2006 Harley Davidson FXDBI Street Bob
New FXDBI Street Bob Joins New 2006 Dyna Line-up - New 6-Speed Transmission and Stiffer Frames for All FXD Models;
The new FXDBI Street Bob and a limited-production
FXDI 35th Anniversary Super Glide join three returning models in an innovative Harley-
Davidson Dyna line that has been completely re-engineered for 2006. Key changes to
all Dyna models include a new 6-speed Cruise Drive transmission, new frames, new
49mm forks and a wider, 160mm rear tyre. The result is improved performance and
updated styling for all models in the Dyna family of custom-performance motorcycles.
Rooted in the look of hard-edged Harley-Davidson FX factory customs of the 1970s, the
Dyna family continues to blend stripped-down, custom styling with exhilarating
performance. A complete redesign of the Dyna platform was implemented for 2006 to
improve each Dyna model across the entire performance spectrum. Key Dyna styling
elements - an exposed battery box, twin exposed rear shocks, a raked fork and the
classic Fat Bob fuel tank - remain in place on the 2006 models. All Dyna models are
powered by the rubber-isolated 1450cc Twin Cam 88 engine. Electronic Sequential Port
Fuel Injection (ESPFI) is standard on all 2006 Dyna models;
The FXDXI Dyna Super Glide Sport has been discontinued for 2006.
Details on new features of the 2006 Dyna line-up include;
6-Speed Cruise Drive Transmission;
The new 6-speed Cruise Drive transmission replaces the five-speed transmission
previously used on Dyna models, and offers a taller top-gear drive ratio for significantly
reduced engine rpm at highway cruising speeds. A completely new design, the Cruise
Drive transmission utilises helical-cut gears that mesh more quietly than the straight-cut
gears used in the previous transmission. Shift effort is significantly reduced because thin
steel "dog rings" that slide to cause gear changes replace moving gears. Because the
dog rings have less mass than gears, shifting is quicker and smoother, and the throw of
the shift lever is reduced. Larger internal bearings, larger gears and a stiffer
transmission housing all combine to improve over-all durability, and torque-carrying
capacity is increased by 28 percent. External oil lines have been eliminated, and all
seals are improved. The transmission service interval is increased to 20,000 miles from
5,000 miles.
Reduced Clutch Lever Effort;
A redesign of the ball-and-ramp mechanism and the clutch diaphragm spring provide a
35 percent reduction of peak clutch lever effort on all 2006 Dyna models. The result is
less forearm fatigue, especially in stop-and-go traffic, and easier operation.
Improved Twin Cam 88 Engine;
As part of the redesign of the Dyna platform, changes were made to the Twin Cam 88
engine, to both fit with the new 6-speed Cruise Drive transmission and to enhance
overall satisfaction with the engine. The cam plate design has been improved to include
new roller chain, plain cam bearings and a new hydraulic automatic chain tensioner. The
improved oil pump provides 10 percent more flow and 23 percent more scavenging
capacity, and the engine now has an integral oil filter adaptor and an integrated oilcooler
adaptor. A new design for the engine/transmission interface incorporates integral
oil passages. Finally, the primary drive features a new inner and outer housing and a
new automatic primary chain tensioner that eliminates the need for chain adjustment
and the inspection cover. The primary drive ratio is raised from 1.44:1 (2005) to 1.353:1
(2006).
New 49mm Fork Tubes;
Fork tube diameter is increased to 49mm from 39mm on all Dyna models for more
substantial front-end styling and improved handling.
New Frame Designs;
All 2006 Dyna frames have been re-engineered to provide a significant improvement in
handling plus enhanced styling and rider ergonomics. Each model has new fork rake
and triple clamp offset specifications. New stiffer, one-inch diameter front and rear axles
and a wider, stiffer swingarm combine to improve high-speed handling.
Dyna Styling Changes;
All models have new seats offering improved comfort and styling. A new 160/70 B 17
rear tyre and 17-inch wheel replaces the 150/80 B 16 tyre and 16-inch wheel used on
2005 Dyna models. New battery covers and rear fender shapes offer more
contemporary rear-end styling and compliment the new rear wheel and tyre
combinations.
FXDBI Street Bob;
The new FXDBI Street Bob takes minimalist styling to a new extreme. Inspired by the
post-World War II "bobber" movement, the Street Bob discards any component not
required by law.a passenger seat and pegs, for example. A solo seat sets the tone for
a motorcycle designed for the individualist. Seat height is just 655 mm. Mini ape-hanger
handlebars, the classic Fat Bob fuel tank, a new wrap-around rear fender and chrome
laced wheels complete a profile that will stand out in the cruiser crowd. A new wrinkleblack
finish is applied to the battery box, console, and belt guard. Four colour choices
include new Black Denim, a flat-black.
