I ran across this article about the FLD from a couple months ago.
http://www.bikernetbaggers.com/pages...witchback.aspx
These guys cover allot of areas, objections, strong and weak points.
I was very impressed.
Not a sales pitch or bad mouth session.

"For everyone that has waited for a less bulky, purpose-built Bagger, Harley-Davidson has the 2012 Switchback. Based on the Dyna platform, the FLD in H-D nomenclature is a scaled down motorcycle that as Harley puts it, is a custom touring and cruiser motorcycle in one package. The Switchback, with her Road King-like appearance, carries the DNA of the company’s past "Convertible"optioned model offerings with removable saddlebags and windshield. However, unlike the past FXR-CONV, FXDS or FXDX quick changers this machine has a more distinct identity. Those other machines were more or less base models with the windshield and bags more an afterthought. While the Switchback shares its frame with the rest of the Dyna family it looks and feels more like a custom touring motorcycle belonging in the larger, and more expensive, Touring family."

what you posted seems to be the consensus on the switchback
from every motorcycle magazine/Internet article i have read..

the people that dis the bike by calling it a road queen or say buy a road king
and be done with it are either jealous or just plain ignorant, there was a great deal
of design that went in to this motorcycle and until they take the blinders off will never see it.
this bike not ony cruises, it handles too.....
