Dyna super glide Test Drive :SRK Cycles 

Rode a 99 Dyna Superglide for 6 years until I bought a Road King. The Dyna handled better, and definitely had the power. 615 lbs dry was perfect. Power to weight was great in my opinion. Miss my Dyna

As I Dyna owner I’ll say this. They are awesome bikes and they’ll be HD’s McRib Sandwich for years to come.

Dude, folks have a hardcore dyna following with tons of aftermarket stuff to accommodate the scenes. They dropped it because who ever is running Harley is a loon!

Had '82 fxs vance& hines, s&s, sweet bike... til got injured... not on bike... sold her. Learned to walk again... gained strength & confidence... raised 5 kids. Just bought, 30 days ago, an fxbb. Jury is still out on M8 but, FREEEDOM! Oh, yeah, man... freedom. That's what it's all about. God bless. Love you brother. Ride on!

The dyna is just a motorcycle plain and simple, I started out on triumphs,sportsters, superglides then I got old and wanted bags windshield and a heavy long distance bike now I’m real old and want just the plain simple motorcycle again went in a complete circle

Best bike I ever had was a 2002 Dyna Wide Glide. It was carbureted and did that awesome tha thump tha thump tha thump ide 😎. It would idle so slow and always drew a crowd when I fired it up. People don’t get to hear the old Harley idle sound anymore. I sold it 3 years ago and deeply regret it. I wanted to take long rides and I got pretty stiff and sore on it after awhile. But I shoulda just kept it as a last of its kind trophy. I think in the future it won’t be knuckleheads that’s so rare...it will be Harley’s that had a carbed engine at all! Big mistake. Matter of fact I think I’m going to find a 2003 100th anniversary model and store it away. Not a big deal now but give it another 30 years

My Dyna is amazing. I will probably keep it forever.

Love my 99 Dyna superglide!! Changed bars n intake n it rocks !!! Wouldn’t sell it ! Love the handling, love the sound

I own a 05 Dyna, just fits, feels old school. I love it, got 65,000 on her! Did away with plastic cam adjusters, went gear drive, running a S&S cam, sweet bike!

The Dyna line was dropped as part of a costs saving move. They went to a semi-modular manufacturing process. All new models will use the same motor, mounted in a very similar frame, (certainly with the same motor mount at it's heart) with a lot of interchangeable parts. The sales leader for the last few years of the mixed models was the soft-tail. So now, all bikes for the most part will be variations on the soft-tail. This saves a lot in tooling, training, and manufacturing expenses. Even the options on the motor are modular, basically what size bore do you want in the cylinders? One apparently overlooked advantage for the owners in this move is that maintenance and aftermarket upgrading will be simplified. But in a way, the company sold it's soul with this move, as most of their line will now just be variations of the same model. This may come back to hurt the company in the long run, but time will tell. I remember the fuss back when the EVO motor came out and all the predictions for the end of the company back then. (Yeah, I'm that old, much older than that, too. I can remember when panheads were cut into choppers because there were a lot of cheap ones around. I'm practically ancient :D) I can see the possibility of the line being expanded again in the future if the market allows. They are having some teething pains right now, which is not unusual for a new engine and model of any vehicle. If you do buy a new (2018) Harley, avoid any model with a hydraulic clutch which IIRC is only on the big touring bikes at this point. They are having an issue with oil migration on those, and haven't found a fix yet. There are also reports of oil sumping issues on some M8 motors that have been aftermarket upgraded. In no way am I saying not to buy a Harley if you want one, just to be aware of the issues and know what to watch out for at the dealer.

Got a 2009 Dyna here, agree 100% on what you say... greetings from Brasil

Softails had the "B" motor of the Twin Cam. Dynas and Touring models shared the rubber mounted twin cams until the Milwaukee 8 came out and the dyna was nixed. Ride safe bro!

Man, I just found this channel and I love it! Keep on shining that light from 2 wheels, Brother!

