Dyna vs fatboy.

[Black Diamond]

I realize it's gonna be "whatever your preference" but can someone tell me the advantages and differences of each ?

[Gunny]

Are you drinking again? Or just talking in code? WTF are those?

Both. Nothing better than a pre run beer.

I'll balance it out with some grilled cheese.

You must have asked about the difference between a Fatboy, (softail), and a Dyna just to start a thread...

The major difference between the two is a Dyna has an "A" engine, no internal balancers and the engine is shock mounted with rubber engine mounts, and a softail, ala Fatboy, has a "B" engine with internal balancers, won't rev up as fast or as far and the engine is solid mounted into the frame.

Then a Dyna has two outside mounted rear shocks between the upper frame rails and the lower control arm and a softail, ala Fatboy, has a mono shock mounted under the frame to a one piece rear control arm. Then there's also cosmetic differences.

Softails, ala Fatboy, are for stylin'... Dynas are Harley Davisons big twin hotrods.

Man, I thought he was talking about atomic bombs "Little Man" and "Fat Boy".

I never saw that movie with Paul Newman. I always imagined it would be leftist crap.

Don't know about the movie. Those were the names of the two atomic bombs dropped on Japan.

Yeah. It's what the film is about.

Ya... I'll remember to respond about BOMBS next time he asks about Harleys...

Must have been a test to see if I was really a Harley Tech...
