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.

That is about the classiest retro-style bike I've seen...tempted to try and go that way with my FXDF...clean and usable...

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!

Nice job. Looks great with those few changes.

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.

Looks Very Cool with the trunk!

The third photo is the best looking Switchback I've seen.

That is some awesome photography.....really!

Damn fine looking bike.

Your EVO comment made me smile. Going to the local chapter ride today and will be the only EVO there (all be it injected) as usual....and will envy NO-ONE!

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. 😉
