JMO, but, those sales guys sound like dumazzes. Business must be really great to talk down a bike your company is trying sell.

We sold all the ones at the store already...........Talk about a bunch of happy riders. We are waiting for our next load to arrive, as some of them are pre-sold with deposits on them. Super nibble with the 103 powering them.

I ride a bike, not an image. I like the Fatboy and the switchback. They aqre both great bikes, but for different purposes and people.

My fiance and our daughters were at cedar point this weekend and while we were checking out the area we stopped at McMahons.
They had a red model sitting right by the front door. The red looks great and overall I like the bike.
The bags are pretty small IMO and they will fill up quickly. My girl even commented that after stuffing in a leather jacket, you couldn't put much more in there. It would take both of the switchback bags to hold just the stuff in her bag, and i doubt I could put her half helmet in there when we park the bike.
I have the Corbin bags and they do hold a lot:
I had told her about the new Switchback and that it was sort of what a bunch of us have done...minus the front end for me.
Nice bike, but if you already have a Dyna, I would just add some bags and you are good to go...especially if the bike is already set up with goodies on it.

I am not one of those guy's that will buy into the thought that just because it's a 103, it's going to eat my bike alive...maybe on a drag strip, but not on the streets in real world situations.
I saw a bunch of posts from guys who wanted to trade in their 2009's, 2010's, etc. just to get the 103...proof that Harley knows how to market their stuff.
If I wanted more power, the first thing I would do is a cam swap...not a big bore. Especially if my bike were paid off!

That's what I did, 26H's. Mild cams but it runs great.
