I like the Switchback, but for a few grand more I would rather have a Road King and when I am ready to move up from my FXDC the Road King is top on my list. I do like the ABS option on the FXDC though - wish that were the case when I bought my 2010 FXDC.

Yeah nothing that makes me wanna run out and buy a new one! And I see that the 103" is standard on all the softails & touring models and 3 of the dyna models. I feel bad for all the '11 touring guys that paid extra for the 103" option package only to find out its standard this year. Seems like the prices went up a few $$$ to cover the new standard 103" cause its definitely not for the paint!

The dyna tourer is only 15999....so they are aiming it directly at the Vic Cross series.
Smart move on the mocos part.... at that price, I would have bought one before I would have bought the cross roads

Not even a few grand. Only $1500.

I really like the idea of the FLD, seems like a great commuter and all-rounder. But I would have expected to be about $700 less.

Not really - bags are half the size and the Dyna isnt a touring chassis. I'd say its aimed more at things like the Road Star or VTX crowd.
