Default My switchback is almost done

I will tear the engine down soon for powder coating and cams. Just added progressive springs and 444 shocks, world of difference. I really like this bike now, hated it when I bought it, looked like a chrome old mans bike. Just ordered a new air cleaner, just don't like the looks of my dkcustoms, on this bike. I will be selling it soon for hella cheap. Its the typhoon model with a black backing but I have a clear one as well and fits all '06 newer dyna.

That's looking really good! When I bought my WG, it was a toss up between the switch and wg. Ended up getting the wg because I figured it was cheaper to add bags on the wg than blacking out all the chrome on the sb. I still have some chrome to get rid of but most of the motor is already black.

Just curious. If you hated it when you bought it, why would you buy it? No offense meant.

You did good...did you like it at first when you bought it? I ask, because I'm going through it with my Heritage. It's kinda "meh" at the moment.
