Why not just buy a springer and put it on a dyna? I highly doubt the MoCo will build a bike just cuz you wrote them a letter....

While you're at it, see if they can slide a springer front end on a new Road Glide. It might sell.

Exposed springs in front & exposed springs in back?
It would look like a rocking horse.

Because I don't have a dyna

Maybe the letter could get them to be a little creative .

They could fix that very easily with chrome covers over the rear shocks.

Factory never made one and the Dyna is a lot like the old FXR's they are made for a lot of front end travel , it's why the bikes handle so well . Slap a springer on one it may look good sitting still but the ride will go to **** unless you slam the rear , then why bother just get a hardtail .
