Did the Road King thing for a while but it turned me into an old man.

For me it's got to be the Dyna for the handling, rubber mounted engine & looks.

The Dyna forwards are really far forward though, further than a softail but that's another plus for me being 6'5"
If it's a major issue for you look at aftermarket forwards, my SJP Engineering forwards aren't as stretched out as the Harley ones.

I love the styling cues of the Deluxe ... have adapted a lot of it to my Super Glide ....

Think you will like the Dyna if you end up taking the plunge ....

They are pretty much different.

Springer has a softer ***, and springer has alot more play.

Streetbob has a tighter front end, and a harder ***.

Streetbob performance with better drive train and less weight is better for winding roads and hitting the ton.

Bob is just plain old fun.

It discusses part numbers and where to get them ... a couple of photos ...