My first harley was a 1948 police bike back in the 60's. I just bought a 1997 dyna wide glide and it seems like a decent bike. Not sure why they would drop the line.

I was just going to write " get gloves!" till you noticed it yourself. In my 30 years of motorcycle driving there where some stupid moments that I drove without a helmet( on a very hot Greek island ) but never ever without gloves. It's so important.

I just sold my Honda shadow 750 just today and used that money to go get myself a bike I been looking at for a while Originally was going to get an iron 883 but i wanted something with more power and 6 gears for highways So I got a 2007 Dyna superglide 👌🏼👌🏼

Okay okay I'm sold ! How much for that bike Preacher Man ?

I too believe that the Dyna will return.

2010 Dyna Street Bob FXDB - owned 8 years, starts everytime, never loses a drop of oil, fast enough :)

I have a 96 FXD and I love it! Take the toy away and bring the demand back. I could totally see Harley-Davidson using that marketing ploy.

Had Sportsters, Softtails and baggers, nothing beats a Dyna! Best all-around Harley for the money.

I have a 2004 FXDL and I love it, I also have FLTR the biggest problem with the Dyna is the single disk brake . Twice people pulled out in front of me and I couldn't stop and crashed. Four times people pulled in front of me and the dual disk brakes on the FLTR made the difference. I will keep my FXDL because it' feels like the road.

A dyna is my absolute dream bike. I have a Vulcan that barely works that is my only vehicle. But God willing one day I will have a dyna

It's funny that you mentioned the size. I've always considered the Dyna to be the grown man's version of the Sportster! (No offense Sportster riders. I have a 6 foot 4 bouncer friend who rides a Sportster because he likes the look).

Never in my entire life would I ever say this until watching your video; I WANT A DYNA! That true road, man and machine combination makes so much sense to me now. It’s pure. No rpm tach, fuel gauge, Neut light, face wind shield. Just you and the road dammmmm

The Softail line has the B motor which has a balancing unit in it. The B motor was designed to solid mount, the motor on the Dyna, the FX ( sportster) and the FL line is rubber mounted.

Just bought my 2nd Dyna, a 2016 Low Rider with 273 miles on it! I already have a 2013 Super Glide Custom and love it so much I immediately wanted another. Dyna is classic HD and I love the big twin shaking in the frame. Then you get it to speed and it smooths out like butter! I used to have a 2003 Fat Boy and didn’t like the “B” motor nearly as much. The Dyna is so much smoother at cruising speeds. Plus, what’s cooler than a Dyna? Also, love this guy in the vids, seems like a good dude and does a great job with the vids.

I have always loved the Dyna. Such a classic! So saddened when Harley dropped it

Traded my 2000 Sportster for a 08 Dyna Low a few yrs back. This is the deal. Spoked rims, 96ci and sitting low. It's a comfortable & cool ride.

if harley re introduced an fxr line. pfft. theyd make ALOT of money

My 95 Dyna Low RIder rocks. It has the best engine Harley ever built, The Evolution. Never been opened and runs perfectly. I figured out how to chop the neck on the boxy frame and put 43.5 degrees and 6" over forks on it (Has 4" of trail) and14" apes. It's engineered very well and looks badass and can still do a U-turn in 18 feet. Still wears it's 26 year old factory paint too in perfect condition.

Have a 2013 dyna superglide(fxdc)great bike,good power and good handling,really enjoy mine

I've had 3 dynas and I absolutely love them,I now have an 05 fxdi cruiser

Im rewatching some older vids with new appreciation since i upgraded to a new harley, anyway, i don’t wear gloves if all im doing is riding like you are. Its just an easy neighborhood stroll.

That is not a 2005. It is at least an '06 with the 49 mm forks and the battery cover being the visual cues. Keep up the good work and keep sharing the good news about Jesus Christ! God bless!

