nice bike hog...do those grips vibrate in yor hands? a buddy of mine had those grips on his lowrider and had to change them cause the vibration was killing him, making his hands go numb.

just wondering

I haven't really noticed. I always wear gloves so I guess I don't feel if there is any vibration.

sweet

Still lots of work to do and things to change.

Hey saw, mind if I ask who's bags those are and the size of them? I'm getting ready to order some bags from leatherworks.

boss bags they are the 42's

www.bossbags.com


just click on the link. they've got lots of pics of deluxe's with the bags.

best bags i've ever owned. THey are removable but with this size (their biggest) a bracket stays mounted on the big after removal of the bags. All other sizes I believe you're left with no bracket after removing the bags. good luck

thanks, I knew I seen them somewhere....

Hi CJ

Great bike

What kind of highway pegs are you using on the nostalgia engine guards?

HD catalog only has a few that fit.

Did you need to get a special clamp for them?

Thanks

Hi JT

What highway pegs do you have on the engine guards?

BillyJax-

They're HD Chrome & Rubber Custom Footpegs, SKU #50500-03. The mounting kit is the HD Chrome Billet Engine Guard Footpeg Mounting Kit, SKU #50957-02A. Very easy to install, they look great, and feel great! THANKS

Hey Luxe,
Great looking bike. You really put some work (& $) into it. That dash panel extension looks awesome (nice & clean). I just went running to my catalog but didn't find it -- where did ya get it ?

It is HD #71202-03. I also added the speedo visor# 74661-04. I have really enjoyed this bike, the customizing as well as the riding. I am really looking forward to spring.

Thanks Luxe,
Yea, I've got the speedometer cover on already - without it the speedometer didn't have a finished look (the grooves around the speedometer just didn't look right). I had a number of people over yesterday -- showed them the picture of your dash insert & then showed them what came on my Deluxe -- the all agreed your's looks a whole lot better - I'm going to get one next week.

Luxe, do you have a close up on the speedo trim? Thx.

This is about as close as I have



local://upfiles/7535/F644B4BFD8E94BB7A33A91771E5EF68B.jpg

It sucks that the Deluxe does not get the white & black nostalgic faced speedometer inn Canada, it's not available in metric.

Hey guys,

Finally got around to filling out my signature and adding a pic of my scoot. This was taken the day after I rode it home from the dealer. It's already got some new chrome on it. I've got the Stage I and V&H Bigshots staggered on order along with the Fuelpak that I'll install hopefully next weekend. I'll get morfe pics and change my sig after the pipes are on.

THE SEAT???? I'm sitting on the rear portion of the seat for maximum comfort. I'm only 5'11" and the seat is okay unit I get more than a few miles in the saddle and want to really relax. I don't want to change it yet because it's not "terrible"...I'm thinking I'll get used to it since IT IS my first cruiser of any kind.

Billy,

If you're asking me, mine is the tall, smoked, nostalgia windsheild.

Is that rear topuring pack easily on and off? Also, what did it run you including all hardware? Nice bike. :D

Around 5 bills. I switch back and forth pretty often. For day trips and possible rain, we take the tour pack, short trips - we use the back rest. Alone, I ride open. I like the pack better than a T-Bag. Probably for the look and convenience. BLKPRL.

Put me some new bags on today, just showing them off.

Here's a couple of pic's of my wife's 06 Deluxe with Wild1's 508's and bags from an FLSTS. She wanted the bigger bags in this style and it took some fabrication to get the saddlebag guards to fit with the V&H Big Shots Long, but it all worked out in the end.

Dave, talk to me about the back rest you have. I really want a cheaper option to replacing me seat---plus I've only had it two weeks and it hasn't broken in yet. I need to go back about an inch or two; but a back rest would also help some.
I think I remember you saying somewhere else that you got the idea from a Springer. What about comfort, back support, part numbers, etc. Anything you're willing to share would be appreciated. Does the bike look good with the pad off with just the chrome bar showing?

Brian:
The seat rail and pad is from a FLSTSC (Springer) don't know the part # off hand but it's in the catalog book or online HD website look under softail springer 2000 - 2003 it looks good with or without the pad.

