IMO the Switchback is one of the coolest looking bikes HD has put out in the last 20-30 years. I don't understand why they didn't sell better than they did.

Got any pics of your new baby from the side view?

Yes it is, it's gone now.It was fun for 2 years but it was going to buy me a very expensive ticket. I changed to a 25 Triumph Speed Twin 900 as my FLD's little brother.
