My second favorite model! I've already told myself that if I get another to add, it'll be an FXD. Nice job. I just really like a stealth bike. I don't know what it is, but when people ride or walk by and see your bike and have to ask themselves 'Damn, what model is that?", I really feel like it adds to the success of modifying your ride. That's not to say that easily identifiable rides are bad at all, but to me... Being a little odd and mysterious is the name of the game. I play guitar too, and I've modded my guitar so much that there is no other even close to resembling it in the world... And done with class (multiple inlays and such). So, in conclusion... Love seeing a bike that outta the gate has me stumped, but beautiful at the same time. By the time I put all the money in mine that I plan to, the only thing that will look like a Switchback is the bags. And I may even replace them with leather. Peace!

the leading edge of our front fender is exactly the same as the fatboy and possibly others in the line up BUT the bottom rear is a design all its own which is why no HD or aftermarket trim works


I came up with this a few weeks back
Oops.I thought he was referring to OCDbikr's front fender.

Well, it's definitely a beautiful touch. Very nice! Where did you get the fender from? New or used? NEVER MIND! I misread the post. Don't mind me... I'm an idiot! Lol

I wanted a touring front fender, but my buddy had that fatboy fender laying around and he offered me $30 for it...just needed paint.

I love stumping the old timers with it; $10 if you can guess what it is.

She cuts through wind lik you wouldn't believe. The fairing is from Big Bear Choppers "Titanium" model. Or a modded fxrt fairing. Great quality work. Chopped stock headers to a thunderheader slip on, 211 cams, west coast MX tbars 12", Rough Country LED light bars. I think that a bout does her.. Thanks OCD
