Like said, big performance differences are the rear tire size (160 vs 200), rear swingarm and suspension (dual shock vs mono shock), fork tree width (49 vs 41), and engine mounts (rubber vs rubber plus head stabilizer link). Rear tire width, depends on if you do cold or wet weather riding. Wide tires do better in both. I like the easily adjustable dual shock on the dynas. Tree width, not much difference there. Engine mounts, dyna shakes more. I like the paint jobs on those Softails more than the wide glides.
