Really? My impression was that there were more accessories etc. available for the Sportster. I'd still rather have the Dyna, though. I test drove several sportsters before buying my Dyna. After I test rode the Dyna, I couldn't go back to the Sportster. I'm 6'0", 200+ lbs. I was much more comfortable on the Dyna, even with mid controls. You'll probably like forward controls better though. When I traded in my Dyna the guys at the shop couldn't believe I had lasted 4 years with the mid controls.

Hey, you could always just enter the drawing in my signature and win yourself a Street Bob! Takes the price right out of the equation.

We're giving it away today!

Exactly what I'd say! But from personal experience I put 1200 miles on an '08 sprtsterC with forwards and could not believe the difference when I hopped on the dyna, I thought i would miss the nimble speed of the sporty- I never looked back,not once,and I'm only 5'10----6'1 forget it. I only lasted 1 month and threw a bunch of cash in the trash when I upgraded. You will enjoy the WG alot more I can promise you that! It isn't the lenght of the bike but the width of the frame and seat that affords the extra comfort,+ the extra torque and weight of the bike makes it smoother and more powerful to ride,there that should help!
