What is really 'different' about a dyna? I know a Softail is ballanced/dry sump and the Touring models are unballanced/wet sump. Just wondered where the Dyna stands alone? By the way, I really like the Switchback.

A dyna is a sportster frame with a big twin in it. (neither the dyna guys or the sportster guys will agree)...
