progressive 430's
As stated in another thread, I put a set on my switchback last week, love em.
They made one that is model specific and have a lifetime warranty.
The front end in the switchback used to clank (seemed like it was bottoming out) and were spongy to me.
I'm about 6' and 210 lbs.
Changed those out to racetech flat wound springs and day and night difference. I kept the stock fld cartidge system though. Couple those springs with these 430's and you will love it.
...just another idea for the fld, performance-wise AND looks.

That is a f-ing sweet ride, my man. Absolutely nails the late '60's/early '70's stripped FLH look. Very sharp.
I don't think there are too many really modded switchbacks...
Here is mine so far, I say so far because I still have a ton more to do:
21" front wheels ( on the way)
Lowered front end
Arnott air ride and blocks so I can drag the ***
Gloss black out all of the chrome
I would LOVE to have stretched bags but no one makes them, does anyone know some who stretched the factory bags?
