Default Duo Glide

Two questions please:
1) Is the Switch Back the same wheel base as the 50s-60s Duo Glide?
2) Is it just a Dyna in Duo Glide skin?

answer to 2. is YES - this is a dyna with a FL front end basically. I did the same thing to an old shovel FXE and it now looks just like a 60s duo-glide thanks to old tins

Not sure of the measurements, but my FX frame was same wheelbase as my old 59 FLH if that helps, not sure much has changed
