I'm wondering about the look of a 700 lb harley going throught the woods and taking air over some branches or a gully! LOL sorry man i would never even think about it unless I cared nothing for my harley.

Be aware of the handling characteristics of the tires. Dual sport tires are made for lighters bikes. I put on a sport touring crotch rocket tire in the rear and even though my bike was well within its weight rating I would get this extreme death wobble over 60mph. As soon as the tires got warm I couldn't keep the bike straight.

The only time I have ever seen a Dyna on a dirt trail was with a highly intoxicated owner.

Most trails that a Dyna can handle can be done with the stock tires.
