I’ve still got the 03’ 100th anniversary FXDX that I bought brand new in 2003. 650 lbs I believe . I tried an FXR because I heard it was superior , it was too small for me. I’ve twisted 2 or 3 cranks in my FXDX . As it sits now it’s 95” 10:1 comp, with S&S gear drive cams and 06 heads. Backed with a Barnett scorpion clutch. Love my sport, I might take it to my grave.
Dude I just stumbled across this video.... and had to hit sub button, I'm from just south of the "land"... bought my first bike in 30yrs out at Fairport '09 Super glide custom and completed the stage 1 this summer.... more upgrades to come this winter!
Fairport harbor has some great prices and good bikes! They are easy to deal with and always get great inventory. Find me on instagram and send me some pictures!
I bought a 77 superglide back in 1983 down in phoenix I burned the desert roads up on that thing, Even ripped thru L.A. something I had dreamed of doin growin up in central illinois during the cold winter months hunkered down with Easyrider mags and Bob Seger tunes and columbian dirt weed. I paid 3400 bucks for that bike and made a million bucks worth of memories. Im down to a 81 heritage a 83 fxwg and a 13 ultra classic now and I wish I still had that ol super glide what a life man! Stay safe n sane bro
I Loved my dynas. That being said the FXR is truly the best hike harley ever made. Picked up an 83 5 speed shovelhead and it's now my daily rider. Light agile an just fun to ride.
@@0hi0hdmc man I've got a streetglide an the fxr. Both have they're trade offs but both are fantastic rides. The cool thing about the FXR with a little cash an know how you can but a twincam or M8 on it an keep rocking that bad boy for years to come.
05 Superglide here, what an awesome bike, I love the 88, I have a Freedom Performance Exhaust System & a Cobra 2000 Fuel Enhancer & this bike hauls ass, you’re right, they’re great bikes!
I bought a 2005 Super Glide custom with a carburetor new at New Orleans Harley. I have enjoyed riding that bike. Put Vance & Hines shorty’s and have replaced the cam tensioners. Other than that regular maintenance and tires. Love the ride and feel of this bike, 650lbs, no wobble, no worries. Keep the videos coming.
I have an 01 FXDX. I installed SE cam chest and high flow oil pump, S&S .510 cams, inner bearings, K&N, Supertrapp 2:1, Mikuni 42 mm carb, fork brace, Jagg oil cooler, S & S gear drive for cams and mustangs seat. Doing 95" kit with heads soon
I just came across your channel. I'm happy to support you and other fellow motovloggers and I look forward to seeing and hearing more from your channel. Keep up the great work, best of luck and ride safe out there ...
@@Calvinmob681 same! I feel like the fxdx was the pinnacle for Harley. How unfortunately it’s the Softail Lowrider s. But I hope they will bring back the fxdx platform since it handled better than my Softail does.
I thought my ‘71FX weighed in at around 650 lbs, she is a balanced and blueprinted S&S 93 c.i. 4 1/2” stroker dual plugged flowbranched heads from a “72 bathtub chambered heads tricked out. Cradled in an atlas pro-magnum softail frame mated to a legend air ride and Ceriani inverted fork, a Baker 6 speed torque box with Baker primary loaded up with a King Kong clutch. I am trying to get her running soon to catch saddle time this summer here in Alaska.😎
😆 sounds like a well tuned machine for sure! I have been looking into a trip to Alaska! You have the most beautiful country but such a limited window to enjoy it!
I am an EVO guy, 2 1998s Ultra and Heritage Springer, both stock bikes and you better believe I love them. I finally did cave and bought a 2005 Dyna, mainly because of the Springer front end. When I just want to go out for a rip I ride the Dyna.
I had a super glide sport in 2000 new. To be honest I didn’t ride it a lot but I thought it was a fantastic looking bike was everything I thought a Harley club bike should be. I still look at the sports style dyna, and think wow that’s beautiful. I was pestered by a friend to sell it, and i did Jumpin forward to 2016 id tried a lot of Japanese super cruises M109. M1800R Yamaha 1900 and decided to buy a new DYNA street Bob. Because it seemed to be the latest Incarnation of the super glide sport. It didn’t disappoint it was totally blacked out. And came with fork like tree trunks and had ABS a full keyless and coded security system. Led lights turn signals brake lights and hazards and stop light I fitted a new exhaust and filter and a ecm and it was fast. Very fast. And it handles new Lowrider s shocks and a lowering cartridge kit in the forks a set of brakeout floating disc F&R. And Lowrider s bars and risers. To tell the truth I’ve never stopped improving it and giving Harley more money since I bought it. But I genuinely think the street Bob and low rider s. And possibly the Fatbob are the best and the last of the real Harley’s. I’ve no problem with the super glide sport. I’ll end up buying another. Or the Fxr just the late DYNA s do everything better and are still a proper Harley with 6 speed. So I’d say the street Bob is the best Harley ever produced. Because it does everything better that the 20 year old predecessors. Good blog good topic. And I know all the die hards will disagree but. Your wrong. I’ve owned both.
I had a 2007 streetbob and loved it! My low rider s is a bike that I will take to the grave for sure. I love the fxdx because it is simple and stripped down but wish it had a 6 speed for sure. On all 5 speed bikes I keep reaching for another gear on the highway for sure. I am a fan of the newer model street bob / fat bobs / low rider bikes!
@@0hi0hdmc I bought a dyna Lowrider s My self. So I think you must get my point I jump it over humpback bridges I get about four foot of air at least I think so the tyres are about the same hight has the peoples face’s in the cars I pass I drift it around roundabouts. And ride it the same has my super moto. I’m a race technician that means I work on race bike at top level races and pit crew I’ve raced motocross enduro grass track and super sport and super bike I even tried drag racing a long time ago. So I’m not a Harley guy. But I love my Harley. Not interested in a soft tail,s I’ll sick to my Harley DYNA for life. But never say never a few of those new Harley’s look superb but I’d always keep the dyna and just for the record I’ve never come across anyone who rides a Harley has hard has I do. And I’ve never once had a speed wobble. Death wobble or head shake. And coming home from my bike club every Wednesday night I come off the freeway flat out. Down the off ramp flat out the las 80/100 yards I touch the brake let them off drop some gears and open the throttle full and drift around a hard right hand turn and just keep the throttle wide open. So if I don’t get this wobble maybe it’s a slow thing. Because it ride hard I have to load the front end to plant it into corners then full throttle around the corner. It works I’ve embarrassed a lot of superbikes and friends who are racers I also ride super bikes. A fireblade and a Ducati Diavel. With the low centre of gravity the Harley corners better. Not a Harley fan but love mine. Hey thanks for the reply. You know a million time more about Harley’s. So don’t listen to me. What do I know. Take care.

