Positioned in Harley-Davidson's custom - cruiser motorcycle lineup, the 2003 Harley-Davidson FXDWG Dyna Wide Glide features a 1449 cc (88.4 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 67 HP (48.9 kW) while maximum torque reaches 106 Nm (78.2 lb-ft) at 2,900 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 46.2 HP per liter, the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.
On the scales, the FXDWG Dyna Wide Glide measures 310 kg (683 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.22 HP/kg (4.63 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 738 mm (29.1 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,665 mm (65.6 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 19.7-liter (5.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
