Hi, was contemplating buying a 2009 RK but after a test ride decided its a bit big and heavy for what I want, especially if I load it up and then chuck the wife on as well!
So, decided to have a look at a Dyna series and been looking at Street Bobs. Then I can had another seat and bags if I want later. 
My question is as above, I have heard that cats came into Australia 2010, thats why I'm after a 2009. But having read a couple of US sites they mentioned 2009.......or was that just over there??

 

2008 dynas had them in the mufflers, not sure about 06 or 07

They are easily removed so don't let a certain bike having one stop you from buying it

Very easily removed, did mine a few days ago, removed flapper as well. Pulls like a train and the heat is gone.

Dynas ( except the ones with the 2:1 type stock systems , Wide Glide and The Dyna touring mini Roadking thing !) had the cats in the mufflers

The 2 mentioned differences have the cat in the 2:1 PART

All Softails have the cats in the ( easily removable ) mufflers

All tourers have the cats in the "2:1" part since 2009 , in the mufflers before that

All "Aussie" bikes have had cats since forever as we get "Euro 4" mufflers 'cause we're all as environmental as all fuck !

Many US models and model years have no cats UNLESS sold new in the "republiK of Kalifornia"

Baloffski,
Thanks, that is precisely what I needed to know!

Oops, I mean Retroman. Damn those posts are close together!
I had heard that Oz didnt get cats till 2010, as you say they have been in for a long while.
