Lean angle on a softail has nothing to do with floor boards. Mine will scrap and fold before I grind hard parts That's what they are supposed to do. Dyna's sit higher and have a better lean angle. I have owned both and really never worried about it.
It might be, but on a Dyna you got that unbalanced, rubber-mounted paint shaker between your legs...
While you could argue the Dyna has a better suspension, I wouldn't go so far as to say it's a better ride...
I have both a Dyna and a Softail and I love the vibration of a Dyna, and how smooths out as the RPM's climb. Once I get going, it begins smooth out, and by the time I'm at 2400 RPM's it's smooth as silk. I think what the OP was talking about as far as the suspension/better ride was that a Dyna handles better than a softail. Having both, I'd have to say that's true.
