Positioned in Harley-Davidson's custom - cruiser motorcycle lineup, the 1992 Harley-Davidson Dyna Glide Custom pairs a 1337 cc (81.6 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 49 HP (35.8 kW) at 5,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 97 Nm (71.5 lb-ft) at 2,350 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 36.6 HP per liter and a 2,650 rpm working window between peak torque (2,350 rpm) and peak power (5,000 rpm), the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.
On the scales, the Dyna Glide Custom measures 280 kg (617 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.18 HP/kg (5.71 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 673 mm (26.5 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops. The 19-liter (5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
