Engineered by Harley-Davidson for the custom - cruiser motorcycle segment, the 2005 Harley-Davidson FXDWGI Dyna Wide Glide utilizes a 1449 cc (88.4 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 67 HP (48.9 kW) at 5,200 rpm while maximum torque reaches 102 Nm (75.2 lb-ft) at 3,400 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 and a 1,800 rpm working window between peak torque (3,400 rpm) and peak power (5,200 rpm), the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.
On the scales, the FXDWGI Dyna Wide Glide measures 290 kg (639 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.23 HP/kg (4.33 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 640 mm (25.2 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,625 mm (64 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 17.4-liter (4.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
