2008 FXDSE Screamin' Eagle Dyna

Pro Street is the inspiration of this low-ridin' bad boy. This year it picks up a few new styling touches as well as some functional changes. The Dyna was probably the least inviting of the four to ride after I had some miles on it. It has lots of visual appeal, as all the CVOs do, but the forward controls were just a tad too far out front for my stubby 5' 8" frame. Couple that reach with chrome accented foot pegs, and I had a harder time keeping my boots planted than I expected.

Despite that, initial turn in doesn't require as much effort as you would think thanks to the newly reduced steering angle. Braking is what we've come to expect from most Harleys: plenty of power but lacking in feel. Despite the presence of stainless steel brake lines, I couldn't help but think that braking might benefit further if the rotor grew by about 10mm. But when it's all said and done, the Dyna makes up for these mild deficiencies with that pavement scoring brute of an engine. Bump the tranny into first, peg the throttle and dump the clutch to produce an instant rolling burnout. Yeah... So much of cruising is about torquey power!
New to the 2008 CVO Screamin' Eagle Dyna is the following:

* Mirror-chrome slotted six-spoke cast aluminum wheels
* Lowered front suspension with decreased fork angle
* Adjustable handlebar with internal wiring and integrated four-inch spun-aluminum tach
* Chrome full-length fuel tank console which now includes the speedo, and better access to the ignition switch
* Reduced reach saddle
* Shortened, solid stem mirrors


The 2008 Screamin' Eagle Dyna retails for $24,995 ($25,095 CA) and will only number 2,600 units (including 1,050 serialized 105th Anniversary models) worldwide. Add $495 for the anniversary edition.
