New Braided Brake Lines on all Dynas plus Three 105th Anniversary Models

MILWAUKEE (July 9, 2007) – The bold new FXDF Dyna Fat Bob leads the 2008 line of Dyna performance factory customs from Harley-Davidson. Unmistakable behind dual headlamps and rolling on chunky, aggressive tires, the Fat Bob takes Dyna styling in a bold new direction. Other Dyna news for 2008 includes braided stainless steel brake lines as standard equipment on all models, and the availability of three Dyna models with a Limited Edition 105th Anniversary package of special paint, badges and serialization.

The Harley-Davidson Dyna family stays faithful to the formula established by the early factory customs produced by the Motor Company in the 1970s, bikes that combined Big Twin power with the style of the lighter FX front end. Over the years, the Dyna line has established a reputation for great handling and exhilarating performance.

All Dyna models are powered by a 1584 cc Twin Cam 96 powertrain with Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI) mated to the 6-Speed Cruise Drive transmission. In the Dyna platform, the Twin Cam 96 pounds out 91 ft.-lbs. of torque at 3000 rpm. Shared Dyna characteristics include the under-seat battery box, exposed rear shock absorbers, and a classic Fat Bob fuel tank with console.