Ingenue:
I had to drill a new hole in the strut to accomadate the bolt mounting pattern of the bags. There is already a hole in the fender behind it and then all you need is the bracket on the inside of the fender that has two nuts on it instead of the one that comes on the deluxe with one nut on it. It's a standard harley part, I got it at the dealer-I think it was from an 03 FLSTS
The saddlebag guards will hit the pipes if they're mounted like they are supposed to mount, so I made a bracket that extends the lower mount back about two inches or so which raises the lower part of the bars just enough to clear the pipes. It really doesn't move them enough to notice unless you really compared two bikes with them mounted each way.
The bags may still be available through the dealer but we bought these off of Ebay in like new condition. We saw a bike at the Springfield mile last Sept. that had bags on it like these and she really liked them.

Thanks Steve - I may just go with the V&H Big Radius pipes which would leave plenty of room for the larger bags. I haven't heard them in person, but I love the sound on the website. I know I've seen these on a Deluxe, though the site doesn't list the FLSTN.

Actually I just looked at the Softails listed on the V&H site for the Big Radius pipes again.

They list FXSTN - there is no such Softail model!! I think it should be FLSTN instead. In which case, I'm very happy cause I really like the look and sound of these pipes!

Actually the bags weren't a problem with clearance, it was the guard rails that I had to move slightly. I don't know if the Big Shot Longs were listed as fitting the deluxe when we bought them, but I talked to V&H people and they told me they would fit.

Don't listen to the dealers unless it shows it in the book they don't have a clue what fits trust me it bolts right on just make sure you get the pad and seat rail.

yeah--my dealer looked at me funny when I told him about the rail and seat. He didn't deny it---he honestly said, " I didn't know it would fit." I told him I could send him a picture if he wanted and he siad, " I believe you"

I'm actually taking my seat to a guy on Tuesday and for 80 bucks; he's reworking my seat. I will go that route first and see how things are from there. He's going to put me back about an inch or two and I may order the rail and pad afterwards. Thanks

Mine is an EZ-Brake - there is a difference between it and the Kuryakyn model. I got it on eBay for $100. They list at $170.

Hey man your delux is beautiful. I purchased my in November and doing the stage 1 at present and also rear hub covers. I want to know about dismounting the rear seat and luggage rack. Can I do this at home? What about the holes?? Do I need a cover or chrome bolts to hide the holes?? I put on VH Longshots. Let me know asap if possible. My scoot is in the shop at present. Will pick up Wednesday.
Thanks for your pics. This was a supprise for me to even land on this page.

seat and rack comes off in about 3-5 minutes----once you see it; you will notice exactly what to do. Only a couple of screws. I bought some chrome plugs from HD for a few bucks to fill my holes in....others used black

Hey man I love your scoot. Very nice. I have the same model and would like to know what you use on your white walls. When I picked my bike I noticed some dark scum around the rims. I thought regular soap and water would take off this substance. Do you recommend any cleaners? Would appreciate any advice on the cleaning.

Man your scoot is beautiful. I have a question pertaining to white walls. I would like to know the best white wall cleaner. I can't get the rear brake dust off the walls. I have tried various soaps but the stuff refuses to become snow white. Let me know if you have any suggestions.

sidewinder, which windscreen are you using?

Harley Davidson Nostalgic Detachable Windshield, lightly smoked. I like it, although I never used anything else to compare it to.

is it the regular king sized or short version.....It looks short, which is the one I want; but was wondering about the wind protection of a short version

From the very bottom to the top of WS is 25". From the top of the headlight to the top of WS is 17 1/2". I think there are larger options but may also be shorter as well. I never had any other WS on so I can't compare for wind blockage but I can tell you it keeps all bugs off me and there is a very noticable difference with wind without it. It seems to fit the bike perfectly and is sufficient in wind deflection. I would not get one any larger, but that is JMO. :eek:

BTW, is that a fresch picture? Looks like springtime:)

Pictures are at work in December her in Tx i purchaced the bike Dec 8th and i have 3000 miles already , the pipes are V&H, with a air cleaner and rejet from the dealer, last night i installed a dragtron 2 air cleaner, and a breather kit

I bought mine in December too but I only had 300 miles on it.:D Not in pic is the Mustache Bar and HD low profile windshield.

That is one sweet looking Deluxe.

