The CCE isn't anywhere near the the first in this forum to think that a twin shock, non-bagger big twin Harley is a dyna. Doesn't make it right, of course.
And that's still my all time favorite stock from the factory HD.
I always liked that stance that the FXDWG had. I never cared for the blacked out look on any bike though. My 76 FLH evolved into an FXWG stance. It's an odd duck but I like it.
Many years later when I got a good deal on a dinged up 2003 FXDWG I snatched it up too.

The post was not made by a member, but the supposed editor of a HD forum. They should at least have a clue.
"Most" Wide Glides are Dyna's, I'm glad to see it.
Very good point. In the old days Harley had one frame for all the Big Twins, so they basically only had two lines, the Sportsters on one frame and the Big Twins on the other, so the baggers as well as the stripped down models like the Superglide all were built on the same frame. For instance, that 1980 Wideglide pictured above was built on the same frame as a 1980 Electra Glide. In the early '80's they changed that with one frame for the baggers, the FXR frame for the bikes like the Superglide and the Lowrider, and the introduction of the softail frame.
In the early '90's they replaced the FXR frame with the Dyna frame. The Dyna was cheaper to produce than the FXR plus lots of the Harley customer base said that the FXR looked "too Japanese."

The 1980 FXWG Wide Glide was On Fire
