I'm no Dyna expert, but I've ridden 1/2 dozen or so.
The Dyna (most of them) will steer quicker than a Softail.
They do ride the corners better. A Dyna (might) be a tad smoother on the freeway.
The Softail's are typically more comfortable as far as sitting posn (seat-bars etc)
As far as an all day freeway and/or country roads etc ride, I'd rather ride my Heritage than a WideGlide. I like the fwd controls on the Dyna but after awhile, it's not as good as those floorboards But that's just me.
I never did try a Switchback.
I rode a friend's "48" last year. FUN!! But after an hour, it was gettin' old.

a Low Rider has a wider rake and does not handle like a Sporty...a Super Glide is closer. The Low Rider handles more like a Wide Glide...they tend to drift up in curves whereas the Super Glide tends to drift down...I have ridden all three and this is what I experienced. I am 6' 1" @ 280 and prefer the Super Glide with forwards over the Low Rider with forwards for legroom and long ride comfort.

One thing I am noticing is that 0-100kph my sporty is faster IMO.
The big 110 just digs a hole to china haha, I need more practice
The sportster to about 120kph with all the engine work I've done is proper fast, You can dial up revs to the moon, drop the clutch and it just launches with the front wheel 2-3 inches up for all of first gear.
What impresses me on the LRS is the roll on power, 60kph to jail time happens really fast!
Again, both fantastic bikes, different purposes. Both lots of fun!
