Default switchback vs. FXDC shocks
Are the switchback shocks shorter than those on the FXDC? I like the covered look and supposedly they have a better ride(?)

The Switchback has 2.1" of play in the rear. The 2012 Super Glide has 3.1" of play in the rear. The SB shocks are nitrogen-charged. I have never rode a SB but I have a 2011 Super Glide and love the ride.
