My 1999 FXDX,bone stock,K&N,Screaming Eagle slip-ons. Also, breaks the tire loose in the first 3 gears. Not that big a deal. First three gears fairly close,low gear ratios. I lean forward to keep the front end down,thus taking weight off of rear tire,when I feel like impressing a cager or two at a green light. 88 incher........

Coupla thunks...
Might have had the gearing altered with a difference size front sprocket. Fairly common mod for those who like more go off the line and aint too bothered about the top end.
Short shots make a mad amount of noise and when you have exhausts that loud it does tend to make you feel like you are going a lot quicker than you are.

I think it all comes down to the weight.I have 2012 Super Glide and it feels quicker than my friends 2010 Street Glide and both are 96 c.i.

2-Unless you have x-ray vision you'd have to open the motor to figure out if anything has been done since the dealer doesn't know.
A dyna racing a bagger and you're surprised you beat him? 650lbs vs 800lbs+.
Also, "oh yeah its a 2008 superglide??? "....are you asking us what model dyna you own?
