little bit of a learning curve as the lean angle is a lot less ! I have scraped my pipes on every sweet curve I've been in. The sound of an exhaust dragging on the tar makes me pee a little bit. Like fingers on a damn chalkboard.
getting used to it, and wouldn't trade it for a different beast if I could !

ok so I can't not lean lol

SB is the bare bones of the dyna. Mids vs forwards. It's really personal preference. I'm 5'10 and I prefer mids. I'm not tall enough to feel comfortable with forwards (I'm also used to riding sportbikes and racing). I also wanted less rake and a bare bones dyna so I can slowly strip it down and spend my 2nd mortgage going broke making it pretty.

The responses will be called "opinions"

I had a sb and my buddy had a wg at the same time. My sb had forward controls. I felt they handled about he same, the sb alittle quicker. He was running a little larger front tire on the wg. The sb is a better blank slate.
