Hi all-

I just picked up a brand new 08 softail deluxe in white gold pearl / black pearl. She's a beaut! My last ride was an 06 883L / 1200 conversion. The dealer gave me a great trade offer towards the deluxe.

I love the deluxe. I also have some questions. I notice that sometimes while riding at a steady speed or decelerating I feel a little bouncing in the front end. I had a harley tech ride it and he thought it was perfectly fine. It doesn't wobble, but I just seem to have some light bouncing. i have no problems keeping a straight line and the bouncing isn't rough, just a gentle up and down of the forks while riding. normal feedback from the road?

appreciate the feedback.

I don't think it's anything to worry about.

 

That's called the:" Happy Butt Bounce"
Your bounce for joy having a new ride ... LoL

 

Sportster vs Deluxe? Just a heavier bike. You'll get use to it.

 

need pics.... sounds nice i have an 07 myself and noticed the front end seems to have too much play in the hydraulic system, but i am no mechanic...

 

Throw some SE Heavy fork oil in that SOB. I have it in mine, and my forks are like a F'N BRICK!

 

I think your go'na like it

 

Congrats! You'll like it a lot better than the Sporty...

 

Ahh rob i you have such GOOD taste!
