The Harley-Davidson Dyna nobody wanted was probably one of the best steals in all of the Harley-Davidson line up that was completely over looked. The Dyna Switchback had everything, and I mean everything. This bike was anything you wanted it to be from a cruiser to full on touring bike. You could take a Dyna Switchback and take the touring to the next level with dual exhaust, bat wing fairing and a stereo. They weighed less than a full on touring model and arguably rode just as well if not better!

Do you or have you owned a Swithcback? What are your thoughts on the Switchback compared to the touring models?

@kendallstout3403 Год назад

Had one, loved it, except the seat, couldn't stand it for more than 10 miles at a time, killed my lower back, even with a different seat

@Nobody-xh5qe Год назад

Handle better than the bigger bikes enough room in the bags I can carry what I need it's a really good ride till about 60 mph and it gets a little too much vibration for my liking.

@mkeenan67 Год назад

Owned a Switchback for 3 seasons, thinking it would be good for short in town trips + weekend overnights. Bad decision. In town it was just boring, about as plain Jane as they come. On longer trips, I couldn’t ride it for more than an hour or two. Suspension was lacking, weak acceleration, and the turbulence was intolerable. The dyna was never meant to tour. At the time my dad had a Road King so I got to ride them back to back, man what a difference. Plush, good wind protection, and decent power. Later I spent some time touring on a Road Glide… also a nice bike. I wound up trading in the Switchback for a BMW R 1200 RT and warped into the 21st century… but that’s another story.

I purchased two Switchbacks just before Covid, to use for guests to ride at our AZ home in the winter. Only paid $7,000 per bike, Bone stock, and mileage was under 6k miles. Best HD value ever! Added batwing fairings and we’ve done 350-400 mile days with no problem.

Dyna's were intended for the twisty especially the FXDL , it Lay's down real well especially when comparing to FXDWG which is just a Cruiser for tooling down the road taking in the scenery ! I put approximately $6,000.00 into my 2001 Dyna low Rider , cams , Mikuni 45 , 95 BIG Bore , Thunder header , dual disc up front , and forward controls , one and 1/4 Chubby drag bars, mini scissy bar. Drive it like you stoled it ! L.O.L. Power in and power out ! Not , for the weak at heart...get on shut up ! And hold on....LL KOOL RAY 😎 FRISCO FOOL ! I THOUGHT YOU KNEW ! Black , and chrome a real midnight marauder , oh' yeah remove the stock directional signal went with Whisker license plate w/ blinkers in frame .And the front stock blinkers removed and put sleek minute blinkers on fork tube for a cleaner streamline look

@CactusJack252 Год назад

The issue with the switchback was the cost. For what Harley was charging, you could get a heritage softail for the same money.

@GixxerFoo Год назад

I would say Harleys angle on that is the hard bags and detachable accessories.

The sport glide softail shares the same fate... It's sad because it's a good bike and is a big influence if not a precursor to the low rider ST "style" . They will never be ST bags , they are sport glide bags rookies.

@tombrocco5377 Год назад

People say it's a bike made for women or it's a Road Queen. They say real men need to ride big heavy Glides or Road Kings. So guys end up buying a bike that's too big and heavy for them to handle, so they either crash it or quit riding it and just let it sit. I say don't listen to what anyone else says. Buy a bike that you can handle and that you're comfortable riding. I sold my 2020 Yamaha MT-09 that was a veritable rocket and bought a 2012 Switchback last year. With the lower center of gravity on the Switchback I can flick around the 718 pound Harley just as easily as I could the 420 pound Yamaha. I have had two Electra Glides in the past and to me the Switchback is just as good and a hell of a lot cheaper. I'm almost 70 and have been riding motorcycles since I was 15. So I can picture myself riding the Switchback for many more years and miles. Keep up the awesome work GixxerFoo.

@DOCFWH 7 месяцев назад

Your comments encourage me about a Switchback. I'll be 70 in May. I now ride a 2006 Vulcan Classic 900 (577 lbs.). I was concerned about the extra weight of the Switchback. There are a couple for sale in my area, and I've seriously thought about buying one. Thanks for your insights. Ride safely and enjoy!

@georgewetzel4380 Год назад

I thought the Switchback and Sport Glide were great ideas.