Well, I'm almost done. Bought the bike on 6/17/05, added a few things before Sturgis then put it away for the winter on 11/7/05. I've been adding things since, mostly chrome, and went down to the dealer to take a few pics.

So far, I've added:
V&H Longshots
Narrow beach bars
Chrome switches
Chrome front forks
Braided cables

Going to talk to my Service Manager tomorrow, not liking that new left hand cable sticking so far up into the air and looping OVER the handlebar. [:@]

Still may add a few more little things, still have another month up here before she comes out and we hit the road again.

Hmmm, an EZ- Brake will let me stick my toes out on the full floorboard, eh? Hmmm.....
What else do you guys know about this? Surely, it's not "EZ" just because it has a higher "clearance" pedal ???


And Retro: GOOD-GOD your ride looks great!!! I have some chrome uppers but just haven't paid the shop to put them on, but wow! Now I gotta do it.

Nice ride!!!

Thanks DI, been thinking about what to do since the day I rode it off the lot. Sad that I can't ride yet, but good to know she'll look different when I do.

Very nice looking ride. :D Agrees about that cable though, it looks like it's a bit too long. Like your bagger too ;)

HD, thanks for the kind words. Are you talking about that little license plate bag I have on the back? If so, need a place to store my glasses, camera and the other's lipstick. :D

Thanks MOS, I've added a few other small chrome pieces here and there that don't show up in the pic (chrome tank panel, cylinder base cover, lifter block cover, swingarm axle cover, etc...). Amazing what $3G will buy you these days. :(

Here's some recent pic's of my Deluxe. I just finished doing the black lowers, black powdercoated wheels and hubs and a Progressive Suspension lowering kit. Some of you may have seen these pic's floating around in the Off-Topic forum but I wanted to put them in their proper home. Enjoy!

Hey there TStewart20, that is some original smooth lookin' Deluxe you have there. The black fork lowers & rims are sick! I did notice one thing that I've done that you could consider. Remove your air intake backing plate & paint it flat black with some high heat paint. That would add to your already awsome Deluxe.

Thanks, Yeah I already thought about that too. I just wanted to get this thing back together and get some riding in. I'm also thinking of getting a Heritage Springer's black oil bag. And a couple other little suprises. But thanks again and that's a great idea about the backing plate, I'll probably take you up on that. I think BBQ paint would work bitchin!

I got alot of catching to do. :D I seen alot of awesome Deluxe and pick up some new ideas of what Mod is next for my scoot. Thanks for posting.

SD2240,

Do you have anymore pics of the left side of your bike? I'm thinking of adding the toolbox and would love to see that side of your bike, if you have one over there as well.

I am pretty good with graphical stuff (as you can see below in my sig line), so post them in here, I'll download, resize and repost for you to use.

Is your tool box the HD tool box? I was thinking of the nacelle as well, looking forward to your pics.

Thanks I will. Yes it is the Harley toolbox. A member on these forums named MarkDaScot posted a few pics of his deluxe with a nacelle a while back and it looks unbelievable. I ordered the nacelle and some Burly bikini beach bars at the same time. The bars came yesterday so Im hoping the nacelle shows up today.

Hey Guys, please explain 'Nacelle' the dictionary says;
'A separate streamlined enclosure on an aircraft for sheltering the crew or cargo or housing an engine.'
and that is not to any help for an Viking[8D]

Its the headlight on the Road King.

Shall I understand it as you ordered a headlight from a Road King? For a Deluxe?? Why???

They make them for softails too. It gives the bike a mean look.

Hey fellow Deluxe owners,

New to the site. I've been following this thread for the last couple of months and its been very helpful. Just picked up my new deluxe last week.

Some nice chrome on her, NJ.

What kind of pipes/mufflers do you have?

Thanks. I went with screaming eagle stage 1 kit.

NJ, She's a beauty! Alot of chrome installed. Nicely done.

Nice ride, well done.

Couple of questions:

Is that the stock headlight?
Is that the stock rear brake pedal? looks different, are they HD parts? Got a number?

Thanks. It is a stock headlight with the exception of the trim rings. head lamp trim ring part #69626-99 and passing lamp trim ring 69622-99B and front smoked turn signal 69752-04.

