I have the same Dyna WG and love it! I've redone pretty much everything on mine at this point but if I can make a suggestion, replace that stock rear suspension and get new front springs. Doing so will make it ride so much better! So worth it!

[@hs7382]

That sound brought smile on my face. 3:13

[@MorsTyrannis]

The major difference is the frame the bikes are built on, Dyna frames aren’t made anymore. Everything is now built on a softail frame.

[@omaranchondo8609]

I just bought my 2013 with 1,200 miles I got a steal and transitioned from an R1 to Harley and I don’t regret it at all

[@jiev]

my dad is a motorcycle mechanic and he loved that Harley! 😤😤😤

[@danrockwell1883]

Jorge Estrada great bike!

[@RichardGarcia-g9s]

I’d like to see a follow up long term review, because I too am looking to switch from street bikes to harleys

[@danrockwell1883]

I sold it years ago but I had more fun riding street bikes, I only had this for a few months tho, probably have to get used to it

[@didierlevy4268]

Nice bike indeed ! Almost bought one 5 years ago ... The Wide Glide also displays a 21 inches front wheel and therefore a more inclined fork compared to other Dynas... I finally bought a Softail Blackline very similar in shape except for the hidden horizontal shocks and the distinctive horse-shoe oil tank under the seat... Ride/stay safe

[@orangenerator]

Isn't there a small shock under the seat of most hardtails? Does that not count as suspension?

[@Itsjake908]

Can’t find any more videos of it on your channel

[@danrockwell1883]

Sold it for my home renovation unfortunately

[@MrPAULONEAL]

I thought about getting a wide glide but my legs are too short to reach the controls.

[@frankhubbardiv8711]

I have a 26"(really short legs, but very long torso inseam and I could reach fine?

[@mikesideburns9791]

I am very close to buying a new (used) Dyna. I hope I get as good of deal as you! Nice bike

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Nice! Sounds like you got a smoking deal! Congrats on the new ride, bro!

[@danrockwell1883]

Jon's Moto Garage appreciate it brotha! 🙏🏼 excited to ride n learn more about Harley’s

[@mitch6969123]

Nice bike. Wide glide also has more rake to it I believe, that’s like a 32, 34 rake, the angle to the forks.

[@danrockwell1883]

Thanks Jason good info!

[@shellebelleslifestyle7431]

Congrats on the purchase. She looks gorgeous and matches the Jeep well 😃

[@RollingRigTraction]

That is a pretty machine. Just got my first HD and it's a '94 Evo Dyna Wide Glide. I rode one Softail and the ride was like riding on a cloud, I really wanted a Softail but couldn't pass up this Dyna for the condition and price, plus it was less than a mile from home.

[@danrockwell1883]

NICE

[@Ed-sq7jm7]

Nice bike bro! Have a Dyna Fat Bob with same pipes, all blacked out. Love it! Yours looks badass

[@danrockwell1883]

Thank you!

[@MechanicalSnail]

Does anyone know what seat that is?

[@tokyomonsoon8432]

Quick question: During you’re annual training did you have access to a gym?

[@danrockwell1883]

Gerald Dudley depends. If we were in the field no but otherwise normally yes. My unit was very chill and got to workout often.

[@tokyomonsoon8432]

Got it! Thanks for the reply

[@tonychristensen6714]

What year is that buddy

[@hunterspangler8955]

What’s your height? Would you recommend a wide glide for a 6 foot 3 guy?

[@danrockwell1883]

I’m 6 feet tall I think this bike is fine for someone at your height

[@HelixTribuner]

That is what I want next summer!!! Need get my permit firstb4 it snows. Il probably modified it into back wheel being big .

[@Dabocado]

I love the WG. Fits me like a glove. Although the front bicycle tire is a little spooky.

[@danrockwell1883]

Miss that bike!

[@StarTrekBro]

The badges on the tank are sick. Thats from the AMF era. Cool detail

[@nationalinterest1]

Your missing the fixed (softail) vs rubber (dyna) engine mounts.

[@danielsbackforty8094]

Great looking bike! I'm riding a 1998 and love it.

[@danrockwell1883]

Thank you! Goodluck with yours

[@martincarboo9021]

Thanx, now I too know the difference between a Dyna and a Softail!! :) Just about to get my first Harley....!

[@jrelpantera1982]

I’m about to get a 2011 street bob

[@danrockwell1883]

NICE

[@johnstup4479]

That's a slick classy looking bike. Congrats!

[@DustinWoloschuk]

Great video dude!!! Just got my 1st 1200 Soortster last season... already looking to upgrade to this or a soft tail and this video helped with the explanation!!!! Nice job!!!

[@IanFProductions]

How tall are you? I'm 6'2 and trying to see if the WG will fit me.

[@frankhubbardiv8711]

I'm 5'10 and had one, my buddy is 6'3" and he has one, so you should fit.

