With the migration to the FXR platform came the more significant development of the 1. Evolution engine in 1. FXRs for 8. 4. 1. Those last shovels were fitted to police bikes only. Harley was plagued throughout the seventies by piss poor quality control. A product of poor morale among workers and a parent company AMF that was used to manufacturing sporting equipment and not motorcycles led to a very sorry state of affairs. Shovelhead engined models manufactured between 1. Thankfully, by 1. Willie G Davidson and the tide started to turn. FXR Lowrider. 1. 98. Harley Davidson. It saw the introduction of their new all alloy Evolution engine and virtually solved all of the Shovelheads woes in one hit with advanced features like better oiling, tighter seals and tolerances, more robust engineering and better metallurgy. Amazingly the new engine was internally a complete redesign while still retaining the same general look as the rest of the V twin linage. It took a while before the public and motoring journalists dropped the stigma of Harleys being oil leakers and prone to breakdowns. It was predestined however, that H Ds image was to slowly but surely turn full circle. The first Dyna The Sturgis. Welcome to the 1. Dyna chassis. The Dyna was Harley Davidsons first CAD computer aided drafting designed model and featured an advanced rubber mount engine isolation system. This new system allowed more engine oscillation at idle but a lot less at speed, resulting in a vibration free ride where your hands, mirrors and arse didnt go numb at highway speeds. This is opposed to the older FXRs slightly damped, but ever present vibes. FXR Lowrider. When the FXR fell into extinction in 1. Low Rider was re christened the FXDL Dyna Low Rider and given a new set of clothes. The Low Riders new chassis shared all of the features and flaws of its siblings in the Dyna range with the exception of its unique steering head angle. The Dyna frame is basically Harleys version of a perimeter frame. Differing from all other H D frames, it has no center tube crossing between the engine and transmission, just a framework of high quality steel encircling the entire powerplanttransmission. In stock configuration it performs flawlessly, but ask yourself How many Harleys remain stock for long In performance modified form, the Evo engine tends to break inner primary cases from the increased stresses placed on this piece in the fully isolated configuration of the Dyna range. The inner primary doesnt have enough meat to handle the increased torsional forces that a hot rodded Evo can produce. Luckily, many aftermarket firms have developed a brace for the bikes right hand side to spread the torque produced by a bored, stroked, or otherwise performance modified powerplant. Another Lowrider customizers nightmare can be found in the full fender that extends almost all the way down to the swingarm. When lowering a Dyna, the fender has to be cut and shut to avoid damage to this piece when the bike encounters a bump and the rear suspension compresses, smashing the swingarm into the fender with great force. Other idiosyncrocies include a weird key position behind the seat on the right hand side, passenger footpegs that look a little tacky and excessive vibration at idle from the rubber isolated engine. On the up side, the Dyna chassis has greater rigidity than its FXR predecessor for better handling, increased vibration damping at speed, a hidden crossover tube on the rubber mounted exhaust pipes for a greater torque spread and easily accessed electronics. FXDL Lowrider. The Low Rider was a motorcycle made to buck tradition and follow the popular custom bike trend when it was first introduced in 1. Other than the narrow glide front end there is little of the original FXS in the new FXDL. The mag wheels, once thought to be trick in the seventies are commonplace today and the modern Lowrider comes factory equipped with laced wheels for a lower ticket price. The FXS had sporty drag style handlebars too, while the new Dyna comes equipped with questionably comfortable buckhorn bars. A strange choice to some people but Id wager they have never ridden more than 5. Download Hacked Flash Games Free. One thing that remains of the original Low Rider however, is H Ds immaculate attention to detail. Wrinkled black paint and lashings of chrome adorn most surfaces of this motorcycle giving it that undeniable factory custom look. Highway pegs add comfort on long hauls and it is simply amazing the difference having an alternative foot position can make on a big trip. A detachable passenger seat doubles as a driver backrest, offering extra comfort and lumbar support, again proving this bike was designed with the long haul in mind. A fuel gauge tops the dummy gas cap on the left side of the tank like most modern Harleys, often hitting empty after 1. The new in 9. 7 spring rates were perfect for a blast through the twisties, with only the limited leverage from those buckhorns impeding the fun. A change to mini apes, T bars or western style bars works wonders on the easy manouverability front as well as putting your arms in a more comfortable position. On the open road suspension is smooth and supple, allowing hours to pass in comfort, your smile growing by the mile. Some folk are less than enthusiastic about the mid mount foot controls but again, the aftermarket is chock full of forward controls if thats your thing. The new Lowrider hardly resembles that first model, made way back in 1. It is better in every way and still holds that undeniable persona of a cool, lowered factory custom. FXDLI Lowrider. 0.

Super Glide models from 1. Dyna Glide chassis which offers a wider variety of front ends and trim levels, and for a time filled the intermediate niche between the smallest and largest Harley models the Dyna platform has since been discontinued for the 2. Softail frame, with some models from the Dyna nameplate being carried over to the Softail line. Historyedit1. 97. FX Super GlideeditFrom 1. Servi Car, there have been two distinct lines of V Twin Harley Davidson motorcycles, the small twins and the big twins. However, individual bikers would sometimes customize bikes by changing parts around or cutting and rewelding frames and other components to suit their tastes. Harley Davidson styling director Willie G. Davidson was aware of this phenomenon and decided to design a motorcycle for production that would offer the look of the custom bikes. To accomplish this, he started with the frame and rear suspension, but not the electric starter, from the FLH Electra Glide, to which he then mated the smaller telescopic forks from the XLH Sportster. This combination was referred to as the FX chassis, where FX meant Factory Experimental,4 The drivetrain and engine accessories were from the FLH, the front headlights and brakes were from the XLH. This use of a mixture of FL and XL parts has also been used to explain the FX designation. To complete the Super Glide, he added buckhorn handlebars and a boattail tailfender unit similar to those being used on the XLH Sportster. The production FX Super Glide was released in 1. Particularly not well received was the boattail, which also proved to be unpopular on the Sportsters that had it. Sales of both models improved when less radical rear styling was made available.

In 1. 98. 6, all FX based bikes except the Wide Glide were supplanted by FXR based bikes. The Wide Glide was discontinued the following year. The FXR Super Glide II was introduced in 1. FX models. The FXR chassis was essentially an FLT Tour Glide chassis with slightly bigger diameter frame tubes and a more conventional design around the steering head. As such, it offered a rubber mounted engine and a five speed transmission, as opposed to the solid mounting and four speed transmission of the original FX chassis. The FXR range was expanded in the same year by the introduction of the FXRS Low Glide, which was the FXR equivalent of the FXSB Low Rider, and next year with the FXRT Sport Glide in 1. Super Glide variant with a fairing and saddlebags. Upon the discontinuation of the corresponding FX based models, the FXR Super Glide II became the FXR Super Glide and the FXRS Low Glide became the FXRS Low Rider. The Wide Glide was discontinued because the FXR frame was not suitable for the wide forks.
