Default 2012 Switchback in for custom paint
I dropped it off last Saturday and its supposed to be ready tomorrow. Talked to painter today and he said he was getting ready to clear coat everything then reassemble. He was still hoping to be done tomorrow. I hope so I cant wait much longer.

I have seen only a couple of the Switchbacks that have been customized. They can look really nice. Make sure and post some pictures of the completed project.

I think the Switchback is an awesome bike. I would consider one for shorter (2/3 days) trips.

What type of paint job?
