Is it just me, or is that thing just plain ugly and stupid looking? It just seems to be a real bad idea to me. Trying ot mix a Dyna and a Tourer is like cross breeding cats and dogs.
Stash905,
After reading all of the comments, looks like my original reply was spot on. It's just you. The bike is a winner and there aren't many that agree with your "ugly" assessment. Time for you to try and develope a sense of good taste because there does not seem to be many that share your "plain ugly and stupid" review of the bike.
Man, I sure didn't expect this to turn into this kind of thread. The bike just hit my sense of taste. I think it is clunky looking and a bad idea. Obviously, others like it. It is true, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Some people find my RG to be ugly and not a real Harley. That's fine. I'm sorry for stirring up such a **** storm here.

Stash, heres my view. Your ride the Road Glide, its a fantastic motorcycle. One of the best vehicles Harley has ever produced, but I'm one of those who thinks its hands down the ugliest motorcycle sold by the MOCO.......but thats nothing but my opinion. The point is, if we all liked the same bike, Harley would only make one motorcycle. I think the switchback is sharp.
Don't take all the replies personal. Its all in good fun.

I think it is good looking bike and will sell, was talking to a friend the other day and he wanted to trade for a touring bike but he is not very tall and this would be a good bike for him,
