And the whole assembly is rubber mounted independent to the frame, i.e. there's a relative amount of movement betwixt the two .

Which results on a 'flexi-frame' feeling as the engine/trans/swing-arm unit moves around relative to the frame on tight left-right-left bends.

Yep. A Dyna feels a WHOLE lot more 'rubbery' than a Sporty. Even now with the big forks and stiffer frame (06 on) they're nowhere near as tight in the frame as a Softail.

Great photos, but I reckon it looks better in the flesh. A nice travelogue for Wellington too!

The rocker custom is certainly nicer than the standard in this article. Cool looking machine but the standard is personally just a bit dull.

Personally I think the black also looks better, but again thats just personal choice.
