Although I think their ugly I bet the Dyna cop bikes are comfortable.That big sprung seat,floorboards,and windshield.Looks like something off MadMax.
Yeah Bub, I have to agree that they look "funky". I'd like to strangle the dude that designed the weird looking saddlebags. LOLbub said:Although I think their ugly I bet the Dyna cop bikes are comfortable.That big sprung seat,floorboards,and windshield.Looks like something off MadMax.![]()

It all depends on what your personal requirements for touring are. Just like camping, some folks are happy with a only sleeping bag under the stars, others have to have the air-conditioned Winnebago.
Every article I've read and everyone I've talked to all said the fairing on the FXDXT is about worthless.Everyone said regardless of adjustment they get too much wind buffeting. This is the same problem I've had with every windshield I've tried on my FXD. I wonder if it is something with the bikes that causes this? Maybe it's the distance the rider sits from the windshield.I never had this problem when I was riding rice.It seems that H.D.'s are stretched out more than the other manufacturers.Just an idea.Boismier said:IMHO, you can tour on just about anything.

Groucho, I hear the award ceremony is going to be at your house,,,,,everyone is invited and all the beer you can drink! Count me in to!GROUCHO said:Call me crazy...But I heard there is an award ceremony and a wood plaque for 100 posts...If it's true...count me in !
It works great. The adjustable suspension and dual front discs are EXACTLY why I got the FXDX! I've been playing with the front end, and haven't had any dive on hard braking. The ride's a bit rough in front, so I need to dial in a little more, but Indian summer is fading fast around here.FifthGear said:
How is that adjustable front suspension working out on your FXDXT? Have you played with the settings any?

I think a Dyna is a compromise for touring also. But it does a fine job.
All it takes is money ... Part # 54723-00, $539.99 ... ;-)FifthGear said:
Boismier, I've heard good things from others about the FXDXT's adjustable forks. Can't find anyone so far that doesn't like them. Wish I had them.

'course then you'll want the second front disc brake and the adjustable rear shocks .... and you know, the T-Sport seat is pretty nice too ... ;-)
sammy, you won't find it hard to find someone to agree with you here. I've ridden most models. Sometimes ya just like what ya like. I love my Dyna.slamin sammy said:i have 19976 miles on my 99 dyna it took my wife and me to Sturgis and back 2 years ago. we ride as much as we can in the summer, i rode a friend of mines bagger it was nice, but when you can manuver a dyna around you can't beat it . i believe you can ride to the end of the earth on a dyna. iif i buy a new one it will be a 2003 fxd.
