I would have to disagree on this. My stock FXR4 weights in at 560 lbs - measured and my 2000 FXDX weights in at 670 lbs - measured w/o bags and 1/4 fairing. Facts are facts here. My FXDX is 110 lbs heavier than my FXR4.
I like the handling of the FXR4 and the power of my FXDX. I have the FXDX forks with heavy oil, works rear shocks and a true-track. Setup the preload per the instructions (HD and Works matched specs) and tweaked in the rebound/compression on the forks over time. Do need to upgrade the fork springs though, stock ones are always too weak. Still the FXR4 feels like it's on rails - more so that the dyna and its stock. However, the dyna can overpower the FXR4 in and out of turns so ultimately it wins.

I had an fxr 87 and it was a good bike
I true track will greatly help that rear disconnect feeling
it stiffins up the entire connections and keeps the rubber rear mount from flexing horizonal
