Lots of responses mentioned Switchback. You mentioned a question 'bout front end of a Dyna being perhaps not beefy enough. The 41 or 43 MM forks on them are real good.

Right... or you could just buy a Vulcan or something like that.

Thanks. I didn't even know that Harley made anything like that. I don't keep up much with what's going on as far as new stuff is concerned. I'll have to check into it.

Why doncha try an FXDF with a windshield? I drove one 80+ miles each way daily to work in some of the most congested roads in New Jersey in all weather (except snow/freezing rain) for over a year.

Are these factory options or aftermarket? What size comes on the Dyna bikes standard?

Thanks
