Default dyna frames

Are all the dyna frames the same?
I've only got 9 more payments to go on my RKC
and I'm thinking about building me a switch back.
I'd like to build a switch back out of a super glide
custom or I'd like to build a super glide custom
out of a switch back. What I'm seeing in my mind
is a switch back w/o bags and super glide custom
exhaust and a heritage front end. One last question
on a switch back what are the passengers feet
boards/ pegs mounted ,the frame or the swing arm?
I'm wanting this bike for only my personal pleasure,
if I want to please my wife we'll take the RKC.

If I am not mistaken, the only Dyna frame that is different is the FXDWG Wideglide. It has a 36 degree rake instead of the 30 that is common with the Superglide or Switchback. Not real sure about the Bob's but they look the same. As you can see I prefer the rake. The passenger pegs are on the frame.

Wide Glide and Fat Bob each have their own frames. Superglide, Street Bob, Low Rider, and Switchback use the same frame.

why a switchback? Get a superglide or fat bob. It will be cheeper and look better.

Lets switch rides for the day and you can get a real good feel for the dyna and me for the king.

I had a 2000 Dyna Wide Glide and I was trying to make it look like a touring bike. I lost it to a wreck and I bought a RKC in 07 and I'll be danged If I haven't tried to turn it into a Dyna however the next time I ride down to your part of the world maybe we could grab a burger a glass of tea and shoot the breeze for a bit.

'06 and up Dyna models have swing arm mounted passenger pegs; pre '06 Dyna models have frame mounted passenger pegs.

That's odd. My '13 FXDC has frame mounted passenger pegs.

If so, your 2013 FXDC has to be a one of a kind customized model!

Like Reindeer, anxious to see some images of how they are mounted to your frame and not to the swing arm.....

I would find a Insurance totaled Street Bob or Super Glide and experiment to your hearts content. My sig pic is a 2008 Street Bob (insurance total) turned into a 1960 Duo Glide replica. There is also the FL-Dyna Social Group with hundreds of posts on turning a Dyna into what it sounds like that you want.
