    Harley has a new model in their line up its the Dyna Switchback, a convertible FLH-style Dyna with quick-detach hard bags and windshield. The Switchback, is outfitted with a 103ci engine as standard equipment. The 103 boasts 100 lb-ft of torque, an increase of 6 percent over the 96ci engine from years past. Similar to the CVO Softail Convertible, the Switchback allows users the option of around-town cruising or long-distance touring.

    Saw one at the dealer and it has lockable bags that also remove from one point. Good looking bike to. Would make a great touring bike for some of the ladies and smaller framed guys.

    Looks like a Road King. I like it, looks like it can be stripped to the minimum in a cleaner way than the King.

    Yep, they made it so that someone can stripped to a plain bike.

    looked at it on their website, definitely got me interested. Will have to make the trip to a dealer to see in person. Definitely like the detachable shield and bags, and the beefy looking ront end. may have to put it on my wish list for a new bike:D

    When I was at the dealer the other day, I looked over the new switchback they had. Red, like the one in the pic. If I was into baggers that would be the one for me - I really liked it - sort of a scaled down version of the full dressers. Man, Harley has the best paint jobs!
