Dyna History (From the Ashes of the FXR)

Believe it or not, Dyna chassis design work began as the replacement for the FXR shortly after FXR bikes were offered.  Dynas were introduced in 1991 with a limited-production FXDB Sturgis model, with its engine mounting system which was more vibration-resistant than that of the FXR.  The Sturgis was followed in 1992 by the limited-edition FXDB Daytona and the regular-production FXDC Dyna Glide Custom.

In 1993, the fairing and bagged FXRT Sport Glide was discontinued and the FXRS Low Rider was displaced by the FXDL Dyna Low Rider, although the FXRS-Conv Convertible and FXRS-SP Low Rider Sport the continued to be offered.  The FXDWG Dyna Wide Glide was introduced in the same year, with the Low Rider Sport being discontinued in 1994.

Between the 1991 introduction of the Dyna chassis and the end of the 1994 model year, all Dyna models had a 32° rake.  The FXD Dyna Super Glide (1995) and the FXDS-Conv Dyna Glide Convertible (1995) were introduced with a 28° rake and replaced the FXR Super Glide and the FXRS-Conv Low Rider Convertible, which were the last FXR models in regular production.

The FXD Super Glide, the FXDL Low Rider, and the FXDWG Wide Glide have been in production ever since.  The FXDX Super Glide Sport (1999) featured improved suspension components and triple disc brakes.  The FXDX-T Super Glide T-Sport, with a fork mounted fairing and improved detachable saddlebags, replaced the FXDS-Conv Dyna Convertible in 2001, and was discontinued in 2004.  The FXDC Super Glide Custom returned to the line in 2005.

In 2006, a new Dyna chassis was introduced.  In the same year, the base FXDI Super Glide became a single-seat motorcycle, the FXDBI Street Bob, a minimal, single seat Dyna Glide motorcycle was added to the lineup, the limited edition FXDI35 35th Anniversary Super Glide was offered, and the FXDX Super Glide Sport was discontinued.  In 2007, the Twin Cam 88 engine was replaced by the 1584cc Twin Cam 96 engine across the Harley-Davidson Big Twin lineup, including the FXD series. The FXDC Super Glide Custom was introduced in the same year.
