What Bubba & Daddy said, all Switchback's use Throttle Cables, none are "By Wire.

I finally got a chance to lean on her a bit, in between upshifts, what did I hear?! The damn exhaust feedback from the movie ''bullitt'' I swear on a stack of bibles.......the mag wheels , the sound in between shifts...yup shoulda named it bullitt......But I think I just did,lol

 

Yup, that's my bad. I made an assumption that CANbus also incorporated TBW but looks like they're exclusive. When did TBW start on the Softails and if so, the Dyna's?

 

first year of the fat bob....I owned one! damn wire at the throttle body drank alot of electrolytic grease to keep it out of limp mode......noticed the wire to my 2012 is capped....hmmmmm.

 

here's a 2012 with 1500 miles....was it unloved, or loved to much to get it dirty?

FWIW, I took demo rides on FLHRCI and FLD back to back a few years ago. The Road King Classic was
silky smooth. Didn't care for the pushed forward riding on top ergos of that model nor weight distribution.

FLD was had everything I wanted except for the vibration though handlebars which caused my left hand to
turn numb. Wasn't as bad as the Dyna Street Bob with baby apes but more so than the Dyna Low Rider. I
am susceptible to the numb hands syndrome.

Ended up with used 2004 FLHRCI which was, to me, a good compromise btw the FLHRI and FLD. That
said, the Olympia 760 Men's Air Force Gel Gloves have definitely helped with the inherent vibration. It's
not as smooth as the 2009+ Road Kings yet smoother than the FLD.

 

guessing the 1st battery change coming for my 2012

I love my 2014. Yes I do drool over all the othe models, but only because they have a much wider variety of aftermarket parts and mods that you can make. However, I have been experimenting and learning. I am in the process of making my FLD a middleweight touring bike. I have a batwing fairing, a solo w/backrest driver seat, a passenger pilon seat enroute, a chopped tour pack and I am ready to get touring. Great size and weight and lots of power. It's all great! Keep riding and stay safe. Regards and Blessings.

 

[QUOTE=Tumbleweed103;18449158]sounds like your '' middleweight'' is gaining weight......I'd get better rear shocks at the very least, the dyna frame is not the best long hauler, jmho.

 

[QUOTE=rocket23;18449289]Except that there don't seem to be any options for the rear shocks. I wanted to get some Progressive's but there are no upgrades for the FLD. That is a weak spot. Since I don't do long distance rides with a passenger, it should not be a problem.
