I recently bought my first Dyna and coming off a 2002 softail Night Train that I rebuilt and updated the look to. It’s a 2009 Fxdfse cvo fat Bob. What an incredible machine. It’s only got 4700 miles on the clock and first order of business is to tear down the cam chest and primary to check my runout. I feel it’s still new enough to catch any potential issues and I like to do preventative upgrades as well as semi-performance oriented.
*** Deleted: Tsk, tsk, tsk. No soliciting my friend until you are here for 5 days and have 5 unrelated posts to anything classified oriented. That means, Selling, Soliciting, etc.... Pls read the few HDF rules we have here in the upper/sticky part of this forum. Thanks mate. ***
I’m glad to see that these forums are still active and not everyone chooses fb. Too many con artists and scammers trying to take your money.
I live in SC and drove 9 hrs up to Kentucky to pick up this like new machine and I feel blessed. The idea was to buy a used bike that had most of what my train had plus a 6 speed and wider front tire. Added a hydro clutch to the 02 and can’t see myself using a cable again. The 6th gear has me at a comfortable rpm at 70mph.
Enough babble. Hope to chat with some knowledgeable folks and share all I have to offer as well. I’m not a dyna bro- I just like to tinker and this bike fit me good( will fit better with a speedcradle)..

Reason: Soliciting.
Welcome from Spartan Country, Michigan! I tell a lot of new comers to the forum to get: Factory Service manual and the Parts manual. Get a three ring binder and record all your maintenance, repairs, accessories, etc. This will be a great reminder of what was done when. And great material to pass along to the new owner should you sell and upgrade. Also know how large your fuel tank is, a rough idea of your range per tank, and record your fuel usage. I have an app called Simply Auto that I record all my fuel used. I use the odometer and use the fuel gage as reference only. I reset the odometer to zero on fill ups, and I know I can safely get 200 miles on a tank on around town riding, and upwards of 230+ on trips. Good Luck!!
