Both nice looking bikes and shows you how little they changed over time cosmetically. How do they compare when you ride them?

well the dyna got the handling locked in with it being rubber mounted
only thing the shovel got it on is looks and sound, something about
that dyna on trade ins to the Harley dealer a dyna only stay around
two days it has become the fastest classic ever to move in sales, just
don't see many dynas anymore, and I almost get more attention on
the dyna than shovelhead

My ironhorse chopper gets lots of attention from people that know nothing, but when my shovelhead draws a crowd of old guys that's what's cool.
