Default Mod of the day (lowered rear end)

Finally got around to lowering the rear end.
Took about an hour and a half (by myself).
I used the same kit I had on my last bike.
Not the cheapest but easy to install.

Lowered:


Looks much better:

I have never put them on a Deluxe but the link I posted says they will fit your bike.

I'm sure someone will chime in that knows or has done it.

Yep, they will work on a Luxe too. Im running the same kit (burnout cycles) on my 11 Luxe. I have mine slammed to the bump stop on the rear and a Progressive drop in kit in the forks.
