2015 Dyna Switchback
I just got a new to me 2015 Dyna Switchback and I'm a happy guy with this deal. I traded my 2014 Dyna Low Rider and some money for the Switchback. Don't get me wrong I liked the Low Rider a lot as well. But thought a change to a Switchback would be better for my old bones. I was out today putting the FLD through its paces. I can honestly say this is one fine riding machine. The comfort, handling, performance and a very stable platform at any speed. I like all the features of the Switchback and will definitely be putting on some cruising miles.

Congrats on the new ride. I love my 2014 Low Rider but I must admit I find the Switchback an appealing option. Never rode one. Went to two different demo events this year but there was no Switchback available. Probably a good thing. While having my ignition switch recall done the salesman had me sit on a Switchback and took the windshield and bags off. I was impressed. I'll be interested in hearing your report after you've had it for 6 months or more.

Both my wife and I both have FLD's. We bought these as a 10 year anniversary present to ourselves. Of the HD's I had test ridden, only the Road King actually handled better, but I wasn't a fan of the additional almost 100lbs. For myself, I had to go through some experimentation on bars / seats, but I really enjoy the bike. The touring friendliness is a big plus for me.
Good luck and enjoy your ride.

I think that's very cool, you both have an FLD. Purchased together on your 10 year anniversary, nice presents. I myself grew fond of the Road King bagger style and over all looks. But like you said almost 100 lbs. heavier than the FLD. I'm not a big touring guy. I do 2-4 hour rides frequently with city driving. I prefer the lighter Switchback for my needs and riding routines. I changed the Grips, but will leave everything else alone for a while. I will probably need a backrest for lower back support sooner rather than later.
Y'all ride safe.
