What's a Soft Tail? Something you get with your Easter basket?

Nope. It's what happens to the OL between divorces.

Is it me or does it not seam there are more items for Softails than Dynas? I've been looking for a Open Belt Drive for my FXDB and really coming up short. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

There are in fact way more aftermarket stuff for softails than for dynas..........this is because it takes so much more to make them into decent motorcycles. The Dyna is good the way is :-)

+1 for the dynas. I almost bought a night train when I was moving up from a sportster. The sales guy made the mistake of putting the night train I was supposed to buy next to the Fat Bob.

Looks and ease of maintenance are the reasons. I can get over a hard clutch pull as the required time to get the $$ will allow plenty of gym time, lol

I test rode a Night Train when I was getting ready to trade in my ZX6R and then test rode a Dyna. Dynas by far have better suspension and was more comfortable for me. Which was exactly what I was looking for, got tired of being hunched over doing 200+ mile rides on my 600cc corner carver, lol
