2010 Harley Davidson FXDWG Dyna Wide Glide – Motorbike Bicycle
The first FXDWG Dyna Wide Glide hit the scene in 1993 and quickly became revered for its kicked-out, wide-set front fork legs pitched at a heavy rake, and mini ape-hanger style handlebars. For a production motorcycle, the Wide Glide gained reputation as a hot chopper, especially for a bike
The 2010 Dyna Wide Glide gets its name from its wide-spaced forks and exposed dual rear shocks.
Immediately the Harley purists dismissed it for not looking like the previous Wide Glides. For 2010, the new Wide Glide comes with a chopped rear fender and a beefed-up back end with a 180mm rear tire, and the staggered shortys have been ditched for Tommy Gun 2-1-2 exhausts. The tall bars are lower and set wider, and the bike overall sits a little lower and its demeanor is a little darker.
The 2010 Wide Glide has the marquee wide-spaced fork, with 49mm tubes set out at a rake of 34-degrees. On the backside, dual exposed rear shocks are standard Dyna fare.
One of Harley-Davidson’s recent trends has been offering bikes with blacked-out trim, and the Wide Glide is no exception. The battery box likewise is black except for a swath of chrome trim imprinted with the Wide Glide moniker, and small details like the fender mounts, mirrors, bar clamps and control housings are also blacked out.
The 2010 Wide Glide’s 1.25-inch drag-style handlebars are a big change from the mini apes of old.
The Twin Cam 96 engine continues to provide the punch for the 2010 Dyna Wide Glide. This holds true at cruising speeds on the new Wide Glide, but at low revs and while idling at stop lights, the bike has a familiar shake to it.

Gearing is fairly standard, with first gear wide enough to take riders up to about 45 mph, while second tops out in the 70 mph range. Fifth gear is nice and wide, and had plenty to give even up top. The one item I did notice with the Wide Glide’s gearbox is a less-clunky engagement. Turn-in is slow and steering isn’t light in sharp turns. Instrumentation on the ’10 Wide Glide is minimal. The 2010 Dyna Wide Glide has a tank capacity of 4.7 gallons, but plan on frequent stops on long rides.
My last grievance with the new Wide Glide is the placement of its kickstand.
The Wide Glide we tested had the Vivid Black with Flames color combo that looked street-savvy with the addition of the small, black sissy bar on the back. A lowered suspension, lower seat height, new pipes and new bars shift the new Glide into power cruiser territory more so than the chopper-influenced styling of the old bike.
