Heres my version of a Sport touring road carving dyna....
I guess you can call it a FXDCT.
A work in progress just installed the Intiminators in the front end and found out I had the works progessive spring in there....
Next will be shocks and then the Sputh engineering set up.

I'm in the same process right now. I started with the FXDX though so have a little but better suspension ans braking to start with. Since my signature pic, I have changed the seat to a Mustang vintage wide 2-up, changed the backrest pad to match the seat, purchased Saddlemen crus'n bags for there plain look(no buckles) added a small slipstreamer mini police windshield and am in the process of changing the bars and risers. I'm adding a stock looking black 1.7" riser and chrome Nightrod special bars. I may also change out the windshield to a Rifle roadster with either the 15" or 18" shield. It kind of looks like the T-sport one.

Are the bags on QD mounts or rigid? Could you post a shot straight on from the back?

Lol, funny.


The only additional thing that I plan to do is a two-into-one exhaust that I am custom fabricating.

Stuff on the windshield is purely functional. Radar led and speedo in line of sight is very helpful if you ride a lot, long distances and in the fashion this bike begs.

About 5000 miles on this set-up now and all is working very very well.

VERY nice leafman! I really wish Harley would reintroduce the Dyna Glide Sport because it could be much better than the previous one like I have. I can just imaging how nice it'd be with the frame improvements, 103 engine, stouter forks, and Brembo's! Short of them bringing the Sport back I would do just what you have done, lift it up and improve the suspension and brakes. In fact I'm saving your link for reference just in case. The only thing I would possibly do different is the bags. Your painted hard bags do look nice but I like the detachable Boss Bags too.
