mechanic but I'm not wrench shy either. The risers brought the bars back to me and they felt great. I added a pillow look HD seat which has a deep feel with a nice lumbar support. I couldn't be happier with the feel of the bike. You will absolutely not go wrong with the Custom. Have fun.

FXDC has the bigger tank, tank mounted dash and chrome kit. i switched my bars with some street bob take offs that a friend had. Thats the way that it should come from the dealer in opinion. also I put on some highway pegs very nice.
