the transmission pan is always like that on dynas
if you strip the frame I bet you can tell if it is bent if you put it on a table
if you are unsure if it is bent you might be able to find a old school shop that can put it on a frame jig to check it out
worst case scenario is an aftermarket frame, it would be titled as special construction and legally not a Harley but a lot of badass bikes start off this way.

If your frame survives that will save you a bunch of $$ and time, but I would have a good look at the fork tubes....they are 41mm and you can replace them with any 41mm tubes...the lower legs should be ok....
I think the oil pan is ok, they tend to stick out a bit.
i have a Switchback in my garage plus a Superglide that is turning that way, did a custom front end on it if you need help with measurements etc let me know

The original 71 Super Glide( which the Dyna evolved from) was a touring bike frame with Sportster front end. Putting the big bike front end on a Dyna, to me is like trying to put the bike back to a Touring bike(FLH) so, its kinda silly, but yes, a bit "Smaller" frame wise these days.

I’d like to put a slim front fender on my switchback but when reading online it says the mounting brackets for the slim fender have a distance of 7” from outside to outside. When I just measured my switchback the mounting brackets in the stock fender are 6 9/16”. Do the slim brackets have to be bent a little bit?? Thanks
