I didn't even know what a Switchback was until I test rode mine! Now I love it, faster than my old Softail and lighter than my old Road King and handles way way better than both. Probably the most versatile big twin Harley ever made and comfy for me at 6'. Loving your videos - keep em coming.

I sound like a dork.. I was so damn excited to be able to finally touch properly that I didn't know how to act 😆 Also the "did you see that? I didn't have to lift my feet"... At the end of the driveway I always just lifted my feet and let it roll and hoped it had enough momentum lol If it stopped at the door in the drive, I had to ride the bike back up and try again because I couldn't reach to push it into the road. And never before was I able to back the bike up all the way into the road 👍🏻

That's bad ass!! How did it do with bags installed? Do they hit the exhaust now that the bike is lower? Do you think they would if it still had stock exhaust?
@bigshow65 2 жыл бұрын
I am so sorry. I am just now seeing this comment. The bags fit perfectly with no issues, the rear tire Articulates on the swing arm so the bags and exhaust stay the same, they don't move. They get lower to ground but stay at the same point on the bike..but no she hasn't dragged anything.

Did the shocks make a difference in the ride quality? I put Burly Slammer shocks on a '06 Dyna and it rode so badly I went back to the taller shocks. (I'm 5'3") What brans is the fairing?
@bigshow65 2 жыл бұрын
Fairing is a reckless fairing. As for the shocks, they give did up some of the ride quality, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Now, at this moment, we no longer have those progressive 412 shocks on her switchback. I put a very inexpensive air ride on her bike. I am actually in the process of making an updated video on how and why. If you want to check back, the video will live in about a week, depending on my work schedule.
