tell me what you think and why (this will be interesting)

Ok I am a Harley master tech have been working on Harleys for over 20 years i have been riding for more then 30 years and my first Harley was a FXE custom with a wide glide front end and a 21 inch wheel and tire i have owned a 02 heritage and i liked it alot specialy after i stripped the saddle bags sissy bar off it but i think the main thing i liked about it was the widder 16 inch front wheel and tire it seemed to handle the road alot better so when i sold it and bought my next bike I wanted a glide being a Harley tech i ride them all and knew the dynas handled alot better and are far more nimble but i had my own ideas to improove it so i picked up an 05FXDI first thing i did was stripped the dyna front end off of it and fitted it with a fatboy front end complete with a 16 inch wheel and tire and detachable windshield then i put forward controls on it and next it was time for some performance upgrades i went with a 2 into 1 thunder header wrapped it up then added a high flow air cleaner and 203 cams and a DFO fuel optimyser the bike is still 88cubic inches and reliable as can be but it's pushing 84 horse and 89 footpounds of torque and you want to talk about handleing i can scrape my pegs in the corners when ever i feel the need it handles the twisted roads like a sport bike but it dont bother me a bit to load it up and put 500miles on it with out a pain anywhere you cant beat a dyna when it comes to handleing the road

Well let's see if I can get some of the old school airheads upset and throw out the vrsca(V-rod).
I have an 06 and do everything from daily commute to work to 14hr trip back from redwood run.
You do need to get rid of stock exhaust to make it sound respectable.

Agree with you, Roxie! Heritage Softail all the way!

Bagger

i ride a dyna that i lowered 9.5". i like my bike stripped down. it handles good . i can almost sit still and stay upright with no feet..,

Why not both.. I like both ,I just got an 08 dyna, I have put lots of miles on it already. I like the rubber mount motor, the handling of the bike, and the look of the bike (it'll look even better when I get done F'n with it). The heritage is what it is a classic looking softail. Rides good, runs good, looks good. The both have their place.

Neither....hard tail for me.

i often heard metric riders say that harleys wont corner worth a flip but my dyna has proved them wrong when i went riding with them. so i'll have to vote dyna!!

lily.. if the dyna's vibrating.. you're going too slow

as a passenger...I prefer the heritage hands down for the long haul...for getting cozy and goign close with my friend I like the vibration of the dyna...LOL

Road King...King of the Road

Dyna for me a bit bigger than a sporty but still a bike that be riden like a sporty

heritage softail has my vote!

Kinda funny, the ones who have a Dyna vote for a dyna, the softail owners veot for the softail. Bet if the E-glide/Roadking owners would vote for what they have.

You hang out with who???

I hang out with the yello ball IM an angel_n_cognito most of the time, add 03 all together and see what you get !

I have an 02 FXDWG and an 05 FLSTCI. The Dyna I took cross-country in 02 and traveled 18,000 on it that summer and to Sturgis in 04. I wanted something a little more comfortable for long rides, but don't feel old enough for the Road Kings yet, so I bought an 05 Heritage Softail. Last year I took the Heritage to Rolling Thunder in DC and Sturgis. I love both bikes, but I have to say,I like the Heritage Softail for the long rides, but for day rides and bar hopping, I like the Dyna.

well... I have done 3300 miles from May 15-22 going to, riding around, and going home from myrtle beach and another 1400 miles this weekend for Rolling Thunder... all on my dyna... in bad weather and good; dark and lite... when/if me and that amazing bike part ways we won't owe each other anything... I hope you guys are thinkin the same about whatever you are ridin... I don't think I'm much of a biker... but I sure do like to ride... and that dyna is right up my alley... oh ya.

Spent the whole day riding yesterday...gotta love that wideglide!!!
