I'd be more inclined to go for something like this and then mod it how I wanted.
i would too....
i've got a 2008 fxdf, i had a 2000 fxdx and my wife has a 1990 fxlr...
The last one is the best steering one....
But i like the power and the looks of the first one best....
The brakes of the last two are way better....
Don't forget about your driving.... what do you do on the bike.... cruising or racing!!!!
the weight of the bike is also important....
thank for all the input guys , i do think the listing price for the bike is way too high than i want to spend for a bike that old , i just wanted to get info on ride quality from the different model years as i have always been a softail ridged bobber style bike kinda guy so this is a little bit off the beaten path for me in terms of the style bike i am drawn to i just cant get on board with tc b motors for some reason the old evo style yeah dig it , i am still on the fence there is a victory that is at arlen ness i still like a lot though!!!!
The X in FX stands for an XL front end. That was what HD put on the original Super Glide. This has changed over the years as the new Dynas now have a 41mm front end. But originally, the X was for an XL/Sportster front forks. D stands for Dyna.
06 and newer are 49mm.

How can you tell? I'm not familiar with the bike and was curious.
The '99 FXDX is a styling exercise; the FXDX didn't get the good suspension bits until the 2000 models, which is also when the upgraded brakes were added...you can see the adjusters at the back of the lower legs near the bottom on the FXDX/T front ends. Like mine.
