Upgrades
i'm with you on this,I rode an 09'SB on the Demo Truck day & it rode way smoother than my 07'FXD,so much so, that it's back in the dealers to find out if there's anything wrong.

Specs
That only gives spec/model changes,dosen't give production/material upgrades.

I don't think there were any substantive changes to the Dyna line (except for the Street Bob) from 08 to 09.

I believe they lowered the stock afr from 14.7 to 14.5, but not aware of much else. I installed O2IED's on my 09 and notice little if any difference in how the bike runs. I'm leaving them in because I feel better with a 14.0 average afr, but the bike couldn't run any better with or without the IED's.
Now that it's got about 1200 miles on it, I can say things are really smoothing out. No land speed records with this bike (or any HD), but satisfying pull through the gears, and vibration is minimal.

Yup, I forgot about that. Steve at Nightrider did tell me the 09s were coming from the factory a tad richer.

changes?
Guys,when I told my dealer about my bike being much harsher than the 09',he said there where changes done to the 09.I was so releaved when he said he'd have my bike checked,like a dick I forgot to ask what they where.