[@MrBFit-kr4hm]

I've never really been into bikes just due to lack of looking into them/lack of funds BUT. From a guy who isn't really into them that thing honestly looks super siiiiick! Gonna get me to start looking into them 😂. You and (idk if you know him) but Cal Von Moger both have sick bikes! Glad you got something you'll really enjoy!!!! 😁

[@danrockwell1883]

Mr. B Fit yeah he’s got some crazy V-rod muscle bike. That thing is sick. This is more of a classic look but I want to eventually fatten up the tire if I can do it for a good price.

[@johnneal539]

Shadow wanted to go for a ride. We want that video .

[@danrockwell1883]

Haha he did!

[@justjesse7908]

Got a 2010 wide glide myself a year ago fucking love it . Got it at 10.5k miles got almost 15 on it now was just looking up softail/ wide glide differences great vid man . Mines a reddish color but the bikes look almost the exact same . Screaming eagle air filter , and custom Matt black exhaust that’s just one exhaust doesn’t break into 2 . But that’s a clean looking bike man !! Ride safe

[@sjn4725]

Mind me asking what you paid for that? Just trying/starting to figure out what a good deal is

[@Johann-4354]

You never made more video's on your Wide-Glide.

[@danrockwell1883]

I sold it to help with my home renovations

[@whatstheproblem6606]

Nice ride mines '14 FXDWG love it!! Gonna upgrade to pipes like those

[@stevehinch2694]

Dan welcome to the Dyna world great looking bike a ride a 2007 street bob, you seemed to have not mentioned that a big difference between the Dyna and the softail is not just the exposed rear springs but the frame...there is nor swing arm per se on the Dyna you see the rear frame is flat :)

[@ravenraven-io9hs]

Great video Dan and awesome Harley

[@elijahray9792]

Dope video. I’m looking into buying a Dyna also.

[@Bobby59]

Does anyone know which is the smoother ride? Dyna or Softail?

[@danrockwell1883]

Wish I knew man

[@jakespeed9419]

The Buell 1125r definitely is a badass bike

[@danrockwell1883]

Wish I still had it!

[@startmeup5156]

A beautiful bike you have there. I'm about to buy my first Harley, but Harley has so many gorgeous bikes to chose from...I'm down to either the "Wide Glide" or the "Super Glide Custom' Like you I went through that phase of figuring out the differences between the Dyna's, Softail's Street and sportsters. I was really confused when I found out half the new (2018 to 2020) softails use to be Dyna's. Anyway, I think I have it all figured out now. Enjoy your ride.

[@hanskonrad5850]

rigid no swing arm seat coils , hardtail swing arm outside coils , softail frame suspension hidden,

[@kensantiago132]

well done. dig your honesty.

[@danrockwell1883]

Always!

Good lord that bike is beautiful. Also my dad has one and it scared the living shit out of me when I first got on it😅

Great Dan! Nice bike. Myself i ride a 2011 Fatbob. Also a dyna.

Both of my Softails are older than you😎 Welcome to the club!

Great bike. You will have loads of fun with that.

[@rickyc-bolt2331]

Sweet ride, brother!

[@AndreasDio]

Great video! Thank you. Shadow is a nice dog.

[@israelduncan4341]

Thanks for explaining it. I too was look on KZbin for different types of Harleys and ways to tell them apart and couldn't find any good videos so I appreciate you doing this video. 1st bike was Yamaha 950 star cusier 2nd bike was Harley Davison 883 sporster and 3rd bike was Honda VTX 1300. I've been riding for years and I still can't tell many bikes apart I know a few different Harley engines by sight but that's it. I can't wait to get another Harley/bike and thanks again for the video.

[@kyle3045]

Make sure you turn that switch off and don't just hit the kill switch. When I first got my harley fatbob I used to ALWAYS forget and i'd come back out and my battery would be dead lol

[@danrockwell1883]

Great tip man, appreciate that!

[@robertrodriguez8082]

[@alfredosalazar526]

Nice, get taller suspension 14 inch at least, new seat with back support for them wheelies, and a TWO INTO ONE TBR EXHAUST ! Oh and shinko 777 tires ! White walls if you want class haha

[@davemonday5381]

The main difference is a DYNA is cool Soft tails are for old people to potter around on. Mmm 😋

in the words of the T1000 - "Say, that's a nice bike!"

Rem C thank you! Took a bit to get used to but whipping it around now. Love it

[@erizfolkz31]

HD has only ever sold 1 model as a hardtail, and it's the HD Springer, and even it still has springs under the seat. Hardtails are almost exclusively a chopper thing.

[@longranger308]

Some people might of commented already but softtails have a counterbalanced engine and it’s solid mounted, dynas are rubber mounted non counterbalanced.

[@yoso585]

So how do the engines perform differently?
