This limited-edition Dyna was offered only for the 2006 model year as a commemorative tribute to the original 1971 Super Glide and the factory-custom idea that model helped establish. It appeared during a major update to Harley-Davidson’s Dyna family, which had just been reworked for 2006, and it carried distinctive anniversary styling meant to set it apart from the regular production Dyna lineup. The commemorative treatment emphasized the nameplate’s heritage rather than introducing an all-new chassis concept, making it a special-edition interpretation of the familiar mid-size cruiser formula.
As a 35th anniversary model, it was positioned as both a nostalgia piece and a collectible. Its significance comes from the Super Glide name itself, which has long been associated with Harley-Davidson’s original factory-custom ethos: a production motorcycle designed to blend big-bike presence with a personalized look and feel. The anniversary edition marked that legacy with unique badging and period-inspired visual cues, and it stands as a one-year celebratory model rather than a long-running subseries. Because it was built for a single model year, there is no separate second production period to track.
