Harley-Davidson Dyna Super Glide Custom reviews

He keeps it in Immaculate condition and it's faster than all the other Harley Davidson Also he doesn't ride fast with me on it with him and I think he got 22,000 miles on it The Harley Davidson is in perfect condition Cover up the miles you could sell it as a Brand new Harley Davidson Show less

This is my fourth Harley, one softail and two touring models and this is the happiest I have been on a Harley. I added the touring windshield and a Sundowner dual seat for comfort and a Stage 1 A/C for performance and feel that is enough money spent on it. It handles better than any other Harley I have had in the twisties, and with a set of throw over bags, is good for a weekend tour. I really believe, as a bike that you can eadily mod to make it your own. This Dyna is the best model Harley produces. Show less

This Harley has all you need to handle. I added some 8" Ape hangers, black diamond cables and numerous Willie "G" accesories. I put on a set of Harley-Davidson magnesium and black 5-spoke wheels, a wide Harley seat for added comfort and chrome accessories. Show less

I looked at Harley and Victory, liked several, but didn't fall in love until I rode the Super Glide. I cannot get enough of this bike. This is my 14th bike and the best yet. Take the price out and it is still the best. I was going to spend a lot more for less. What a wonderful surprise. Be surprised, ride a Super Glide before you buy. Show less

Hadn't ridden from 1985 to July 2009. Last bike was a Honda CX500 Custom, so quite an up-sizing and definitely noticed the evolution in bikes since way back then. Lots of power and handles amazingly well. Very nimble and so much better than the top-heavy bikes I remember from my youth. didn't want a touring model as I live in downtown Toronto but still wanted to be able to ride comfortably for some 6 to 8 hour stretches at times. Besides, the larger bikes look a little too civilized for me... sort of like rolling couches. Wish the front tire was a little more beefy as it grabs tar snakes and doesn't like letting go, so I'm going to get away from the OEM Dunlops and either go with the Dunlop Elite 3s or try Pirellis. It's a comfortable ride for me at 6ft., even with the mid-controls. I have an FXDCI and like the faster warm ups. Bought it with 6,000 miles on it. It's getting some new rubber and 6 inch risers put on over the winter. Can't wait till Spring. Show less

I have owned sportsters (never again), Softails, and Touring models, but this was my first Dyna. Having and Ultra, I wanted a play bike. And this was it. The big 96ci motor and 6 spd transmission on a light bike made for a quick bike. 6th gear on the highway will take you way faster than you want to go on such a small bike. Handling was good with the slightly thicker front tire, and traction was no problem with the 160mm rear. I really like that for around $275 you can put a 180mm on back. I would say the only down-fall was the pegs. It is not at all comfortable until you put forward controls. Show less

I purchased a Sportster in February of 2008. I had put on 3200 miles by June when I traded it for my Super Glide. I have put on a pillow seat. I ride all the time. It has great comfort and reliability. My longest ride to date is 1,800 miles in three days. I wish it was a little louder. I know Harley is trying to avoid legislation on noise, but hey, it's a motorcycle. Other than that I love it! Show less

I'm a 51 year old rider with 34 years of riding under my belt and have owned over 30 plus motorcycles of all types. In this stage of my life I wanted a comfortable, safe, not over powered bike. This bike fits the bill for me. It has plenty of power in the mountains and is very stable on the freeway and in windy conditions. I don't have a lot of time to ride and in recent years I've become an "only in ideal weatherrider. I've had the bike up to around 95 and it's very stable. My only complaint is the rear shocks occasionally bottom out. I will replace them with custom shocks that can handle my weight. Show less

I am a 50 something rider and I started riding about three years ago. I started on a scooter and then moved to a Sportser 883. However, the Dyna family is what really got me excited about Harleys and was what I really wanted. I picked up my new '08 Super Glide Custom yesterday and couldn't wait to get on the road. I was a bit apprehensive about the jump from 883cc to 1582cc. Twice around the dealer parking lot was all I needed before heading out on the road. This bike is very well balanced and feels like it could stand up on its own at rest. The Sporty was a bit top heavy and was more difficult to ride at low speeds. The power plant certainly delivers but it does so in a smooth yet quick way. The rpm remain low even as you push your way through the gears (I've had to take it easy during break-in but it wants to go). The Sporty could certainly keep up with this bike but it always felt like it was giving you everything it had. This machine has a huge inventory of power in reserve. The fit and finish is very good. I've got the cobalt blue/black two-tone that I know will turn heads. The pipes are adequate (good Harley rumble) but the hard core riders will want to beef up the sound. The comfort level is way above the Sporty. I know I will take some long trips with it which I didn't do before. The only regret I have is that the current season has ended. Show less

I got my endorsement 3 weeks ago, bought the Dyna Custom 2 weeks ago and have put 680 miles on the bike. The seat is definitely hard on the rear and will need some future replacement. The bike handles well and is a kick to ride. I look forward to every time I can get on it and ride. There are a lot of winding country roads in this part of the state and the Custom handles them like a sports car. Show less
