Default Dyna with a Balanced Motor?

How about one of Dyna Family with a balanced motor? Lets rally up and have HD to make one for us.

Why? I like the way my Low Rider shakes at a stop light. Besides, it irritates the guys on metrics, which makes it more fun.

I am not a fan of the softails because of the balanced motor, love my dyna for the shake and smoothness when riding,

There is a trade off with the balanced motor, usually less powerful.

Softail B motor shakes more at higher rpm, don't you know?
Unless you sit at the traffic more than highway. Not me

BINGO!
and that should be all that matters. You can still upgrade the B engines but you can push them less.

Amen to all that's been written. One of several reasons I'm not a fan of the softails.

I wish they made a Twin Cam Softail that didn't have a balanced motor.

Yeah, I'll pass, thanks. Heavy, less power and shouldn't be revved over 6200.
