[Not A Snowbird]

I'm going for the Dyna Low-Rider, if I get one at all. I'm still not convinced it's a good move.

Right now I have a 2001 Sportster. I'm leery of the added weight, even though the Dyna sits lower and is more stable (I'm told.) The Sporty is topheavy.

I may just go with a new Sporty, now that they've moved and rounded out that blankety-blank battery case.

Tough call. You're right in saying that you do get a lower CG with the Dyna - but at the expense of extra weight. Perhaps renting one from your local HD dealer for a weekend is the answer...

I came to HD after riding 700+ pound BMW touring bikes so both the Dyna and Sportster feel a bit like mopeds to me.

The other advantage you'll get with 2004 and newer Sportsters is a rubber mounted engine, making for a much smoother motorcycle than the 2003 and older models.

Good luck whatever you decide...

Ah, the Dyna's are a piece of cake compared to the Sporties. I'm a Sportster fan myself, I won't ride anything else anymore. However, I've ridden plenty of big twins, and they're much more forgiving than the more nimble Sportster with their greater HP to weight ratios.
