A perfectly executed and tasteful redesign. The cherry on top could be the 1958-1960 oil tank emblems to match the 1960 gas tank badge.

Deluxe is taken- truly the Queen . We know what the King is. AFMM3 rides the Ace along with the the the rest of the FLD/ FL dyna guys that add tasteful mods in order to to fix 'em up right. We've had the Softail Duece. In keeping with poker royalty Blueangel dubbed it the Jack or "Jackster". In harley's alphabet soup I Like the FLX.

Took it on a shake down run after work. Weather was right. Cruises nicer then I thought it would-much better than with the 19" up front. Let go of bars at 65mph for a moment or two. Stays straight and true.

Then I caught a leprechaun trying to steal it!

Hmmm...thought it was the new XLF. But it looks dang good though.

Looks like those leprechauns are running amuck in NorCal again.

Thanks guys. If the wife ever wants to step up to a bigger bike this ones staying in the family. She's happy with the 883 though.