I have a 1999 nighttrain evo...and i hardly rode it for the first 5 years....i forgot i even owned it for a couple years while sitting in the garage under a cover....then one day my buddy came over with his 2000 twin cam nighttrain...and begged me to start my 99 evo up...and now i ride it more than ever...and brought an 02 nighttrain as a backup😂
The evo nighttrain is rare...ive seen two on the road....and many twin cams of course...which is why i had to have one....i love that "thief in the night" look😂
Best? Everyone has an opinion. My first Harley ever was a Diamond Ice 99 that crapped a cam bearing at 5000 miles, spreading evil metal everywhere and I got rid of it. It was so bad it wouldn’t run under 2k rpm. Fortunately it was under warranty and the owner of the dealer -Bob DeHaven at Patriot H.D. loaned me his Road King Demo until it was fixed. The good old days. The bike itself was fun, nimble, and quick. I changed the handlebars, added a windshield, forward controls and was much happier.
Definitely understand that feeling! I have a street 500 sitting in my garage that I bought for my wife. Been sitting there not running for three years. Got sick of fixing it so I got her a sporty and called it a day. Seems there are lemons in all categories! Glad you got to enjoy yours though
I have 4 concerns with FXDX: key ignition switch location behind riders right side is terrible location for ease of use! Top tank trim center piece has rubber backing for protecting the tank. That backing rubber pulles out of it metal edge, making tank top look cheesey! T-bars are too short requiring higher replacement bars! Black engine coating is pealing, esp under carburetor! Cam chain tensioners replacement problems!
I'm not sure if it was the best. I do know my 99 FXDX is the only bike I wish I never sold. Bone stock with only a screaming eagle carb kit it was very enjoyable.
I keep wishing they would release a new fxr! I love the fxr frame it was built like a tank and the electrical was way better! That being said, if they make new fxr with a 114 or 117 I think they will sell millions!

Hi, I’m a mature rider, 70+, and always said that my last bike will be a Harley.
What are your thoughts of the FXDC?
I’ve seen one, ‘97 model with 44k miles.
Upgrades inc S&S oil pump, lifters,cam gears.
Mikuni carb
Screaming eagle pipes
Sold rear wheel.
Your advice would be appreciated.

Yeah only one I regret selling. But I found this one and it’s a lot of fun
I purchased my ‘71 FX used in ‘72 for 1,500 dollars. New for ‘72 were only 2,100 bucks
If I could take my money and go back in time I’d own em all! Now with inflation and interest rates makes it harder!
It's about the Rake , trailing forks . Changed in 2006 .
The 2020 fxlrs rake is what sold me on the bike! Wish more people understood the importance of those measurements with the feel of the ride!
Have 1999 fxdx sgsp everything upgraded end to end built out top end stock lower also will take to grave

The 1200 sportster is the replacement for displacement lol
Fast and fun. My wife has a 48

I’ve had both the FXDX and FXR’s, for me the FXR’s were hands-down better. Both were great bikes though
Hell yeah, the fxr feels like a tank
FXDX guys “ThIs Is ThE bEsT hARlEy EvEr MaDe…” as an 80’s FXR passes them in a corner.😂😂😂
Truth
Eleven grand for a 2002 with 44000 miles on it is wayyyyyy to much money. Dealer was probably smokin some crack
Had proabably 4000-5000$ into the engine.
The best motorcycle ever… is clearly subjective
Yes it is! That’s what I love about two wheels. Each bike has its own personality
The fxrs sport was a way better bike then the dynas were but aside from that the fxdx was good bike.
I keep wishing they would release a new fxr! I love the fxr frame it was built like a tank and the electrical was way better! That being said, if they make new fxr with a 114 or 117 I think they will sell millions!
Negative brother. The FXDLS is the best dyna ever made. Nice try little dude.
I had a 93 lowrider and loved it! Just didn’t have the upgraded front suspension
great video! i subscribed! >from n.w.Ga. riding '95 roadking
As long as your on two wheels, your on the best bike!
