2005Dyna Super Glide
Well hello all. I just came across this web site tonight. I am a first timer as of today I bought a 2005 Dyna Super Glide in chopper blue with fuel injection.
Although my purchase experience was okay, I have a loaner until they put my new wheels on, should pick it up tomorrow.
Overall I am happy with it, I am really looking forward to my first ride though. This is my first true big twin. I have had several sport bikes and a honda shadow 1100. I know I finally woke up, but realistically I just now can somewhat afford one.
Am looking forward to great knowledge and many opinions here. Thanks for clicking my thread.

Hello Brian. Welcome to the forum. I have a 2004 Super Glide that I bought last July. I am new to this forum and it has provided me much information and some very entertaining reading. Hope you enjoy the new ride and the new online friends.

RE: 2005Dyna Super Glide
Thanks to everyone. Is there anything special I should know about this website or about my bike that would be great or helpful to know. I really am enjoying the fat boy they gave me to ride until I get mine. So far I have read that mine is much faster than the fat boy.

RE: 2005Dyna Super Glide
I've always loved Superglides and still have a soft spot for 'em even though I'm on my second Electraglide.
I know you're in for many miles of smiles
I spent 10 years and well over 100,000 miles with my '84 Superglide II.
With over 30+ years on bikes of all makes and 20+ years on Harleys, the Superglide is still a favorite of mine.

Welcome, I too bought a '05 Superglide 2 weeks ago and it's a great bike. I got it two weeks ago and have 1200 miles on mine now and will have over 7000 miles on it after I ride to California and back starting in a week and a half.

RE: 2005Dyna Super Glide
I guess I might as well take of advantage of this ppst and introduce myself too.
I have been riding on and off since 1978. Mostly Kawasaki's with a Yamaha and Honda thrown in.
Last year after not riding for ten years I picked up a 2004 1200R Sportster. I did the stage I and put almost 11,000 miles on it in the year I had it but decided I wanted something just a little more comfortable and a little better suited for interstate travel. While the Sportster was a snotty, quick, good handling bike I always felt it just did not feel very well planted and secure at today's interstate speeds.
On May 13 I traded my Impact Blue 1200R in on a EFI Chopper Blue FXD. I added a set of fwd controls and I just added a set of saddlebags and I will be doing the stage1 shortly. To date I have 2700 miles on my new ride and the bike is FANTASTIC. While I loved my Sporty, I feel like I am riding a reclining chair when I am out cruising on my FXDI.
