Default Ride a Club style - Whats your age?

Looking to pick up a Dyna soon and coming from a skater/BMX/MX back ground I really enjoy the versatility of the club style, the handling, performance and ability to jump off curbs. Just curious about the age range, I'm coming from a lowered Softail Deluxe with apes.

Welcome man. Club style dyna are sort of a jack of all trades style it seems. I'm 34 now and had a club style fat bob and ventured over to the touring side and built a club themed road glide before the desire for a dyna overcame me again and I recently picked up a lowrider s for a solid starting point. Once again welcome and you'll probably enjoy the dyna more but sure the softail was pretty cool.

I'm 61, been riding this style of motorcycle since I built my brand new '79 Low Rider this way.
It was not easy to build a "tall bike" in '79, everybody was into lowering them back then.

28 over here. Also enjoy the versatility of the club style dyna. The fairing alone makes the bike so much more comfortable.

I'm glad I found this thread, I'm 58 and my SB is starting to go in that direction and wondered how age appropriate I looked.... even if that mattered ....which it doesn't.

Not to hijack this thread but......Can I ask you guys your opinion.......I was thinking of an SS air breather and really don't want to go chrome since most of the bike is black. Because of the chrome exhaust....do you think it will look off if I went with a black air cover? The part numbers with SS is confusing, what part number should I use in black for the newer SB? The thought occurred to me to wrap the exhaust but I don't like what I've been reading about cracking pipes so I'm on the fence......thanks everyone.
