Switchback oe Street Glide?
I'm looking to move from a Sportster to either. A Dyna Switchback or Street Glide. I love my Sporty, but find it a tad bit uncomfortable on trips. So I'm looking for input or feedback from those who have some experience with these models. My budget should cover either. I like the idea of 103ci in a smaller frame, but want a fairing with radio. Bag removal not important...but could be nice.
so what you have to say???

Traded my '09 Sporty last year (883 xlc) for a Switchback, haven't looked back, love the bike! Goes good, has nice hard bags and windshield. If you want a stripped down version, it only takes a minute to remove both! Its also comfortable for the wife to ride on back (I suppose that could be viewed as a plus or a minus)

I have a Street Glide and a Wide Glide. The WG is a more comfortable ride, you can stretch out on it, it's noticeably faster and much more maneuverable. All around it is a far better bike. I'm cramped on the SG and I'm 5'7' so if you are tall either get a Road Glide or a Dyna. Unless you plan to do 60 percent touring -- more than 500 miles at a crack -- a Dyna is the way to go.
