I may not have the comfort of the bagger but my friends can't do this in 2 minutes.

 

I got the same comments when I bought my sportster and then again when I bought my Dyna in all reality isnt the dyna a stripped down version of a bagger lets see similar wheelbase, same motor, outboard shocks. Ok lets just add detachable windshield and Bags wow sport tourer, Floor boards are easy and for almost 20-30% less

Nope. Completely different frame, different suspension, different gearing, different seating position, different shocks, etc, etc, etc.

Both are great bikes (which is why I have one of each) but they definitely aren't interchangeable. You can no sooner make a bagger out of a dyna than you can a dyna out of an Electra Glide. Sure you can add or remove bags and boards but they're still very different bikes.

 

Wonka, that's exactly what I tell em. I'm not old enough for a windshield and bags! I don't want a cup holder and radio, arm rests, and heated seats... lol maybe in a few years I'll change my mind.

 

Exactly, I dont tour most of them dont either for the longest trip I take a duffel bag and a few bungee cords will do. My brother who is 20 years older than me (he is 51) has been riding HD since the seventies said 30 years ago he would have never owned a bike with a windshield now he cant be without one. He sometimes asks aren't you about old enough for a papaw bike, no not yet. I have been around bikes for all my life, rode most makes and models, wrenched on most makes and models, worked at a bike shop for the past 4 years I think I am capable of choosing the right bike for me.

 

lol i'm 59yrs old, I ride a dyna fxdc. I put detachable windshield, sissybar, saddlebags and a tallboy seat on it. All i need is a luggage and i ready to tour. it takes me what 5 minutes to strip in down to a stock dyna. yea i love the looks of the RK, do i see one in the future/, onlyif the wife get tired of sitting on my dyna lol. you don't need a BIG bike to tour it's all hype, yea it more comfortable but you can tour on any thing (see picture) 1973 just outside grand canyon.

 

well your 31, you should be asking them why they feel you should be riding a geezer glide at 31.... so, I would mention "I'm 31 not 71"....LOL.

 

I'm 66. Owning a geezer glide has never entered my mind. No one in my crowd has ever mentioned anything bad about my scoot. They know I would kick their ***.

 

I'm 72 and no one has ever suggested a bagger to me. If I WANTED one, I would buy one. (Age isn't really the issue). I prefer the performance and handling of the Dyna.

 

There just pissed about how much less you paid for your Dyna and its a fruitless attempt to relieve their buyers remorse.
