I love my dyna, but I wish it was a softail all the time. Both bikes look cool, but I think when equally customized, softails take the cheese everytime!

the only softail I like is the heritage. I love my dyna streetbob. If I were riding 2 up I might consider the FXDC its way more chrome then id like but for 2 up I think it would be more comfortable. With the streetbob you will have to buy new seat or passenger pillion, and passenger pegs. I dont know why but some genius at HD decided that mounting the passenger pegs on the swingarm is the way to go. Hmmm. Anyway. Wideglide or FXDC probably a better 2 up bike. If you just have to have a streetbob it can be made to work for two.

Blackline,

Get some pullback risers and drag bars Done!!! Softails magically holds their value better than dynas.

I bought my blackline a few months ago and really enjoy riding it. If I had to do it all over I would still buy the blackline. But its your hard earned money, you need to go with what you feel more comfortable riding. Good luck on what ever you decide, I don't think you'll go wrong with either bike.
