I want one and saw one at the dealer today, it wasnt set up yet, they had just taken it outta the box.
Was going to talk fiqures but the 2 sales guys were busy.
I have a question though, do you have to replace the whole seat to get a pasenger backrest?

Upon rereading your post I see you are getting a riders backrest, but still would like to find out about the passenger

Yes you can add the riders backrest without changing the seat

Cool, I couldnt sit on the one at the dealer today because the winshield was still strapped to the seat.
I will be going to the dealer tuesday and am going to try to trade my heritage on the switchback, if this bike had been out when I got the heritage I would have bought one then.
Alot of folks say get a king for the little difference in price, well I sat on a roadking today and I cannot flat foot on and I also like the ability to strip this bike down and it looks sweet stripped or loaded.
Hope you enjoy it and if I can work a deal next week I know I will.

It looks like in your picture that you have a Heritage also, so my question is what brings you to the switchback?
My reason #1 is I dont like the counterbalanced motor in my heritage.

If you hold you cell long ways you can fit the whole bike in one picture

The other bike in the pic is my RKC this one is just so much different from the RKC but I will continue to tour with the RKC and use the Switchback for shorter trips

Congrat's! I saw one today in Daytona and it is a nice bike that I think will sell well also b/c of what you get for the price. Looks like it has a flhx fender and a RK light. The only thing I didn't like was the brushed aluminum covers on the primary (but like any other Harley everything is changeable)
I also saw that new red, not a fan of red in the past but like this new color. Also like the Blue a White on other models