The rear chrome calipar is Harley. Part #44539-02A.

very nice NJ, injoy your ride and keep us posted on any future mods.

And welcome to the forum from southern CA.

Retro and Deluxe_scoot,

Nice rides . Do you both have the fuel injected model? I noticed that you both have V&H which I prefer over Screaming eagle (gotta love that sound). My dealer gave me some story that V&H works better on the Carb models. Also, that If I had them installed before taking delivery of the bike they wouldn't be able to include them in the warrenty of the bike the way they could with the scream eagle kit. So I went with the SE.

Have you guys ever had any problems? Did you get them installed at a harley dealer?

Thanks.

DeluxeNJ,

Fine looking ride you have there my friend.

Nice touches with the chome. Not to much, but just enough.:D

What make and model are those lines? They do really make the difference.

Ride safe.

They might be SE Double Barrells---am I right NJ?

yes mine is the fuel injected, as soon as i got it home I replaced my pipes w/ V&H. couldnt stand the stock sound :D changed to the SE air cleaner and used the PCIII. Schedule for a dyno tune the end of this month, no problems yet. Have made some other changes, I need to update sig picture i guess :) any how, enjoy your ride.

ORIGINAL: DeluxeNJ

Retro and Deluxe_scoot,

Yes, mine is fuel injected and no, I have not had any problems. Ran stock pipes for awhile minus the baffles, but had the pipes installed at the HD dealer where I bought the bike and then remapped, so far no problems.

But I'm on great terms with my HD Dealer and the shop guys. A few pizzas here and there and they keep me running tight. ;)

Hey Calin,

In some early thread pics you have a horn that threads between your cylinders and exits through as trumpet on the right side. Where did you get it & why did you take it off?

I have been looking at the kits but they say 80-90 softail.

local://upfiles/7535/F2D29C74142241A7848A3BAA21F641A8.jpg

You can find the horn at i.e. Zodiac http://www.zodiac.nl/UK/Bbook2005/Chapter%2004/index.html
But be aware that this is 'just' an electrical horn withy even lower sound than the original!
Better to go for an 'air horn' like HOWARD'S DYNAMIC DUO AIR HORNS KITS EVOLUTION TWIN CAM,
can be found on e-bay.

DeluxeNJ,
You must be a brilliant guy, because I have ordered my Vivid Black Deluxe with almost EXACTLY (but not quite exactly) the same mods.

I am changing out the wide whites to all black tires and am going with clear rather than smoked lenses. I was planning on holding off on the SS lines, but am curious if you find they make a difference. I hadn't ordered the chrome lower belt protector either, but otherwise, pretty similar changes.

I also am changing the speedo to the tach speedo combo that looks exactly the same as the stock speedo. Other than that, pretty much the same.

I listened to the V and H longshots then the SE 16 guage pipes you got and I actually liked the sound of the SE's better. They are a slight bit deeper and throaty to my ear. I understand they are made by V and H for Harley, too.

Nice pics !!!!

Hey, any chance you have a pic of the bike with the sissy bar ON but the windshield OFF?

Thanks.

Bones

BBDeluxe,

I haven't felt a difference yet on the brakes but they do responed very well. I agree, the SE's are deep and throaty which is a good thing. They are made by V&H or at least thats what the dealer told me.

Congrats on your bike. When do you pick it up? I look forward to seeing pics. I don't have a pic yet of the sissy bar minus windsheild but will in a week or two (if it warms up again).

DeluxeNJ,
I am told delivery will be in April, but don't know exactly when in April. I am SO chomping at the bit. I decided to do all those add ons up front because my dealer offers no charge for labor with any mods you do at time of delivery and 2 year warranty on all parts that go on at that time. I am thinking of Boss Bags, too. But I will wait on those for a bit.

Meanwhile, I am away two weekends in April and have an all weekend committment one of the other weekends in April, so I don't know how that is all going to work.....ahhhh.

I decided on the black tires because I want to lean away from the straight nostalgia look.

Your bike looks fantastic. Thanks for the post. I will get pics when mine comes in.

