bottom line.... any guys here ride a switchback? What says you?

Nope, no guys on this harley-dyna forum ride those.
If you have to ask, the answer is NO.

get a victory or kawasaki.

Switchback, Sportster and Deluxe.....

If you ride one of these is the same as if you ride your bike but with a back pack.
Or even worse, like when you have a buddy riding bitch behind you.

Wouldn't do that...

I didn't have the budget for a bagger, nor would it fit in my garage. I just pray that every time my wife pulls the Edge into the Garage she manages to stop when the little ball hits her windshield, lest the Dyna get's crushed.
