RE: super-glide with speedo on bar's ?
Follwing on from the success of last years 35th anniversary model, the new FXDC has wide glide tank mounted speedo and I reckon it looks horn, and yes i have just picked my new 07 model up! In my opinion, whatever it's worth, the bar mounted speedo looks out of place, but is much more functional!
Fancy HD going for form over function!!!

Yea what mdog2222 said. I could do without my speedo too. Matter of fact, I did on one of my bikes The dang thing didn't ever read right. I just went the speed that felt right, and never got into trouble.
I like the tank speedo, but if I had a tach, I could not go with that tank tach/speedo combo. Tach would have to be on the bars.

It's on the bars, where it's supposed to be.
Never did like 'em on the tank. Never will... That goes for the tach, too.
In fact, that aircraft-style fuel filler on the Super Glide is da bomb! One of my favorite things about my SG...

I was thinking about taking the spedo off. That would look pretty sweet but void the hell out of the warranty I'm sure.

A stock TC 88 produces roughly 58 hp and 70 ft/lbs of torque.
A stock TC96 makes about 68hp and 81-83 ft/lbs of torque on the Dyna and Softtail bikes. These numbers do vary a bit depending on model.
A stage 1 TC96 should give something like 81hp and 96 ft/lbs torque in the Dynas and Softails. Good numbers!
For some basic comparison, the numbers on my TC88 LowRider with Stage 1, BSS pipes and a modified 44mmCV carb give me hp and torque numbers very comparable to the Stage 1 TC 96.....a bit shy of each but close enough for me.
So according to what I see and know a Stage 1/lightly modified TC 88 gives better numbers than a stock TC96. I have done side by side street comparisons of my bike to stock TC96 and I eat em' at will. Makes sense.
A Stage 1/lightly modified TC 88 lags behind a bit when compared to a Stage 1/lightly modified TC96....

I like tank for all that stuff. On the handle bars makes it look like dirt bike.

Not ALL Dynas... my 2000 Dyna Glide - Conv (FXDS) has both speedo & tack mounted on the handlebars. Only the gas guage is on the tank.

Weet: These numbers are pretty accuratefrom what I can remember....this is off the top of my head though.
