Have you narrowed it down to a brand?

Opinions are like ******** and everyone has one, but not everyone has a springer dyna!!

Have any questions on the Dragon let me know I will answer what I can. Bikerlaw is a great person to ask on the paughco as he mounted one of them.


Here are some pictures of the dragon on a 2006 wideglide.

Only my opinion...

I own a 2003 Heritage Springer and a 2011 Wide Glide. I really don't think a springer front end belongs on a Dyna. I would just powder coat the trees and lowers on the Wide Glide...

Let the WG be a WG...

Ha Ha you are close well accept the sandles,shorts and shirts. More of a Carhart and Red Wings guy. I do call attention to myself though at times. Here is a photo from awhile back when Favre first came to the Vikings, I rode like that on the Flood run that goes up and down the Mississippi of Minnesota and Wisconsin. Good times by all that day!

Oh and riding 400 miles with that helmet is hell on the neck, but so worth it on special occasions!

I hope bumping this for additional opinions, experience and pictures isn't to far out of line.

I've been thinking my second bike is going to be a wide glide with a springer.

I like springers on rigid frame bikes. I like my dynas non springer. Here is a pic of my old santee frame shovel. The springer is from jerry's springers out of florida. I really liked the look of it and it rode pretty damn good.
