Am a long time rider (40+ years), frequent visitor to the touring section of this forum, and also a new Dyna owner. Just added a red Switchback to my garage about 300 miles ago - the deal included a dealer installed SE Ventilator, SE "Nightstick", and the required download. I have to hand it to the Motor Company on this one...they did their homework. This is the first motorcycle that I have ever owned (ever!) where I haven't felt the need to immediately change something with the suspension or ride height or seat before being happy with the set-up. The bike handles great and runs great. The only "wish" I have is that the motor mounts in this Dyna controlled the shakes as well as the mounts do in the Electraglides. Very satisfied with this motorcycle - it feels just like a motorcycle should!

 

now that's a really fast switch mode !

I have ridden all HD types. My second new Harley is a 2011 FXDC, Dyna SuperGlide Custom. But I still wanted some cruising comfort and storage capacity so I did some bolt-ons: Fairing with stereo and amp for MP3 or iPod, with 2 different height windshields, hard bags, trunk, highway bar, pegs, front fender.
I now have a very able cruiser, yet also lightweight, sporty and manageable.
I'd like to add lighting up front and running lights at rear for greater visibility.

 

We gotta wait until November to get them in Australia, I have the red one on order

 

I like what you have done to yours.

 

you'll love it..

 

You seem to be very happy with the bike, this is the feedback I would expect from this model. I think they did a great job with the bike, there are just a few things I would change to suit my liking.

 

I think that I have to test ride one. Alas, I just bought a Street Bob so ...

 

I agree that front fender is way to big

 

plenty of room for a giant wheel and tire no?
