Default 2012 SwitchBack

OK I'm brand new to Harley. Recently went on vacation in Kansas and rode 13 different bikes at Bobz Bikz (nice guy), after all that he suggested a Harley. Anywho couple of days later we went to the Plant in Kansas City MO. Saw the switchback and fell in love. Luckily it rides great. This is my first non metric bike. WOW what a ride. Got home to NC went to the dealer and they were just opening one up. Picked it up the same day Irene was hitting town. I'll have the first 1000 miles on it this weekend. I just can't stop. The geometry is spot on, great power. I did however order a new seat, and backrests due to arthritis. I also ordered engine guard for it. I drop it off Sunday for the first service and to get all the extras added to it. I'll post a couple of pics once I get it back. Yes I went with the Red

You know I'm not sure, as I said first Harley for me. I'm thinking its the one you see in the brochures with the driver backrest. I'll find out Sunday when I take it in to drop it off. I'll have them give me a copy of all the parts there is quite a few I've found out.

Switchbacksteve…
I’m really glad to read your response to the FLD 103.
The dealer told me in a few weeks for mine, that be Oct.
Be sure to post some pics of your mods.
