That is stunning & absolutely looks the business.
I've always wondered why more of the "club" bike crowd with their focus on performance & handling haven't gone to wider fronts yet. With either a 130/18 or 130/16 yer getting quicker steering & one hell of a footprint.
Before I put the FL front end on my Super Glide, I always felt like I was fighting the front when leaning into a turn with the stock 19". With the 16" front, it rolls into a lean, easy as you please & is absolutely planted.

Thanks for the kind words. I'm lost in the past as the Dyna build is sort of a 70's style canyon bike. You are spot on with the tire sizes, no loss in precision and a world of difference in feel, stuck like glue.

Bet those lighter wheels made a huge difference, too. Not the cheapest place to lose weight, but one of the most effective. When I swapped the wheels on my old ZRX1200 to some lightweight, forged aluminum rims, I couldn't believe how much better it rode & handled.
Kinda toying with the idea of going to 18"s on my Super Glide. 150 rear, 130 front and lacing up a pair of nice aluminum rims. Would shed several pounds over the 16"s on steel rims.
