Default Switchback gone for 2017.
A Dyna bagger didn't interest enough buyers? If it had cruise and bigger bags with the new 107 wouldn't that have been a nice small tourer?

If you are anti-Dyna Tourer (Windshield, Floorboards, Bags, Cushy Seat) then we already know your answer.

Then it would be a full size tour bike.

don't blame me, I have a Switchback.

no it wouldn't; it'd still be smaller than the Touring bikes, most of which are too big for me.

Always liked the switchback but always felt like it was priced way to close to a road king to be a suitable choice for most buyers. Not surprised it's gone unfortunately

I'm not shocked the Road Queen was cancelled. As others have said, not svelte enough to be a Super Glide, not enough to be a Road King.

Sorry, there is a huge difference between a Dyna Frame, Suspension, Weight and the Touring lineup.

So If I took A Road King and pulled the bags, cruise and it was running a 103 then I'd have a Dyna?

This would be more like a Touring Dyna not a Switchback and probably priced higher than a Road King but I'd like to see a factory rendition. Although, I doubt Harley could do it for a reasonable price tag. Bobby12012 has gone extreme and I think this is an awesome example of a Touring Dyna. The battery box and Electrical box give it away as a Dyna but everything looks very proportioned. Crossover pipe even!

I mean, you have yours right? What's it matter? I'm pretty sure everyone that really wanted one got one. Otherwise they wouldn't have canned it.
