Why "of all things"? Surely it's well know that Sportsters are top heavy compared to BTs? That's why they corner so well.

IMAO the Switchback is the best of both worlds. I have at times pulled up to a light and didn't get my feet quick enough. I try to handle this like my old metric I had but I find 99% of the time there is zero handeling problems

I just believe the Dynas are the sweetest handling big twins on the road. Even better than my 883 Sporty.
