2008 HARLEY-DAVIDSON FXDL

LONG, LOW AND LEAN HASN’T GOTTEN A MOMENT’S REST SINCE WILLIE G. DAVIDSON SHOWED UP AT DAYTONA ON THE FIRST LOW RIDER® IN THE ‘70S.

It’s still one of the most sought after pure-as-pure-gets machines to tour any road. The low center of gravity and easy handling allow you to kick back and enjoy the ride. The going got even better last year with the fuel-injected, 96-cubic-inches of all-new V-twin. You can’t miss it, glittering in black and chrome. Drop low into the seat and you’re surrounded by machine. Plant your feet on either mid-mount controls or highway pegs. This is what it feels like when you go low.

FXDL Lowrider great bike lacks power


We test drove the 2008 FXDL here at the shop when we did a customer regular service and found the bike to be a great ride, good handler but really lacked power. Now don't get us wrong the thing has power through the city gears but get it out on the highway and there is definitely lots of room for improvement. So we gave it a Stage II, you know the drill fuel upgrade, exhaust and ignition, huge difference now it has the guts to get up and rock.

If you've got a newer or older H-D and are looking for it to give you a kick in the ass, give us a call here at Precision Frameworx, your one stop performance H-D shop.

Call one of the staff at 403.568.1075, visit us online at www.precisionframeworx.com or check out our profile pages here on the CPG or on Facebook...

See you soon.
