I love Dynas, but you're describing the new Sportster Roadster.
Not necessarily....
That right there is why I got a Dyna, to slowly build it into a corner smashing wheelie machine that I can throw a set of bags to kill some long distance freeway miles. Granted mine has a ways to go....
Haha thanks guys, I think I'm on the right track. I prefer to build instead of buying so I think I will be looking for old Dynas after I sell the Glide. I love to start with crap and turn it into a diamond.
has nothing on even a 2004 roadster. dynas DO NOT move like sportys.. they just don't any fussing to that fact is pointless. those are nice wheels on that low rider. got the source link?

and you can "throw bags..." on a sporty and do the same... i did it for years.
I did dyna because i wanted a stripped down highway machine.... i gotta be honest and say i don't really love it. it's great on the highway but, a pain in the a** around town. big goofy bike getting all in it's own way, so i don't really ride it much. i've put about 4K on it and that was kinda the first ride (literally). another 600 or so of that was to Orlando and back. i've had it since october 2015... i'm trying to love it... lord knows i'm trying... it is not working.
but on an open road... fu**!!!! that power just keeps coming and the feel of those pistons thumping.... mean.
Why a Switchback for me? Heavy enough to go touring, light enough to be nimble. Only other thought was a Low Rider and put on bags and a windshield. That's how I rode and toured on my FXR for over twenty years. I don't want a heavier bike.

You can also do that on a sportster, but at 6'3" 300lbs - I look freaking ridiculous on one...the bike fits me. A properly set up dyna can move - take a bike like the one I posted for a ride and tell me its still goofy. It's a completely different animal than your semi-stock wide glide (and mine for that matter...)
