Default Transformation of my Switchback

I bought this bike last year as a 2013 closeout model with 22miles on it for 16K cash OTD. I had a vision for it because I hated how the stocker looks. My wife rides with me a lot, so it was a good bike for 2up and also as a solo cruiser. I am almost done with it, I am upgrading cams and when I do I am gonna powdercoat the rocker covers. I also plan on adding a Glide pro bullet style fairing. Almost there.

I'm of the other "school". It's your bike and you are free to do whatever you want to do to it but I don't care for the blacked out look paired with a metallic paint job. Blacked out parts and accessories do look a lot better to me with just a standard plain jane solid color paint scheme on a bike though.

First off....there is no reason to lie. You are among friends here. Friends who too know the addiction of the mod...especially the Dyna.


Looks sweet! I'm digging it. Looks good with the black!!
