This factory-custom Dyna Wide Glide variant was part of Harley-Davidson’s Custom Vehicle Operations program, the low-volume performance and styling line the company launched in 1999. It brought the Wide Glide’s long, stretched stance into the CVO range, giving the familiar Dyna platform a more exclusive showroom treatment with special paint, extra chrome, and selected custom details that distinguished it from standard production Dynas. The model first appeared for the 2001 model year as FXDWG2, making it the first CVO version of the Dyna family. Harley-Davidson continued the concept for 2002 as FXDWG3, after which the nameplate ended. That short run makes it a relatively early and collectible CVO entry, especially among riders interested in the period when Harley was still defining what its factory custom program would become. In Harley-Davidson’s model-history materials, the CVO Dyna Wide Glide is listed only for 2001 and 2002, and it sits alongside the broader Wide Glide lineage rather than replacing it. For enthusiasts, it represents an early example of Harley-Davidson using the CVO badge to elevate an existing model into a more exclusive, limited-production special rather than creating a completely new motorcycle line.
