Thanks.That is good advice.

 

If your looking for a great, lightweight Harley with a 96 TC with 6 speed for not alot of cash, look for a base 2007 Super Glide (FXD). Great starting point, engine and trans are solid, modern Delphi fuel injection, non CAN-bus control system so everything electrical is simple. They have the 49mm forks too so a set of ricor intiminators and your choice of rear shocks and a tru track should make that FXD handle like its on rails! 96 twin cam is plenty powerful with a fuel pack and there are a ton of great exhaust choices if the bike doesnt already have a stage one installed.

Once you go on a Dyna, its hard to ride any other Harley unless you NEED the touring features. I personally rented a Road Glide custom while my Fat Bob was in for tire replacement and after a day I couldn't wait to get back on my Dyna.

I figured as much.They have power, the shorter wheelbase makes them fun and easier to ride,and they are not real heavy.That suits my needs the most right now.

 

Wide glide has a "longer" wheelbase. The new ones are 3 1/2 inches longer.

I have a few bikes, but by far my favorite to ride is my 2009 Street Bob. Carbs rule in my heart ... but being able to jump on, flip a switch, and take off is pretty sweet. Six speeds in the tranny is nice too. I bought my 2009 last year for $8K. Deals are out there if you have the patience to look and are willing/able to fix a few possible defects.

 

Tony,I have found nothing that cheap for that much bike, $8000, not even n the scratch and dent section.An aside, I see you live in navarre, my son lives in destin.

 

Ron, it could be that I'm just in a good location for used bikes. On 2 Jan (Pensacola's Craigslist) there was a 2009 Dyna Super Glide with just 8,800 miles for sale in Pace Fl (across the bay from Pensacola) for $8,200. And just a couple of days earlier there was a 2008 Super Glide for $6,500. If I didn't already have too many bikes, I would have been on that one. Maybe you can get your son in Destin to start checking the local listings.

i dunno a quick run through craigslist shows a couple of 2007+ streetbobs and a superglide in the 8-9k range in the greater dfw area..

 

Slozomby, I found an 05 dyna with only 6100 miles for $6500. I owe IRS back taxes, lots of them, so after the april 15th blood letting, maybe then i can jump on something.

Tony, that is a good idea about destin.I go there every summer, if i don't have a bike by april or may, that would be a good reason to go out there with my wife, my f 150, and a ramp and tiedowns.

 

Your 02 has the timkin bearings which reduces crank movement allowing you to use gear drive cams eliminating the tentioners completely as well as HP gain and better timing
