Default new FXDI

Picked up my new Dyna FXDI Friday about noon, Black of Course, got to ride it 58 miles, dropped off the FLHT for a 130,000 mile service, never rode a dyna since I sold my 1971 Superglide in 76.. Can't tell if It likes my back or not just yet, will have to put more miles on it to really know for sure..but i do feel good about buying it..1. helped the ecomey, 2 doing my bit to conserve gas, AND 3 I broke the drought that has been here in the midwest for over a year, its going to rain untill Tuesday afternoon..Aren't you all proud of me?[sm=biker.gif]

Good Job, Bear, outstanding.....I put stock wide glide bars and foot controls on mine, takes the kinks out of my back and makes it pretty comfy.

Bear64,

Mine is still in the shop being Sportsterized. Is it really true about the rain? We sure need it here, Oceanside, SoCal. Was at the Yuma prision run last weekend, the consensis is: all Bikes should be black. Goodtimes with the new bike.

Best,

Pixs

Ps. if the rain doesn't show up, you will need to take a putt to the left coast to help us out.