One other question: did you test ride a Deluxe stock before getting yours and doing the STI upgrade? I just rode a stock Softail Standard which was nice, but I am told the StI kit with SE pipes really makes a big difference in torque and roll on. That would be nice. Interestingly enough, my "other ride" is a BMW R1200GS, which actually feels like the Vtwin in the quality of the vibration dept. It also makes the same torque as the Harley but makes 100 hp and weighs 490 lbs, so it gets up and goes. I think the two bikes will compliment each other because they are so completely different.

Bones

BB Deluxe,

I feel your pain. I waited two months for my bike and the day after it was delivered I had to go on a 2 week business trip.
I had all my mods done prior to delivery to also take advantage of the warranty and discounts. I've ridden the softails before and the ST1 does make a small difference in torque.
I'm also a BMW owner (or was one). I had an R1100S.

Your a lucky man to have both. I had to choose one or the other according to the wife.

DeluxeNJ,
My wife said "Go for it" to both the GS and now, the Deluxe. Wow. I am still scratching my head. She is amazing.

We rationalized: The payments on the HD will be just about the same as the child care/day care payments that will end this summer as my youngest heads off to school in the Autumn. So cash flows will stay about the same. Nice.

Ride Safe,

Bones

Hey BBDeluxe.. I just ordered my vivid black '06 Deluxe last week. Should be getting it in May sometime. I was considering having blackwall tires put on my bike, too. Seems that almost everyone keeps the whites on there and for good reason - they really complete that retro look. Anyway, just curious if the dealer is charging you for the tire swap? My dealer said they wouldn't charge for parts (since they'd be keeping the brand new whitewalls) but just for labor.

Best of luck, and I hope to see you all on the road.

BTW, isn't this thread supposed to be pics? lol

Fiugzel,
I get credit for the wide whites which cost more than the blacks, and they charge labor for the swap. They tell me it will work out to be about an even swap that way.

The red looks great. I noticed you have the Leatherworks Indian Nickel saddlebags. Thinking of getting those myself with the Eazy Brackets. Do you have the basket weave? Can't tell for sure from the pics. They look great and are bigger than I would have imagined. I see you have the low pipes; I was planing to leave mine stock for a while, but dealer says hey will still fit. Planning to throw a sissy bar and backrest on as well.

How do you like them? Any problems with them ie size, install, heat from pipes etc?

Did "Bones" just say he traded a kid for his Deluxe??? :D His wife IS amazing!.....

We finally had a snap of cold weather (at the same time I had some free time), so I know have my SE II slip-on mufflers on the FLSTNI.


The sound is TREMENDOUSLY better than the stock (although I've put up with it for over six months---my two deuce-riding buddies were amazed that I made it this long;) ). Now, instead of bitta-bitta-bitta when I start her up its BUDDA-budda-budda-budda [sm=happybounce.gif].

Hello Group,

I am the owner of a 2005 Black FLSTNI. I have recently designed and machined a better alternative to the lousy stock HD seat retainer nuts
used to hold the seat to teh grab rain and fender. I like the stripped down, bobber look so I always have the passenger pillion removed.
However, teh lousy stock cast crappy seat nuts made me sick to look at, so I came up with an alternative. See attached pics. THe "ace of spades"
retainers are machined from 316 Stainless steel and then polished with rouge to a fine luster. My buddies with Deluxe's love them, so I invite any of
you to contact me if you'd like to inquire more about them. I have another production run scheduled for next week. Hope you like them.

Could you post them with larger photos?

The Horn was for an older bike so I had to modify it for mine. It really was easy and I loved the way it looked...BUT the horn was a POS. No matter how I tuned it it was NG, way to quiet. I am experimenting with a compressor from Howards Horns retro fitting to the nostalgic trumpet like I had. I'll keep you posted I think I can make it work and be LOUD.

The Bars are 1 1/4 BURLEY Bikini beach bars. 36 wide very comfy for me with the young guns seat. Burley also makes the top Riser cover and hides where the bars neck down. The risers are also 1 1/4 x 1 1/2 tall but I dint know who made them. I got then on e-bay for 9$. (cheapest thing on the bike)

Coupla more pics of the seat rataining nuts. Machined on a CNC lathe in two operations, they are made of 316 stainless steel and feature an Ace of Spades look.

Well mine is an FXSTI and is only a Deluxe from the rear fender back.
FLSTNI, I like what youve done with those seat retaining nuts.

