Any bigger guys with dynas?
Hey, new to the forums and new to harleys but not new to motorcycles. Ive ridden hd's but never owned one and its time to finally buy one soon. I really like the looks of dynas especially modified and the price point. Im 5'11 and 260lbs so im a big guy. Im curious if the bigger guys out there have good luck with dynas. Im looking either fat bob or street bob. Any suggestions from you guys is appreciated. Thanks

Welcome to the forum bud. These guys here are damn helpful and quite entertaining at times. But to answer your question I own a Bobbed Super Glide and I'm a big *** dude. Year and a half of work comp has taken its toll. Lol. But Im 6ft prob 280lbs of pure steel and sex appeal now and I'm very comfortable on my bike and i have a spring solo seat with barely any pad lol. I have had no problems and everyone thinks it fits me so anything in the dyna family should fit you. Go to the dealership and see which bikes is most comfortable to you and go from there. Good luck.

Welcome Action!
I'm on my way to being as big as you, 5'11" or so and 230. Fat Bob is a perfect fit for me. Love this bike. (Spent two months on a Street Glide earlier this year and could not wait to get back on my Fat Bob.) I'm sure any Dyna will suit you. Check them all out.

6ft 265 here and I like my Street Bob, I need to switch from drag bars on 4 inch risers to some 13-14 inch apes. Other than that I feel mine fit me great and I removed forward controls and reinstalled mids also (32 inseam)
The Superglides and Street Bobs are definitely the more compact sporty Big Twins, which is why they handle so well.

Hey Action,
I ride a Super Glide and I am 6'1 and I was 250 when I bought it almost two years ago. Down to 225 and it rides like a dream. Any Dyna would be a good fit for you. BTW, post pics when you get it.
