This Dyna Street Bob factory-custom variant was introduced for the 2013 model year as a more personalized, paint-focused offshoot of Harley-Davidson’s stripped-down bobber concept. It sat within the Dyna family and used the familiar Street Bob formula of a minimal stance, chopped styling, and blacked-out custom attitude, but it was identified separately in Harley-Davidson’s VIN and parts documentation as a factory-custom designation. That distinction matters: it was not a new standalone motorcycle line, but a special-nameplate version of the existing Street Bob during the Dyna era.
Harley-Davidson’s own model-code references show the Street Bob nameplate continuing under the FXDB family while the FXDBP variant appears in official parts and model documentation from 2013 through 2016. Within that span, the bike was offered in multiple factory color and trim treatments, which reinforced its position as a custom-oriented version rather than a fully redesigned model. It remained part of the Dyna platform, which was Harley-Davidson’s rubber-mounted big-twin cruiser chassis before the company consolidated its cruiser lineup into the Softail family.
By 2016, this exact FXDBP designation was still present in Harley-Davidson parts catalogs, but it does not appear in the later Dyna model listings after that era. The broader Street Bob nameplate later continued in updated form on the Softail platform, but the Dyna-era FXDBP chapter ended with the discontinuation of the Dyna line.
