Well, yes. At least thats what I'm figuring it is. Its really a Low Rider with a touring seat, saddlebags and a tombstone windshield from one of my Shovelheads. Me and the wife take many a long cruise and I wanted something thats both comfy and flexible, so heres where I'm at. Just wanted to share and show once again the versitility these Dyna's have. Might do floorboards next, but we took a pretty long ride yesterday and we were both pretty happy.

Nice! But no pad for the sissy bar? Can't be very comfortable for your wife.

The Dyna family is adaptable to most situations, it's a shame that the onwners of softies don't see this. I built up my 02 FXD as a touring bike, the wife and I rode it to the Finger Lakes of New York and back. It handled everything thrown at it. Got some good positive comments in parking lots from the small town folks. Good looking L/R you've got. My L/R is is mostly a solo bike.

Thanks guys. dynamitebuzz...I swear to god I have the sissy bar pad. Bought it off ebay and its the special pillow pad made just for the round stock sissy bar. The wife hates it. Says just the plain bar is way more comfy. She claims the pad is just an uncomfortable pressure point. I suspect if I had a much taller bar with a larger pad she might like that, but as far as "this" sissy bar goes, no pad allowed.

LOL..And here I thought you were getting back at her for something. As long as she's happy, right?

Right up my alley...I am all about ADDING to a bike...not so much for the stripped down look (or feel).
