With a low seat height of just 680 mm, the FXDC is accessible for a wide range of riders, delivering confidence and comfort on every journey. Beyond the powerful performance, the 2009 FXDC Dyna Super Glide Custom is replete with features that elevate its appeal. The motorcycle boasts a stylishly designed frame made of mild steel with a rectangular section backbone, ensuring both strength and stability. Its polished aluminum front fork and coil-over rear shock provide a smooth ride, absorbing bumps and enhancing handling. Aesthetic touches such as the silver powder-coated engine with chrome treatment covers, a low-profile front fender, and a sport wrap-around rear fender contribute to its striking appearance, while practical elements like mid-mounted rider footpegs and a comfortable two-up Dyna® classic seat ensure that both rider and passenger can enjoy extended journeys in comfort. **
