Default New dyna switchback

I'm from over in the touring forum, former 93 Dyna Low Rider owner, saw the new Switchback at dealer, nice bike but in my opinion they really missed the boat w/ the wheels think would look alot better w/ spokes those mags just don't fit the look of the bike. Just my 2 cents.

So there are like 40 other threads on the Switchback and you felt the need to create yet another one for that? Oh Brother.....

So there are like 40 other guys on this forum that are jerks, and you felt the need to create yet another one for that? Oh Brother....... This guy acts like he has to pay for each thread started. Relax. At least there is new talk rather than reading the same crap.

I agree about the switchback. different wheels would help the bike out.

Yea that search thing is a real tough thing to use. And to be honest there are so many Switchback threads and So many people feel the same as you about the wheels, it's just nothing new. If you took 1 minute to have looked you would have known. But hey... Have a nut man. Rinse and repeat...your hissy off

Well some of us here have sand in our vajayjays because of the girls bike-roadqueen crap. LOL I have a 2002 FLD kinda and there are several others here that recognized the dyna with fat fenders and front end would resemble the pan-shovel FL IMO the prettiest harley ever. I also agree that spokes would look better although the mags aint that bad with the black sheetmetal.

So, the OP came here just to say that he doesn't like the mags on the new FLD?

So, when you buy one, what's stopping you from saying "hey, I want different wheels." and then having them installed before you take delivery.

My guess is you liked the bike overall if the only thing you could rag about was the mag wheels.

Wait a minute....I seem to remember a good number of touring bikes coming stock with mag wheels.

I'm calling Bravo Sierra (BS for short) on this post.

I am just glad they added to the line-up rather than deleted. I saw one on the road the other day (bright and sunny) and it looked great!
