that's a great deal. I bought my '12 FLD when they first came out and paid $18k out the door.

Thanks for all of the input. I am heavily leaning towards the Switchback now. I can get the standard black out the door for under $16K and will probably go that route.

I'm going to be a total poser, but oh well. They were running a sale on BK Friday where all "Harley" stuff in the store except bikes was 40% off. For Christmas I got a nice jacket, thermal gloves, summer gloves, and a 3/4 helmet with sun visor. I price compared to the the Honda dealer next door and he couldn't match thier one hour special pricing. I got everything for less than the MSRP of the jacket.

When the HJC version of my helmet was $125 on line, $140 at the Honda dealer, and $96 at the Harley store I couldn't help but pose myself. It's all in good fun!

The Switchback is the best value in the line up. It's also a very nice bike. If I needed a road bike, I'd have a Switchback in A heartbeat,

I agree. Just don't wear gay looking stuff and do ride a Dyna and you'll be fine, no matter what others may say.

Damn, if this bike turns out to be a 2012 then Im gonna feel ripped off since Gator got his for 14999.00 if its a 13 like the salesman said then I got a fair deal on it...
