Default Switchback battry box cannibalization?
Ok so the new Switchback is out. And I gotta say I really like the battery box.

Also chunky fenders on a Dyna are always cool.

But seriously, I might try and get one of those battery covers.

What's the little triangle below it?

That battery box was the first thing I noticed as well. Might have to see one up close before I'm sold on it though.

I am excited about the floorboards. Now I can order some to put on my fatbob. If they fit.

Not the bike for me but I like it for the new parts as I'm sure many others will, I also noticed the side covers, and I'm wondering if that is the stock seat with the BR added or if you need to buy the whole ($$$) seat?

That photo came from the HD custom accessories parts list. The chrome wheels don't come factory, either.

If you like that battery box, you would have loved the old FLH shovels.
