Default Dyna Switchback

Anyone else running the Switchback? How do you like it? Any tips or tricks I should know about? I've only had my 2015 for a few months, and it is my 1st bike ever. I think it's great and a fun bike.

I don`t have a Switchback but I did swap out my stock FXDC bars and risers with Switchback bars and risers. Does that count?

I have a 2014 Switchback. Luv the bike.
Had to do a few mods to get is set up right.
The biggest one, a full exhaust system change.
The stock exhaust system transfers way to much vibration to the bike.
Also tried a Memphis Shades Batwing for a few seasons.

Nice bike! What exhaust did you go with? How do you like the fairing?

Are you kidding me, your first bike ever! What a way to start bike ownership/riding on a nice Harley, very cool, very cool! I can imagine how that feels

Had a 2012 for a few years before trading in for a SGS.
Great bike and very nimble in the mountains. Loved mine!

Went with Cobra "Speedster Short Swept" paired with a V&H Tuner 3.
The "batwing" fairing is Memphis Shades, painted to match the bike.
Didn't mind the fairing, but went back to the windshield. Better field of vision up front.
