New to the forum. I've owned Harley's but have sold them based on family needs. I am looking to get back into the scene and want to kick some ideas around regarding a late model Dyna. Can anyone point me in the right direction here? I'm interested in most bang for my buck, but want to focus mainly on good handling, braking and power. Mostly for riding locally and occasionally through the Texas Hill Country. Thanks to all and look forward to the feedback.

That bike is Stupid, Impractical, Uncomfortable and "God I want one so Bad" It looks fast just sitting there.

 

Welcome to the Forum from the middle part of Texas. Since you know by heart, that every thing is bigger in Texas, get the Road King.

 

Depending on "how West" of Houston you plan on riding, please take into consideration cross winds in Texas. Choose a bike with a minimal side profile. No bags for instance. W'shield is your choice. Also, a bike that " fits" you. A bike that gives you hip cramps is no good to you. Bike fitment is a safety issue. Don't neglect this at the expense of "style."
Above all, ride safe!

 

Go to Mancuso Crossroads HD and sit on a bunch of bikes, then demo a few and see what scratches your itch. They usually have a good selection of new and used.
