Long before the Switchback came out, I had always said that I wished the Moco made a "Dyna Electra Glide", which is what the Switchback essentially is. But, what killed it for me was the Gawdawful wheels; if they had spokes I mighta plunked down the Bennies for one. never see 'em in the wild here.

I was going to buy one but changed my mind at the last moment. The wheels are ugly but not a deal breaker and you can always switch them out.

LOL!! I was actually being serious. Not that I don't think a guy can have one, on the contrary, I was actually contemplating buying a 2012 Switchback before I made this purchase. I like the vintage appeal they have. Sorry if I offended you or anyone, that was not my intention.
