The FXR has a stronger frame and its three rubber mounts are superior to the Dyna's two, resulting in less vibrations and no high-speed steering problems. The first Dyna frame flexed enough to crack the primary case, til Harley boosted the stiffness by bolting the crankcase more securely to the transmission. And even on the new ones, it's common for guys who ride them hard to bolt on a chassis stabilizer (True Track and Sputhe are two manufacturers).
