harley already had this bike before. in the early 2000s is was the FXDT

 

(quote)Hear what you are saying but other Dyna's don't come with a 103" motor.

Thats not true, the Fatbob, Wideglide, and Switchback all have 103"

 

Got to look at a couple and I like a lot of what they did with it. Cant wait to see one customized some to see how it can look.

The bags are kind of small but they flow good with the bike. I think it fills a need in the Harley lineup and seems like they are selling well already.

 

Apples to oranges style wise but twins for function.

 

More noticeable on a 103" motor than a 96" motor though; just making the point that the Switchback could be turned into a fairly quick cruiser with a little work.

I have two, '02 107" FLHT and '05 FXSTD; wouldn't trade either of them for any of the late models, including the Switchback.

I just think the Switchback is a unique model in an otherwise pretty boring Dyna lineup and a bit of a throwback to earlier days; the MoCo will sel a ton.

BTW, you would be missing the most cost effective upgrade by passing on the big bore upgrade. Cheapest increase in performance when measured in dollars per foot pound of torque and horsepower. Not only is the performance enhanced just becuase of the addtional displacement but the compression increase alone is a kick; compression = torque.

 

My bad, not a Dyna guy and wouldn't own a Fatbob or a Wideglide but would own a Switchback.

 

Looks and sounds like I need to ride to Tulsa an see one. But not right now. It's 111 here and it's a little warmer in the city.

 

Route 66 had one, but that was last Tuesday and I almost took it home. Not sure about Myers-Duran.

 

Wonder if those hard bags will fit on other dynas???

 

I would think that for the money you'd have to pay to get a set, plus the mounting hardware, it would be a lot of money for not much room.
