Default Hi From OZ getting a HD

Hi to you all from OZ ......iam in the process of choosing my first harley i found it really difficult to choose between
the dynas and the softails my two favs are the Wide Glide and the Custom Softail love the look and feel from both bikes.

The color range is great with the wide glide dyna dont know why they dont have similar choices with the custom softail.
I really like the pewter pearl it would be great if the custom had this color.

i think the custom is the way i will go the setup on the bike suits me i dont have to change anything, i might juat get an additional seat like the stripper seat it looks very slimline wonder if it is hard on the rear end ?.........i just like to mull over it for a little while and then do the deed.

sorry no pics cos i dont own one yet !!!!

Welcome from Upsate NY, and you won't be dissapointed no matter which bike you get.
My personal preference is for the Cusom, but you need to make the decision of what suites your taste and needs.
Good Luck and we'll see you down the road.[sm=biker2.gif]

Welcome Turul.

In in Wollongong, NSW.

I favour the softails personally and colour is only paintwork....

Choose what makes you enjoy it most.

cheers

Mick

G'day mate. I've had both a dyna and a softail. If you want something sporty and quick handling, the Dyna is like a Sportster on steroids. The softail is a bit bigger and heavier and makes a great cruiser.

Try to ride both if you can before you buy.