@GixxerFoo Год назад

I love that Sport Glide too, they were both some neat ideas but for whatever reason neither one sold worth a crap.

@brenthill3241 Год назад

To me it was the reintroduction of the original style Electra Glide that ran its course back in the early 80's when it gave way to the tri mount Tour Glide frame. Who knows how history would have gone had it been available as a platform in 1980 as opposed to 1990. Buyers would have noticed a huge difference in ride comfort and handling from the old FL/FX frame. I was blown away the first time I test rode series one Dyna and like many people preferred it to the FXR. I still have yet to test the later Dynas but for me they always looked like a solid platform. Not perfect with the swing arm on the trans but a great overall bike.

Not a bad bike nor is the Duece, but I'd look like a monkey f@*king a football riding either, (6'2 / 235lbs).

@tomster70 11 месяцев назад

I had some lower back issues and the lower weight was a selling point for me. Also, i liked that you could have a couple different looks depending on how you needed it! Minus long haul trips, the Switchback checked most of the boxes for me! I think Harley marketed it wrong. They sold it as a step up from Sportster or a bike for women. I thought it had that ole FL kind of look and those 5 spoke wheels had a hotrod feel to them! I still get compliments on the bike and mine is a 2012. I would have loved to see an oversized saddle bag developed. And now it's hard to find any of the accessories that Harley had out for them anymore. Don't see me parting with mine!

@geraldscott4302 Год назад

Just not my style. I've never owned a Dyna, but I have something better. A 1989 FXRS Low Rider. I have put tens of thousands of touring miles on it. It's not a bagger. It doesn't have that big huge front fender, or fat front tire, or a windshield. It has a stock style staggered dual exhaust on the right side. I do have a set of hard leather saddlebags for it, that mount with Easy Brackets, and they spend most of the time off the bike. It's not the Street Glide type of touring bike. It's the kind of touring bike that you strap a bedroll to the sissy bar and hit the road on, Easy Rider style. I never had any interest in Winnebago style touring.

What I liked most about the Switchback are the hardbags. They fit all Dynas 2006-2017. In 2006 I got a pair of vivid black Switchback hardbags dirt cheap. I was going to flip them. Soon after that I got a real great deal on a single owner low mileage 2007 Dyna. It's vivid black. I put the Switchback bags on the Dyna and love it. I kept my stock fender and stabilized the bags with a saddlebag lower bracket off of early dresser saddlebags. Harley should have had Switchback saddlebags with a mounting kit for all the Dynas in their catalogs.

@dbwgoblue74 Год назад

I own a 2016 Switchback with the 103 High Output and a Vance & Hines True Duals exhaust. Other than that, it's very much stock, it was a steal of a deal and I absolutely love it!

I can't wait to swap out some parts - I have handlebars, lighting and suspension in mind, as well as many cosmetic upgrades - and really make it my own!

Had a '16. Worst thing was vibration caused by the way the exhaust was mounted. There were "fixes" to lessen it, but it IS a Dyna. Went into a dealer one day after a few beers and walked out with a '18 Heritage and its a good bike overall, but yeah, I miss the Switchback.

@jamessouthworth1699 Год назад

In my opinion what killed the sales of this bike is that Harley priced it too close to the Road King so many of the buyers that looked at this bike opted to spend a little more and hop on the road king. It's a shame because this could have been a great seller if Harley wasn't so hell-bent on squeezing every last penny out of their customers.

@zacharyrib 5 месяцев назад

I currently own one and it's a love hate relationship. I bought it during covid and didn't know if I was going to become a hardcore rider. So, first thing I wish I knew about the unbalanced engine this has. It starts to vibrate at a bad frequency a 2200 rpms and right up my spine. Replaced the seat and it helps a little. Also, my feet vibrate ridiculously at normal cruising speeds. Rode a buddies Street-glide and it's silky smooth. I really don't use the "Switchback" Features much either. Just makes it easier to clean the hard to reach spots. And I just think I'm ready for touring without the buffeting from around the gas tank. I rode it 600 miles and the amount of gas stops where needed but at the same time annoying. If I just bought a touring bike I'd be comfortable longer and not need to stop so much. It has a 4.7 gal tank and gets 175 miles to every refill. I tend to fill it early cause the gauge looks lower the the tank really is. I love the 103 especially after I installed the Vance and Hines FuelPak tuner. Previous owner put the Vance and Hines Slash cut Dual exhaust and a K and N heavy breather air filter on it and it was burning kinda lean so the tuner woke this baby up so much! Love the power of the 103! The lack of dual front brakes is noticeable when two up but fine when your alone. And the small tire diameters make bumps feel more rough. And I don't want to spend the money on after market rims and tires for it. Just doesn't feel right to spend the money on a half assed touring bike that doesn't tour comfortably for me. IMO. Someone else might find it to be the perfect mix of features. Well, I'm done ranting about the switchback, I think. Love your videos. Keep them coming.

