Hi, I'm new here and I'm thinking about getting one of the DYNA Motorcycles. Never had a Harley before but had some Jap Bikes about 30 years ago. I'm 56, Retired and getting the fever but I dont know very much about HD's. I want to do some reserch so I can get the best bike for me and I have plenty questions.

Question 1,
where Can I find a exploaded view of the 96 engine and trans ?

Question 2,
I see some of the 96 engines are different, how does that work ?

 

THANKS FOR YOUR SERVICE DANNELL, and Welcome from Vancouver B.C. CANADA. ANSWER 1, TRY GOOGLE. ANSWER 2, NEVER HEARD OF DIFFERENT 96 TWIN CAM MOTORS

Welcome from North Georgia. Yours sounds like a similar story. My wife and I got the bug visiting a HD dealer near Fort Collins/Denver area at New Years. At 55 I hadn't ridden since being a teenager 37 years before (and my wife never had). I did the Sportster trade deal in February and traded up to a Heritage after 10 weeks and about 2100 miles (my wife is moving from a metric to the HD Tri Glide). If you are thinking new, I believe there is another trade-up deal going on and you can get some free time on a Sportster that way before you move up. Just a thought.

 

welcome to the forums, The dyna are great bikes with good handling. I think you will be satisfied. I would suggest going to a local harley dealer and check out the features that you like on the models. Take a test drive to make sure that you are satisfied. The 96's have excellant power and are extremely light in the dyna frame. To bad you live a distance away. I have a 2009 Fat Bob that I am selling cheep. Enjoy your stay in the forums.
