Harley-Davidson FXDX Dyna Super Glide Sport Motorcycle Reviews on Cycle Insider (5)
Avg. Rating

finally got it! i put 500 miles on it and changed all the lubes out for synthetics. the amsoil 70-90w gear lube in the primary got rid of just about all the chain whirr and the clutch engages much smoother. the red line trans lube has the trans shifting 1000% better. all i hear is a very faint tick when i shift. the engine runs perfectly and just about all mechanical noise is gone , also near totaly vibration free. i have been using synthetcs for 30 years, but have never seen such an inprovement as i have seen with this harley. i have installed a jagg oil cooler set-up and am waiting for my engine guard to be drilled and taped for earls hose fittings . the bar is going to serve as a oil tank/cooler. should work . i am also waiting for a wimmers oil temp guage. this will tell me if i should add a regular oil cooler on top of the crash bar. the floor-boards from harley r much better than pegs . i find the bars a bit of a reach so i am going to try a set of risers from j&p that move the bars back a coulple of inches. this is a great bike, smooth, plenty fast an handles great after a bit of tinkering with the 5 adjustments on the suspension. anyone having problems should be sure to set the stuff at the settings in the owners manual and work from there one click at a time. the only thing that harley could ever do to get me off this machine is for them to come out with abs brakes. anyone not loving this ride either got a lemon or shouldnt be riding, maybe they should take up fishing.

I have ridden nothing but Harley's for the last eighteen years. My last four being Ultras I was pleasantly surprised at smooth ride of this one. Handling is excellent as is performance after installing a dyna jet kit, breather kit, and pipes. Yes people think it's a Sportster but only people who don't know Harleys. I guess that is to be expected with the same front end as a Sportster. My main complaint is the chrome pitting on the rear spokes at 1300 miles and Harley telling me it is not a warranty item. I'm supposed to wax the spokes and wipe them off after every ride. They are using excuses to avoid the cost of replacing their badly chromed parts. But now that that's off my chest I like the bike. Have installed some mags and will look for high quality aftermarket parts before giving Harley my cash for any cheap chrome!

I have 2200+ miles on my 2000 FXDX. Only problem has been the loop on the side stand broke. But more my fault than the bike's I think. Put stage I Screaming Eagle carb kit in at 1,000 mile check up. Made good performer even better.

This bike is great in town and short trips on twisty roads. It handles well enough to ride aggressively and it has the grunt and the sound that can only come from H-D. 1,500 miles have been flawless. The fit and finish quality is excellent. Two minor complaints: It's too tight for two-up riding; most people think it's a Sportster.

I really like the bike. It's my first Harley. I also have a VFR800FI Interceptor for when I ride alone, so I wanted a cruiser that could handle. I lucked out and was in the right place at the right time when the guy who ordered the bike backed out. It is sinister blue pearl. It handles very well. Much better than expected. It has decent acceleration, but with the torque, you don't have to shift much. So cruising is very relaxing. The suspension soaks up the bumps nicely and the adjustability of the suspension makes one-up or two-up riding more enjoyable. I've had one problem so far -- one of the three O rings that mount the carb to the manifold cracked and it sucked so much air that it wasn't driveable. Classic H-D, in Shillington, PA, had me up and running the next day (free pick up and delivery). There are four things I don't like about the bike: The canceling action of the turn signals, the clunkiness of the shifter, and the side stand and the position of the key. Since the first three complaints have been improved on the 2001's, I ordered one in black -- the color I prefer.
