Default I want a Switchback!!

Love my 08 FXDC, but I love the pseudo-vintage look of the switchback with its touring capabilitles. I'm not a fan of wasting my $$ trying to turn my bike into what it is not...but can I justify selling my bike and shelling out 7k for a switchback??

I would think you could do a lot to your bike for 7k........such as bags, a windshield, wheels, new headlight, exhaust..........





But if you just want a new bike, do it.

I dig them, the wheels look cool.

Quite happy with mine. Comfortable solo or 2-up. The cat does get HOT but that would be my biggest complaint. I could easily solo cross country on this bike, no problem. Long distance 2-up would take some creative packing as the bags are smaller. Kurt

Mine is everything I expected and more.
2500 miles later and my attraction is increasing by the mile.

I can't say it would compare because this is my first H-D bike. But, I've had my Switchback about a week now and I love it.
