The 110 in my dyna has a good bit of work in it and is a bit of a monster as it is but I also find myself pushing it and riding harder than I ever did with my road glide. Both are fun bikes in their own merit. If I had room/money for both I'd have both I do not. I know most people opinions in this forum will be go touring and most in dyna section would be stay dyna. We all tend to love the bike we have most. My test ride will let me know which way I will go. That and talking with the wife since the last 4 bikes I didnt ask opinions I just did. So figured I'd try something different this go around. My biggest dilemma would be m8 or twin cam. I know how to work on a twin cam I have barely ever even looked at a m8. I am a creature of habit fairly bad so that will probably keep me looking at a twin cam. Only time and figures will tell. And definitely believe there will be pictures if I do.
its a hard choice. I own both a dyna and a rgs and can’t see not having either one. Some days I like to be fast nimble and light on my dyna. Leatherpros do a great job of having close to as much space as touring hard bags and I have a detach luggage rack if I ever need more storage. Some days I like the wind protection and comfort a bagger Cush drive gives, I just bought lowers this month and I’m sure that will help with colder temps this winter. I’d say keep the dyna it can do as much without the little creature comforts as a bagger can and be more nimble
Went by after work to talk numbers with the sales manager a bit we agreed on some numbers. It was after 6 and dark so I decided I'd sleep on it one more night and I wanted to test ride it tomorrow to make good and sure i was wanting this. It's a little extra each month and i am a tightwad lol. But it is a 19 twisted cherry road glide standard with abs, the security system, and the gts boom audio. They knocked 3k off of it along with giving me a more than fair price on my dyna. Still can go either way but might be back on a glide by the weekend. Is funny, the twisted cherry does not photograph well as it seems in person.
Well I went to the dealer and rode the exact bike they were wanting to sell me. I squeezed a few more dollars out of the deal. I go back after work and sign the papers. So looks like I'm coming back to the shark tank.
By the way, there is trick to help get that fat beast off the stand easier, turn the handlebars all the way right. I was surprised how much difference that made. Getting off the stand is the only time the bike feels heavy to me.

Congrats! Very nice! Post more pics when you get her home.

Beary
thanks yes I remembered that soon as I sat back on the bike. And either way it's so much easier than standing the lifted dyna up off the stand. It almost seems like child play.
Well signed papers tonight. Wife even approved the purchase so I'm happy. Hated giving the down payment but I'm a total tightwad when it comes to large purchases. More pics later but did snap one at a quick stop on way home. The color keeps growing on me more and more.
