Not sure I understand your statement. All the current FX models are M8 swingarm models. In fact all big twins are M8 swingarm models. FX is more of a front end designation. Never was limited to the Dyna line.

I loaned the Standard to a friend from out of town so we could go for a putt. Yeah, a Hayabusa with a novelty helmet...

none of this means you're anointed with the authority to declare what is and isn't a "Real Harley."

Prot's point stands. you're defining it based on what you like.

I think he said something about his father's cousin's brother's daughter's former roommate.

Probably the source. Lol. I don’t see them making an exposed shock frame for the fx bikes anytime soon. The line was killed for a reason. Cost savings.
