Hello from Newnan, Ga. - I have been riding metric for years, but, the older I get the more I want to at least try a Harley. At this point I am leaning toward the Dyna Custom...since they went to the 6-speed and upped the motor to 96", I'm curious as to how this set up isperforming in the real world + any other quirks anyone may have withthis model.
The DYNA line is a good start. The biggest mistake people make when switching from a Metric to a Harley is trying to compare the two. The Harley will be much different. They sound different motor and transmition wise. They run great out of the box, and even better with a few mods.
