All great suggestions.I have a Heritage and love it.But I would recommed the Super Glide,used or new.Best bang for the buck.Pick up a used windshield and some bags here and u got the best of both worlds when wanted and needed.

if i were limited to a choice between the wideglide and the switchback i'd take the switchback. im not a huge fan of the pizza cutter and additional rake on the wideglide.
the switchback is a nice bike but im not a fan of look of the hard bags.

based on my test rides and preferences
i opted for the fatbob. and it just felt like it was the most stable at low speeds and in corners. and i like the wider front tire visually.

after that the superglide was next. and for the 3k difference between the superglide and the switchback i can get my own windsheild/bags/floorboards and still come out ahead in the cost.

the switchback wasnt much different ride wise ( from the superglide) but in my head if im buying a switchback i'd just save a little more and buy a road king.

Hey guys,

I think I owe you the information on what I ended up buying.
It was love on second sight, really. In the beginning, I liked it the least of all Dynas. Then, after a while, this baby turned out to be the only one I kept thinking of.

So happy! :-)

Frank

That is a great choice. Nice ride, good brakes, comfy too. You can add a removable windshield and a backrest/luggage rack combo for trips (see my signature pic) or keep it light as in the picture. A very wise buy. Good Luck!
