Well, its different. I cant say one is definitely better than the other, they are just different. I prefer the ride of the dyna though.
But my softail is a head turner. I got comments on it ALL the time. Maybe the dyna will get comments to once im done but the softail is a great looking bike, especially slammed.
Yep, thats the key... buy them at the right price. But even so, I've had my softail for 2 years and I have about $19k in it. Im trying to sell it for $12k and still not getting many calls....its crazy. The bike looks new! So its very hard to ever get the money back you out into it...but then again, I dont do it for that reason. But I wont sell it for less than $12k, period. Ill keep it before selling it for less.

I have got 2 calls on my softail. Its listed on craiglist in Fresno, San Fran, LA and Sacramento...I cant believe I've only received 2 calls and they werent really that serious.
Ive made up my mind though, I will not sell it for less than $12k. I started at $14500 and if I cant alteast get $12k for it, Ill keep it.

Also, did the HogRida Lay Down Plate (looks great!) and a Low Profile LED Brake Light with Turn Signals that are integrated.
Also, did the idiot light relocation to the console...love that also!

Love the look of the Lay Down Plate. That's the one I wnat for my ride...been looking for a long time for one that I like the looks of--your's is it.
How did you relocate the idiot lights? did yo have to cut a hole to mount it there and where did you find a grommet to fit it? Thanks!

Yes, on the idiot light relocation, you have to drill a hole between the speedo and tach. Do a search on the forum for "idiot light relocation dyna" and you will find nice write ups and pics to do it....thats what I did.

Changed out the pipes, went with a Patriot Defender. Love the way it sounds and looks!
Added a Fat Bob seat... very comfortable! Road pretty much all day last Saturday and felt great.
Added a custom AC Cover. It is engraved and is 60% gloss / 40% flat black. Love it also. I am probably going to powder coat my triple trees, lowers, fender struts and a few other parts with the 60% / 40%. And will do all engine parts in wrinkle black to match the engine.
Also added a Power Vision for the engine build. I think I am going back with the 107" kit from Chris Rivas here in Fresno. Love the power and torque it gave me on the Softail.
I am going to do the engine build at the same time I do all the powder coating and painting the tins. Hopefully within a few weeks... Lord willing.
Here are some pics...sorry, some are blurry but this build is no where near done.
