If your purse is banging around in your bagger, just stuff a blanket down there with it. That's what the old folks I ride with do.

The one I bought sat on the dealers showroom so long they put chrome wheels and chrome lowers on it to get it some attention. When I saw it with the chrome wheels I liked it! I test rode it and other than the vibration I wasn't used to(been on a vrod for 4 years)I loved the way it handled and looked. Missed the vrod speed but maybe one day HD will make a vrod touring bike.
The vibration has been fixed , put a tall boy seat on it, a tall LRS windshield, and I'm good to go. I did not want a SG, RK, or RG with all the extra geegaws. So it may not be for everybody but I'm happy with mine!

There seems to be this idea that everyone who owns a switchback secretly wanted a roadking. It's not true. As pointed out, the price difference is minimal.
I've had "big" bikes before. This time I didn't want one. I wanted a lighter bike that I could zip around on, yet still take a road trip every now and again. I mostly keep it stripped down, but when I'm in the mood I load it up and go.

Maybe, I thought he meant the switchback was a ladies bike. So I pointed out that if his purse was making noise on his rides he could put a blanket in his bag like other old folks do who ride touring bikes. 😉
