Love em. So far the best tire Iv used on this thing. I'd say I put about 2000 miles since Iv put them on, aggressive riding and they have good grip and it seems to be very minimal wear. I'm very satisfied with them, as much so that Iv made them my go to tires for future purchases.

It also have the mini floorboards for the passenger. We bought the components for the sissy bar (bar itself was not in stock) and the engine guard (which is now installed).

We are thinking about going with Chrome Vance and Hines Twin Slash Duals when we get the extra cash. (Anyone interested in the D&D??) Also your opinions on the Duals. If we can get the header pipes maybe we can go with a 2:1 who knows. The D&D is just LOUD.

So moving on:

I was wondering if you all would post your bikes and what you have done with them (I know someone probably already has done this but I can't find a page). Maybe we can get ideas from each other.

Thanks all.

P.S. Some issue with the photo can't get it right side up. Guess I will have to take a new photo this weekend.


Here's mine

Some sweet looking rides in this thread! Every time I follow a Switchback thread, I find myself wanting to add one to my garage.

I really like the look of the switchback, it's on my list to be considered for my next bike . I am not a big fan of hard bags but I bet that bike would look great with a nice set of leathers on it. Great looking bikes here.

Nice! I happen to be a big fan of the silver. I think blacked out components on the silver would look great. Having said that, you're bike looks great.

Mine is the Big Blue Pearl, my front fender is a soft tail slim flat black to match my front end. I like how you set your bike up, black and silver looks really good as well.
