Default 2012 Switchback

Last November I bought a red one. While a lot of riders are going for the Club/Thug look, I'm going Retro.

Pretty cool. You should complete the look with spoke wheels and narrow whitewalls

It’s looking good.
White grips and white seat along with some white wall tires would complete the look.

That looks nice. Back before the FLD came out some would try to make a retro out of the regular Dyna’s. Here’s my Street Bob.
