Thanks Fellas. This bike has upgraded brakes, motor, and suspension and it is my 1st FXR so I can't speak for all but over all it is much more nimble and fun to ride than the Dyna. The FXR seems to put the power to the ground much better as well. But the twin cam 6 speed is much smoother and better on the HWY.

I agree with u on the 6 speed being smother,but I like the lower gearing with the 5 speed. I did the Andrews 30 tooth power pulley on my 6 speed now it feels like the 5 with an extra gear. But the 5 definitely takes a firm foot!
