Talk me outta this
Hi all, long time Dyna lover here.
Looking at this 2006 35th Anniversary.
Love the look and its the right price. I know all the issues about 2006 being the "bastard" year but can get around those issues.
I understand the chassis on these older dynas are good for the mountain twisty riding I like, and my first upgrades will be to the brakes and suspension to help this. I like injection over carbs.
I ride a 2005 Aprilia Tuono 1000r, so I already have another bike I can ride fast. I don't need a firebreather but is the 88 cube going to leave me disappointed?
I've ridden before
Evo Heritage Softail
103 Street bob
110 Dyna Low Rider s
114 Heritage Softail.
How does an 88 cube Dyna rate against these bikes? I haven't ridden a Dyna this old.
My favorite was obviously the Low Rider S for my style of riding.
The 35th Anniversary is $16k where I live (Australia)
A 16/17 Low Rider S is $25k
Leaves a heap of money to pour into the old bike.
What would you go for? A basic LRS or a heavily nodded older Dyna, mainly for fast twisty roads?
Cheers, all opinions appreciated.
