1. I rode it and it felt very clucky to me mostly from the new front end...defeats the reason for riding a Dyna IMHO.
2. When I get a bike that has bags on it I want all the other creature comforts as well...ie: fairing/radio and what not

I like the ideal of the bike and no doubt it serves a purpose.

Yeah, it defeats the whole bagger-to-stripped-in-seconds thing, which is a big part of the appeal.

I meant CLUNKY.
Almost like there was something wrong with it. Not sure if it was just THAT bike or if they are all like that.

I still don't get that some were saying that the vibes were related to the pipes. I don't see the nexus. I keep envisioning a tail wagging a dog thing. what am I missing?
Actually, I think the dual exhaust notion is a good idea and it's growing on me with bags covering them but those brackets exposed like that...blows the vibe like someone else posted. You go there, might as well go RK and get bag capacity. Even though I'm a bassani fan, I have to give credit to V&H for being bold enough to take a shot over the bow like that.
I think we are going to see lots and lots of after market stuff available as each company steps out and tries to capture whatever the soul of the fld is. I personally, keep changing my mind. LOL

Wonder why V&H doesn’t show the left side of the dual set up?
If the headers came in black the cross under pipe may be less
obtrusive.
Yes the bags would need to stay on; I plan to do that anyway.
Of course the $1000.00 more than a Slip-On means nothing if
it’s a must have.
Can’t wait to hear them.
