motor differences
can any one tell me the difference between the engine on a bagger/dresser and the one on a dyna. I am want to know about its apperience (sorry about spelling) not so much its guts. if the engines and trannies where together and both sets where seating on a bench. How would I be able to tell them apart.

I believe the engines are similar, but the trannys are different,and the primary cases are totally different;the touring has the short stubby case & the Dyna has the long,traditional case. Never could figure out why the Dave did this--seems to me it would be less complicated to put the same drive train in both bikes.

softail motors have a noticible buldge in the front near the oil filter, for the balance shafts, dyna's have provisions for a large ft motor mount (rubber) while baggers have a different ft bracket for the ft mount, oil pans are different from dyna to bagger as well but thats under trans which is different between the two(dyna,touring)
