Probably in the metric section since those side covers look like they came off a Honda.

to really answer ya, FXR, FXLR, FXWG all pre Dyna dynasty. Now they are FXDWG,FXDLR,and what ever the FXD superglide prefix is. It was a dyna before dyna was invented by the evil moneymaking masterminds decided to make them brilliant.

anybody understand any of that BS? yes tell it back to me cause I lost my self.

And this is coming from a guy whose aesthetic sense allowed him to buy a Rocker. Too funny

If I valued your opinion, that might upset me.
I'm teasing Schu for his thread in the BS section.

I think you mean a Dyna is a FXR wannabe. It will never be one though, because it has an inferior frame. The FXDX is the closest you'll ever get to the handling qualities of a FXR. Close, but yet so far away...
