1999 harley-davidson FXDWG Dyna Wide Glide reviews

Low miles, showroom condition. Original decals. Extra custom seat and saddle bags. Not a mark on this bike. Like new. Recently changed all fluids and serviced. Engine guards installed Unbelievable condition. Show less

Love this bike that was purchased in 2005. I hurt my back and I'm needing to part with it and sell it because I can't lift it anymore if I tip it over, even though it has a rollbar. Been well taken care of and the Harley dealers have done all the work. Cruise control is wonderful for trips. New tires that have 65 miles on them. Excellent motorcycle and a real looker! Show less

I bought this Harley on eBay 2 years ago. I am the 3rd owner. Harley bought my first bike back under the Lemon Law and treated me very good so this purchase had some apprehension attached. The bike has been a blast to ride and real easy to own and service. I replaced a ZX11 so still wanting some 'sport' qualities in a bike I can honestly say that Harley has done it right in their Super Glide Sport. As long as you respect the limits and capabilities, this bike will not let you down. Plenty of power, flickability, lean angles you wouldn't expect on a Harley, and consistent 44mpg combined. I have never had a leak, a seep, or broken down. Dependable, Faithful, Assertive, and Reliable. Best of all it sounds great. Show less

Awesome bike-best deal for a big twin! No problems of any kind. I have taken 4 trips to Sturgis and 1 to the Milwaukee 100th. Got 45-50mpg (British gallon=4.54 liters). Show less

I have one of the early TC88 models that have had some engine trouble. Mine has held together well and has been 100% reliable. It is completely stock except for Screaming Eagle slip-ons. Last summer I had the rear cam and cam bearing replaced because I keep reading about the cam bearing failure. They said mine was fine but I replaced it anyways. I ride mine hard but I keep the revs down. There is no need to hit the rev limiter on a stock bike because it's power band levels off before you get there. Keep it stock and service it regularly.

I ORDERED A 99 WIDE GLIDE AFTER LEARNING ON A VERY SWELL HONDA SPIRIT I TRULY DO LOVE THE WIDE GLIDE I HAVE A DEUCE, A VALKYRIE TOURER AND A DUCATI MONSTER ...STILL ...MY FAVORITE BIKE OF ALL IS THIS WONDERFUL , COMFORTABLE, STYLISH, WIDEGLIDE I HAVE A HERITAGE SOFTAIL CLASSIC ON ORDER... HUMMM WE'LL SEE IF IT CAN CHANGE MY MIND Show less

I bought this bike 'cause I traditionally like the look, sound and nimble feel of the 1200 Sportster, but I tote my wife with me on many outings and we appreciate the extra saddle space afforded by the Dyna. I installed the stage II big bore kit with Screamin' Eagle mufflers and the K&N air filter assembly, and it makes this bike rock! 3rd or 4th gear roll-ons for passing are like afterburner time. Having owned many Italian, Jap and English bikes (2, 3 and 4 cylinder variety) I know the feeling of power, and this bike will blow many of the aforementiond bikes off the highway. It's not a Ducati or a Buell off the line, but it sure isn't anyone's patsy when those big pistons start to pump. I like it! H-D dealer service is as usual -- it sucks!! I try to do all of my maintenance work myself, and with the help of a friend that went to the H-D school, we manage to keep everything aligned and smooth. The engine with 8000 miles (4500 on the big bore kit) is smooth, oil tight and very reliable. I recommend this machine for anyone that likes a reasonably light, nimble sport touring American bike. The FXDX-T might be my second choice. Show less

Bought this bike second hand with 2,500mls on the clock. Not especially impressed with the finish on fastenings, wheel rims, and yolks etc. Maybe thats something to do with the damp garage it was kept in and the English climate? Whatever, for the money I expect more. Also experienced an 'engine event' in the way of the engine light coming on, on more than one occasion. Took it to the dealers and they said "no problem with the bike, the battery is a bit low and the sensing system is too sensitive" Enough to make you worry though. Maybe take the wires off in a couple of years! On the plus side, almost everything I was expecting, I love it. The look, feel, and sound is unique, and the emotional feedback is second to, ........nothing. And if thats not enough it does 50 ml / gal. I havent had that since my Bonnie in 76! It probably deserves 5 stars but the price issue takes the edge off it for me. Get one and check it out! Show less

My 2nd WG, 1st TC-88! What a difference, quarter twist is all it takes and this machine is ready to rock. Add some Screamin Eagle Pipes and Stage II Kit and if speed is important, you'll love the performance. My next bike will be the Screaming Eagle Road Glide 1550 with the 12 disc charger!!! Ride on!

My 99 Wide Glide has over 34,000 miles on it. I have had a few mechanical troubles (broke cam bolt, top motor mount bolt fell out, chrome starter cover fell off, and broke rear pivot bolt while removing for maintenance). All said and done I still love this bike more than anything else in the world. http://www.geocities.com/Baja/Mesa/4209/CA_TRIP/bike.jpg Show less
