1999 Harley-Davidson reviews

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

I purchased this purple super Glide in January of 99 and now have 5000 miles on it. It runs like a scalded dog. I have no regrets. It's very easy to maintain. The only modification is the Screaming Eagle pipes and a Mustang woman hater (gunfighter) seat. Show less

With some hesitation this bike was purchased instead of a Fat Boy, the windshield, bags, and engine guards sold me. The decision was an excellent one. Removing the windshield gives the low long look and with it on gives the long-range cruising comfort. It has plenty of power to be had and a great ride. Can't be beat!!! Show less

I was totally happy with my 89 FXRS-SP (equipped with a 96" S&S Motor). Then I saw the new FXDX. After reading the specs, and seeing the potential of the new Twin Cam, I bought one. I have been smiling ever since. Out of the show room it's a better bike. It feels more nimble on the back roads and the new motor beats the EVO in every respect. It has more torque, higher revving and a lot less mechanical clatter. Now, with some help from the Screaming Eagle Catalog and R&R racing the 95" motor, it's more than a match for my old ride. It's a pleasure riding a Harley that's not running out of breath at 5000 RPM. The only down side in the last 8500 miles has been a defective speedometer and a faulty starter drive, both of which were cheerfully replaced by my dealer. Show less

I picked up my '99 FLHR on Jan. 26th of 1999. I have 28,600 miles at this time. I have not had a single problem with the bike. It has performed very well for me. It has impressed some of the Gold Wing crowd I know. I highly recommend the detachable series of accessories. They add a lot of versatility to the bike. I would recommend this bike to anyone who is serious about getting past the edge of town and knocking down some serious miles. An added bonus, when I stop for gas or food it's the bike that draws the crowd. Show less

The FXR2 is very powerful and smooth riding bike. It handles like a smaller model when you are riding turns and maneuvering and rides like a big bike when on the road. At 80 mph or higher you feel no vibration at all mostly due to the rubber mounted engine. This bike is no doubt the finest ride I have ever had and I thoroughly enjoy riding this bike every chance I get. I am very lucky to be one of the 900 people in the world that has had an opportunity to enjoy this ride. Show less

It is a very nice ride. You feel like you are part of the motorcycle. It makes a lot of people stand and look at you and your HD. Ihave a 1999 flsts and have a 2001 on order. Show less

The Dyna Super Glide is going to be a collectors bike because they make very few of them and they are fast and easy to customize. It's light weight with the 88 is torque at it's best. It's fun. Put a blonde on the back and watch the heads turn!!! Show less

Over the past 29 years I've owned 17 bikes from many different manufactures. But my 99 Sporty Sport is by far my favorite. It is probably the first "keeper" I've ever had. Other bikes? Some includes: Valkyrie, ST 1100, GXR-1100, CBR1000, BMW GSPD, XR 500, XL 500, and several other Harleys. Changes: Stage 1 kit, ignition changes, grips, footpegs, different rear tire (stock rear gone in 2500 miles!) carb mods, slip-on mufflers, and more. I had it tuned on a dyno. It showed 71 hp and 72 ft/lbs. Now it makes a fine hooligan bike. Brakes are absolutely first class. Handling below 90 mph is first rate with the adjustable shocks stiffened a lot. I love this bike.

This bike handles great, looks great, and is great. With the screaming eagle breather kit and some pipes this bike performs very well. don't forget to do the jetting. It's endless possibilities as far as customizing to make a great looking bike even better. Long rides a pleasure with the ergo's of this bike. Show less
