Here's a vote for cast wheels. They're easy to care for w/no muss or fuss.

I change my own tires as well. It's a much easier job w/o having tubes to pinch.

Love my FXDC... I've had two bikes with mags and the rest have been spokes. In the 35+ years I've been riding I've never had an issue with either.

I love my SuperGlide Custom, wouldn't trade it for anything right now. Love the laced wheels too, it's a nice Harley tradition. Welcome to the forum, don't hesitate to ask if you need help. Lots of good folk here.

Hi,my first H-D was an XL1200S in Jan 02.It cost £7000 and 11 months later when I traded it in I got £7000 for it against an FXDL. After a couple of years I traded that for a Springer Classic and at the end of '05 that was replaced by an FXD35,a fantastic bike and I would recommend a Dyna SuperGlide to anyone.I had St1 done along with Progressive shocks/fork springs as well as a few other bits and that bike was perfect for me. I think that a Dyna is great for anyone moving up from a Sportster.
However....
After a Road Captains course and an Advanced course at the H-D Riders Edge in Wales where I got to try out some Baggers I decided the Dyna would have to go,to be replaced by an FLHT. Without doubt the best H-D,no,make that the best bike I've had in 30 years of riding.
Get yourself a Dyna and enjoy riding it,but be warned. Somewhere...in a bike showroom near you...there's a Bagger with your name on the paperwork.
Ride safe.

V&H Slip Ons,Fuelpack,SE air filter,minimum bling but VERY useful LidHaulers,buy some.

how many flats you had in the last 2 years???