My first Harley was a 94 Sporty 1200 joved that bike, still got it actually. Bought my 2012Superglide about 7 years ago. At 5ft 5 it just fits me so much better than the Sporty 😊❤

Got a 2003 FXD, 2 years ago with 7k on it.. Was a clean slate and Ive been doing my thing to it ever since.. Last upgrade is on order. A matching rear wheel.. 18inch x3.5inch RC Components Mission Chrome. Got a 21inch x 3.5inch front on it and many things that I just wanted to do.. I love it and its my keeper. Had 4 HDs before this one, but this is the one. Just right for me..

Luv my 02 Super T,turns on a dime+stretch out on long trip. Carb+exhast tweaked perfect,tall padded sissybar,platform from passenger footpegs,saddlebags+Removed windshield ferring.

I own a 06 and it will be. Worth a lot more in years to come, so hang on to them people.

Don’t get me wrong I love the bikes but my favorite part about your videos is how you give a verse or 2 every time, it’s amazing!!

I think you are right. I loved my Street Bob. It was unique. As soon as I got my 883 (first Harley) I quickly realized everyone and their mothers had one. When I upgraded to the Street Bob (Dyna), I got compliments by everyone. Little old ladies would compliment it and then tell me to be careful because they had a son around my age. Had to get ride of my S.B. and I have to say I am not a fan of the new Softtail Street Bobs. I'll have to ride one and see if the ride is the same, but until then, my heart is set on a Sportster 48 Custom with mini-apes. Good video.

Sean, you mentioned after making the comment about the Harley "B" motor that somebody would offer a correction, so here it is. What you said about the Dyna, and your description of the "B" motor is exactly opposite. The Twin Cam engines which have now been replaced by the Milwaukee 8 had two variants. There was one engine which had a counter balancer and the other engine variant which did not. They were simply referred to Twin Cam and Twin Cam-B engines. In a nutshell the "B" engines where the bikes which had the counter balanced engines. Those engines were reserved for the Softail models. The non-counter balanced engines were reserved for the Dyna and the Touring family and were rubber mounted in the frame. So what you said about the Dyna is true in one sense...you certainly feel more vibration and can visually see the motor rocking in the rubber mounted frame, whereas the counter balanced motor is much smoother....and some might argue more refined as there is less vibration and no need for rubber motor mounts. Because of the "B" motor's counter balancers, they had a lower rpm than the non-B motors. Hope this gives you a better idea between the difference of the two. I agree with what you said in the video, the Dyna models are without a doubt the best riding bikes in the Harley family, next to the Touring models.

Hit the nail on the head, even if the Dyna comes back it won’t be the same. I traded my dyna for a 17 FXDLS last year because I want the classic feel of the bike, something the Milwaukee cannot replicate.

Love my 2011 Dyna Super Glide and will probably always keep it even if I do buy a touring bike

I miss the bikes with 103, 96, 88 and 110, new Milwaukee's just aren't the same. They go for sure but justvdontvhave the feeling. I had to get a dyna wide glide cause I'm tall. All baggers are so confined and small, cantvstretch

The dyna is the best lookin bike they ever had IMO.

I have a 2002 FXDL, that has the hot forged cranckshaft. It has a stage 4 kit, bigbore and stroker, 103ci and i shaved the weight down to 263kg fully fueled. With better the shocks this thing rides and handles like it should have from the start. Best handling Harley so far.

Anyone saying HD made a mistake dropping the Dyna line is nuts. Long runs of their lines mean that their new bikes compete against used bikes. They've got to have some bread and butter lines, but cancellation is what makes them desired. You wouldn't be thinking of Dyna right now if you could buy it off a showroom floor. With so many models, HD has a great opportunity to rotate lineups. I think they need to start capitalizing on that to give consumers a sense of urgency. With all the new bikes they have planned, I think you're going to see a lot of limited runs lasting a year or two on legacy models.

My dad got an ‘03 Dyna Low Rider and it is probably the best bike he’s ever had

I ride a 2011 Fat Bob and absolutely love the way it handles and performs.

Softail twin cam had the B motor, B for balance shafts. Dynas used the A motor, the same one used in the bagger. The A motors are rubber mounted to dampen vibrations, the Softail had a solid mounted engine which made the B or balance motor necessary.

