RE: FL Dyna
Wow !!! Thanks for all the replies and the pictures. I think that would be a good lookin' scoot. I know the Dyna's are a nice riding machine. The WG is my favorite,except for the 21". It needs that fat front end.
I know (at least at one time) CCI made a rear FL fender. I'm not a big fan of the off shore sheet metal, but in their defense, some of it's pretty good. My wife's 93 Sportster had the "fatbob" tank on it for 10 years with no problems.
Something else to think about. I'd just like something different. I went on the Vietnam Vet's Toy Run in Santa Cruz last weekend. It was a big run. I'd say at least 1/3 of the bikes there were late model baggers (Street Glides-or at least that look). Very nice !!! Still the overall favorite, but I want some thing different.
By the way, the Vietnam Vets REALLY know how to put on a great run !!!!!!!!

Way long tome ago the superglide was an FL with a sporty front end

Exactly, the frame, engine, tranny, everything but the front was the same (well, 5.0 gal tank on the FL and 3.5 on the SG...and that rear fender) but they diverged the product lines to optimize the frames for their intended purpose, given special attachment points, covered stuff, and so forth. Making an FL out of a Dyna is to totally go against that grain today, not that you can't do it. Heck, just get a basic Road King.

RE: FL Dyna
it may be going against the grain but you can't buy a FLH today like you could in 1970. Not everyone wants a bagger...sure you can remove the bags but the roadkings and electraglides look terrible without the bags because of the way they molded the sidecovers.
The only option for a FL front end without bags is softail, which doesn't do it for me.
IMO, the moco should sell one dyna model with the big front end...i bet they'd sell a boatload of them.

That's why I got the Superglide, I like the looks of seeing the rear shocks and it looked the closest to the older type FLH. I just don't have the $ to change out the front end.
I have looked at Ken's page before and he did a really nice job tranforming his bike to a Fat Glide.