Owned a 2013 model and thought it would be great for touring. I was wrong! It did not stand up to what I put it through. It was lighter but just couldn’t handle the miles. I loved the motor but it was hooked to a Dyna. Dynas are not touring bikes and I final bought a Road King then a Road Glide and never looked back! Friend of mine has one now and he hates it.

I'm looking at a 2014 Switchback is there anything I need to look at in particular any problem areas to pay attention to? If I get it I want to put an Advanblack ST faring on it

@GixxerFoo Месяц назад

They were built with the latest Twin Cam 103, best version of that motor. Nothing specific like you would want to know on a 96 or 88. Just a good going over like you would any used bike but nothing absolutely destructively glaring.

@@GixxerFoo OK so one 2013 Dodge Challenger going and 2014 switchback coming this should be a lot lighter than my old 2003 FLHTCUI but that was a good bike verry little issues

I knew as soon as I saw the thumbnail it was going to be about the Switchback. I loved that bike and would own one myself. I loved that they looked like a slimmer Road King.

Turbulence was the reason I rarely road it. At the time I had a 2019 Road King and the 2016 SB. The turbulence was unmanageable over 70, but, I am an old guy. LOL

I'm in the process of turning my 07 Superglide Custom into a Switchback. The first thing I did was swap the rear fender, added the hard bags, and swapped the front end, all with Switchback parts. I have the Switchback 2 into 1 exhaust, and purchased a Flash Gordon muffler pipe, but still need to remove the cat before installing. I recorded the front end install and plan on posting here on youtube some day. Excellent content you have, keep up the good work.

I really like it. I have only seen one, maybe. I'm surprised they weren't more popular. I think they're cool.

I had a 2014 Switch back and I hated it - It did not handle good at all - it ran very well though - I put a Bassani 2 into 1 and a Vance n Hines tuner. I also have a 06 Road King which I chose to keep. The Switch Back was lighter than the RK but it did not give me that confident feeling while riding.

Picked up a 2012 in black last year. Haven't needed to do much but as the weather gets cooler, I'm gonna add the batwing, it's already setup up and tuned stage one, V&H 2-1, and a few other things. I like the bike alot, the simplicity of it, not flashy, quick, and fairly unnoticeable. I've always owned Dynas, because I don't like baggers, but this bike stops to me and has me looking at the Heritage classic now.

@stevenshoemaker4375 Год назад

Love my fxdwg 100th anniversary, 48k miles running strong and won't ever get rid of it. RG is my next option to have best of both worlds

Hold onto that bike! Those are some awesome machines, I wish I would of bought a 2016 when I had the chance to!

@atcjoe1600 Месяц назад

Funny, I’m thinking of a switchback for a touring bike to upgrade from a sportster ( I want to save money to afford an antique H-D)

@fredsmith8940 2 месяца назад

Well at 80 years old and after four broken backs causing my legs to be weak, the 2014 Dyna Switchback keeps me on the road. I think it is a great bike, lots of power, easier to get my legs over, and just happy that Harley chose to make it. As of 2024 it only has 16,000 kilometres but I can still get out to ride when my back allows me. Better than not riding at all! I wouldn’t be able to handle the bigger heavier cruisers!

@stevecrawford7814 Год назад

I don’t like Dyna frames after 2005, had 2008 street Bob, handled like shit, wobbled a lot. I got a 2003 Superglide, handles great.

The Switchback was so underappreciated in so many ways, that was an awesome bike and they are hard to find!

@akasa231 11 месяцев назад

I've owned My 2012 Switchy for nearly 10 years ( only about 40 sold here in the U.K.) the only criticism I really have is the position of the rear brake reservoir..!