Dang ! I love the look of the the Dyna. Are we fixing to see a repeat of the A.M.F year's deal.

I'm picking up my first DYNA. 2005 /53k, bobber w/apes, bags, other custom deets. Supposed to test ride tomorrow but snow expected.

I like it! Solo seat! The Bike and You! No room for a 3rd in that party! ☺

Super Glides are LIFE!

they probably dropped the Dyna line for a few years because they were made at the assembly plant here in Kansas City that closed down and relocated to York PA.

Rode My Dyna- Convert 70,000 miles. It came with leather bags and a windshield. I rode it to Harley's 100th B- Day in Milwaukee. I added baby apes and it was perfect fit for Me.

100% agree with this video! I would've purchased one if I could right now, 2 weeks out of my MSF, love that old-school look! I would buy one right now!

You're half right. Twin-Cam Softails had the "B" motor, which had Mitsubishi style balance shafts. It was introduced in 2000 a year after the Dyna and Touring Twin Cams, which were rubber mounted.

Had an 03 883r I loved because I felt like I was riding a motorcycle, vibration,you could feel the mechanical nature of it. Traded for an flh. Hated it, too heavy, had no rider/machine feel to it. traded it for a 14 low rider. couldn't be happier.

The fact you have a Honda rune is 10/10 cool. I also have one. Not many do.

I rode an FXLR and my buddy rode a dyna both low riders they were fun to ride fast but when I had to ride his bike it wasn’t even close to the FXLR the FXR platform was definitely better. It’s sad to see it gone

When I was a kid I use to travel a lot of times. I would see all the bikers at Gila Bend and I have had the thought of wow! I wanna be like them when I grow up. I'm 24 and got my motorcycle and I love the cruiser bikes

Whitch i never had one befor but looking forward to getting one if i can pass the motorcycle test and getting my license

I have a 2008 rocker C. It has the "B" motor. The B is for the balanced motor. Its designed to reduce vibration and be smoother than the typical uneven harley motor. Both are great motors. Just different

Dyna's are nice but there is a huge used market. So why by new? Plus Harley made huge improvements to its touring line. Street glides can do everything a dyna can do so can a road glide. I have a 2015 road glide . i was torn when i was looking for a bike i love the dyna . i took my time i shopped around and went with the road glide because im 6 foot 8 and it fit the best but was very agile . i rarely cruise when i ride. I like to mob hard and fast i like to corner the road glide and street glide can do everything a dyna does. Even wheelie. I beat my bike and i love it and it loves me back the only flaw i found that was a true factory flaw was the shifter linkage it gave out out me when i was far from home in the mountains. I shifted with my hand manually all the way home i ordered upgraded linkage it works great. I did find multiple bolts that should have had locktite on them no big deal and the chrome on all the exhaust components was very cheesy. I think Harley almost does this on purpose to upsell after market exhaust. When buying your first new bike don't be tempted at the dealer to upgrade things through them. Take your bike home ride it learn it service it yourself . break it in hard do not baby the bike. Order parts online and install them yourself . this helps you learn your bike. Get a second opionion if its a huge project but most bolt on upgrades can be done at home by yourself with basic tools. You will save money and learn your bike. Ive owned many bikes my road glide was my first new bike ever. Ill keep it forever. If i break it ill fix it. If the electronics fail ill upgrade. If your over 6 ft and you ride more than 50 miles on average look at street glides or road glides. You will not regret it. The comfort handling and nimble behavior of those two bikes is easily equal to a dyna.

Kinda true. I remember they discontinued Twinkies and people flipped - even the people that didn't eat them were pissed because they had been around so long. I think Ford is bringing back the Ranger too.

Ive thought the same thing. There’s no way they’re gone forever. The hype is already noticeable since they’ve stopped, people talk about the Low Rider S like it’s already a collectors edition. Hopefully they bring it back in a few years when I’m ready to move up from my sporty.

