Default '14 Deluxe Latest Minor Upgrades

'14 Deluxe Latest Minor Upgrades:
C&C Fastback Seat, stitched leather, much more comfortable and a tad farther back than their solo.
Ginz Choppers Sissy Bar & mounting hardware. I like the design and easy off feature from the mounting hardware.
Cryon LED 881 Passing lamp bulbs, big friggin difference than stock and as you can see much brighter than the truck lite. To me the truck lite was a bad design due to it not being very visible in daylight but I'll live with it for now. It does light up the road at night.
EDIT: Forgot about the horn relocation to the down tubes cross member. That lil 2.5" horn may not be an air horn but it's loud for it's size...heheh

Great looking Deluxe! Love the look of your C&C saddle do they claim that it will sit you back from factory issue? I would agree their standard seat is just a tad to close for my liking.

Love the color of your bike! I also have a question about that seat. Do you mean it will sit you back farther than C&C's solo?

C&C seats sit you farther back and lower than the stock seat. Yes, big difference. I've owned a couple of their solos, different bikes.

thnx for the color compliment. It's what HD calls Amber Whiskey & Briiliant Silver. I will say it took me awhile to get use to it...*laffs
I've owned a couple of the C&C solos, different bikes. Thought I'd go for this Fastback and glad I did. It's much more comfortable due to the lumbar support and seems to sit me a just a tad farther back than the solo. It does sit you at least as far back and as low as the solo, for sure. Talk with Chuck at C&C, great guy to work with.

Took several hours to decide between that color and the one we got - it is a great color.

Been thinking about taking off my hubcap too...

Good looking bike you have...

Yours a '14 Deluxe with ABS? Spacer kit is HD #43300010, I had the indy do it but ended up with a slow speed shimmy with their aftermarket spacer. I had to get HD's spacer kit.
EDIT: Harley parts > for the bike > year/model > wheel spacer kit in the search bar. You'll have to flip through the kits until you find the correct one for your year/model/abs or not.

Next upgrade the freight train nacelle. I've been puttin that off to last, I like the wind shield in the colder months or up on the interstate but I realize now my choice with the Carlini Pist apes was wrong for what I intended. I thought they would be perfect for the windshield, I was wrong. I should have went with the panty droppers and said damn the windshield. Just ramblin this eve...caught a buzz, maybe my mind give someone else some insight.
EDIT: Who know hen I diss the big shots and throw the tru duals on. Hope it's soon > laffs
