TheFXD's dont stick around the dealer here either. They slap windvests and drag bars on em, then relocate the front signals and move the speedo down to the base of the risers. The only increase in price is the cost of the parts. I think the longest I've seen one of these sit was 2 days before it was sold.

I could have had anything I wanted, I chose a Super Glide because I liked it the best.

Wanted a Wide Glide but liked black more than chrome. Wanted cast not spoked wheels. Wanted a round rear fender not the boat tail. So I got me a Super Glide and put Wide Glide bars and forwards on it. Now I have a bike that suits me just fine. No matter what the current fad is. Yeah, and it's black, too.

Well, if Dynas are "the jet fighters of the Harley line," then clearly they only appeal to us Top Guns.

One of my friends called me over to admire his new Road Sofa and even though I'm 20 years older than he is all I could say was, "Yeah, I'm gonna get one of those when I get old too."

Mine never even made it to the show room floor. I was thinking about getting a custom but liked the tank and wheels on the SG. So after 3 seats, 3 exhaust and a whole buch of other Du-Dad's I love her!! I say good Morning to her and check on her before going to bed!

I've added rigid bags to my FDX it's now a "Dyna Glide"... LOL. I have the best of both worlds. I admit, my next ride will be a true bagger, but for now, I'm a happy camper!
