It is funny how so many people try to tell what you should or will do when it comes to selecting a ride. Several people told me that I would be "upgrading to a bagger or street glide when I bought my fxdc. I still have the dyna, spent a tone of money on it and have never been drawn to to street glide or for sure a bagger. For me the dyna is the best hd makes and I am 68 yrs old, running a 107, woods 555's and my list of HD accessories are too long to list. If I wanted luggage space and a radio I would buy a convertible.

Just figure out what you want and buy it. Don't listen to all the "experts".
