Yeah that sucks...
I will admit though, I have trouble identifying all the different types of Harleys.
One of you guys that can tell the difference should make us a cheat sheet.
Like what the difference between a Super Glide and a Wide Glide? Road Glide vs Street Glide? Sportster vs Dyna? lol
It's not as easy as telling the difference between a Grand Am, Corvette, Blazer and Caprice...lol

ADD:
I was looking at Softail models the other day. Some of them, the only difference I could tell between them is the tank badges and the handle bars.

There are a lot of similarities between your dyna and and my sporty. Mainly the speedo, headlight eyebrow and even the tank decal. I'd be able to tell the difference in a heartbeat but i can see how an unseasoned Harley expect would confuse the two. Here's a pic of my sporty for comparison.

That tank is a dead giveaway.

I work at Advance Auto Parts and whenever I park my bike out front people come in and ask, "Who's that sportster out there?" I tell them its mine and its not a sportster...
I've had a few older guys actually argue with me over it.
At first I didnt mind because I figured it was just the ignorant showing their knowledge, but then it happened over and over. Just bugs me.
Anyone else have this problem?
Heres a pic; since this was taken I've added a sissybar.
And this was taken last week.
Obviously not a sportster.
