Overview

Introducing the 2009 Harley-Davidson FXDC Dyna Super Glide Custom, a striking embodiment of American cruiser culture that marries classic styling with modern performance. Positioned within Harley-Davidson’s Dyna family, the FXDC stands out as a custom cruiser that appeals to those who value both aesthetic finesse and a powerful riding experience. With its low-slung profile and a range of vibrant color options—from the timeless Vivid Black to the eye-catching Flame Blue Pearl—this motorcycle is designed to turn heads while delivering an exhilarating ride. At the heart of the FXDC is a robust 1584cc V2 engine that roars with a commanding torque of 123 Nm at just 3125 RPM, offering ample power for spirited acceleration and effortless cruising. The engine's four-stroke design, combined with electronic sequential port fuel injection, ensures smooth throttle response and optimal fuel efficiency, making it perfect for long rides on open highways or navigating urban streets. The 6-speed gearbox enhances versatility, allowing riders to glide through gears seamlessly, while the air cooling system maintains optimal operating temperatures even during extended rides. 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. **
