Harley-Davidson’s CVO Dyna was a limited factory-custom interpretation of the Dyna platform, appearing as the CVO Dyna Wide Glide for the 2001 and 2002 model years. It came from the company’s Custom Vehicle Operations program, which produced low-volume, highly specified motorcycles aimed at riders who wanted a more exclusive take on an existing Harley-Davidson chassis. In this case, the Dyna’s twin-shock frame provided the base for a more custom-styled Wide Glide variant with special finishes and equipment not found on standard showroom Dyna models. The nameplate did not become a long-running, recurring Dyna subfamily; instead, this early CVO Dyna was a short production run that remained distinct within Harley-Davidson’s broader Dyna history. Enthusiasts generally remember it as one of the earliest examples of Harley-Davidson applying the CVO formula to the Dyna line before later CVO offerings shifted to other model families.