Dynas we’re cool, but incorporating the models into the Softail line was a smart move much better riding and better style now.

i have a 91 50th aniversary dyna glide. number 422 outa 1700. 80 in. evo. carburated. one of a kind bike. ill never get rid of it. all original 16k miles

I like the Single exhaust pipe.. imo that also looks cleaner in a way.

I don't like Harleys (tractors) but I like the sound & looks of this Dyna super glide

Yes those motors are not balanced but they are rubber mounted like the touring bikes. The softail motors are balanced but rigid mounted to frame.

The Dyna Family of motorcycles was the best design that Harley every built, IMHO. Compact, reasonably priced, an entire world of accessories available from Harley not to mention the Aftermarket. Cannot go wrong with a Dyna. By the way, "A" motor is unbalanced. "B" motor is balanced for the Softtail.

I have one of those that year, same exact color.I bought it repoed in 06 with 3100 on it for 10 grand. But It had every thing on it. Bags, luggage rack, tail light ext kit, engine guard, detachable wind shield. I will never get rid of it.

I helped take apart twincam B bottom end today. It has 2 huge counterbalancers driven by what looks like a 1971 Honda CB350 camchain. The B motor is in the Softails.

I really miss my carbed 2002 dyna wide glide

No. The Twin Cam "B" engine has a balance shaft and is solidly mounted. The Dyna twin cam engine is rubber mounted. So you have it ass backwards. All reports indicate that the new Softails with the 107 and 114 engines are better in every way. They're even lighter.

dyna was one the most customizable bikes !!!!!!!

“Riding motorcycles is not a team sport”.......my favorite quote.......

and joshua's triumph was heard throughout the land !

Lot of folks don’t have the line of sight and timing down when that lefty turn comes up with that front rake sticking out a Lil bit

A motor in the dyna. U balanced. B motor in the softail. Balanaced. And its not unbalalnced crankshafts. They are either counter weighted or in counter weighted

Have a 96 Dyna and love it! Nice video

I have bought and sold many bikes, but I will never ever sell my Dyna 103 twin cam. It is a time capsule to the apex analog era for Harley.

Jesus rode a Dyna!!!

Halfway into the video and not one word about why HD dropped the Dyna

Another great video! The "b" motor is the balanced softail motor. But , yes the Dyna's have the unbalanced motor. Just bought a 2017 Fat Bob, the last year of the 103 unbalance Dyna. Thanks again

Even though it's my first bike, I down right love my '06 Low Rider. No Regrets, and tons of fun as a Stage I w/t PC-V. Even though I'm plenty used too it, I test rode a 2016 Street Glide, and totally shocked, it was a tad easier to throw around than my Dyna. Street Glide is my next bike, but I'm not getting rid of my Dyna!

I was "that guy" in 1973 when I bought my first Harley Davidson Super Glide FX.

Dyna is my Favorite and only Harley....Gotta get To your shop and Buy 2 bikes.. out grew my kawa 454..dads 750ace is ok but He needs More Gears....see you guys this Summer...We need a Harley in our collection..Mabe 2😎

The "B" motor is in the Rigid mounted SOFTAILS ONLY !!! the Dyna has a "A" motor and is Rubber Mounted, and the "B" stands for Balanced, because the Softail motor the "B" has a counter balancer to take away some of the vibration

I think an updated M8 version of the Sportster line is in the works. This would fill that market. Just making this up as I go.

If they bring up the Dyna Glide they need to bring back the Sturgis Model.

I love my 05 Dyna low rider . Stay blessed brother .

I was led to believe the B motor was BALANCED!

your right just a little bigger than a sports ter makes a biggy difference with two people

Hey Shawn, I'm sure somebody told you the B in B motor stands for Balanced which is only available in the softail line.

I have a 06 bought it new nice bike runs and handles great!

problem is they don’t have the “mold” the completely changed the softail frame to fit the new milwaukee 8. i think they were having problems fitting that beast of a motor into a dyna frame. hopefully they figure it out and it comes back!