Thanks bernt,did you get a price on the tubes?How much was the sert install?I should have went with a complete exhaust sys.Cant use the stock pass. pegs with the shotgun exhaust!(Not informed by HD when i bought the slips).The bracket is 150.00 (not chromed)or the pass. footboard kit is 250.00 or more!!!:(

Those are way too cool!!!do you have a link to purchase them?

Calin i first peeped your ride on vtwin forum and saved all the pics to my favs.Your bike let me know the styling potential a deluxe has!!!!



NICE WORK MAN!!!!

All,

Thanks for the positive feedback regarding the "Ace of Spades" seat retaining nuts. God, I love these things and it looks like others
share my feelings. If you too are disgusted with the stock pieces of crap, please email me at mjdebellis@optonline.net and I'll
give you some particulars. I have another production run scheduled for this week, so I'll have plenty of sets for all interested.

It's all in the details.....

All the Best,
Mark

Just added new grips, detachable windshield, chrome wind deflectors, windshield bag, and some Army themed derby & inspection covers to remind me of my days as an Army aviator. Pics attached.

You'll have to host them on your private website, your ISP supplies you with webspace and you'll need to download an FTP program to upload the pictures. Photobucket will resize all pics to save web space.

CJ: Is that a Mini-beast Air horn?

Thanks Retro,by the way is that a Corbin young guns seat?That badboy flows pretty good with the bike.I'm undecided about that one and the Le Pera solo.The seat makers keep saying except for FLSTN!!!Because they dont have a bracket for the stock bar.

Very keen eye there Mr. Money, yes it is a Young Guns. And if you think it looks bad ass, it rides even better.
I put it on before the Sturgis trip LY, 650 down, 800 there, 650 home. And then wanted to ride some more. VERY COMFORTABLE SEAT!

Stock bracket that came with the seat fits perfectly.

Trying the beachbars for fitment and rideing position,i already see that the HD dealer sold me the wrong length steel braided cables!:( 36" wide,stock 4.5" risers)Dealer said go 4"over and it looks like i need 6".The 4"over clutch cable is the same length as the stock cable !wtf?The throttle and idle cables dont say +4" on the packaging,the brake line seems to be ok.Anyone with similar bar setup,please advise thanks.....Garrett

CJ and Gmoney,

THose are some badass bikes. Good for you.

CJ, Nice bike man. I have to ask where you got that cover with the Senior Wings. I used to crew CH47s. I wonder if they have the Crewmember ones. Thanks for any info!

SoCalFXSTI

I got the aviator wings from http://www.azece.com/index.htm. $35 and great quality. You can contact them via phone or e-mail to ask if they have the wings your are looking for in stock.

CJ

Yes, it is a mini-beast airhorn. Easy to install, looks great and VERY loud!

CJ

All the chrome,103 Stroker,six-speed,80 spoke,custom alligator seat & paint. It's done & for sale!!! ready to start another one!!!

Hi Guys,

I'd like to show you my brand new bike which I've got one week ago !!!
It's a 2005 white-blue (I prefer the 2005 blue to the 2006 cobalt blue) Deluxe.




Now I need to get new pipes (unfortunately in Germany we have some limitations :-(

And I am thinking about replacing the origin bar and risers by a beachbar. It would bo more classic.
What do you think ??

Have a good time !!

Hey Guys..... Sweeeeeet bikes.... I've been looking at your pictures for about a month or so, getting ideas of what to do to my Deluxe. It's an 06 Blackcherry and I'm loving it.... I know posts are "useless without pix" so here we go..... Hope you like it!!!

just curious what your impressions of the deluxe is so

Hi Eddie,
Have you seen the Roadhouse pipes http://www.310design.com/roadhouse/harley.htm ?
They'll ceratainly give the old time touch. And might even be approved in Germany?
About the beachbar, I couln't tell because I do not know them...


We got even more snow in Sweden yesterday!!! Enough is enough! Let the spring RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Bernt,

it's the same in Germany, last night we've got snow again
instead of spring, sun and heat !!

But the day will come :-))

I love your bike (but mine a little bit more :-))

Have fun

Yes, it's amazing that such a "big" bike handles so smoothly! But again, we are all partial. I'm sure rice-rocket-riders would feel like their on a tank. (Now get those pics uploaded! ;) )

She looks great Cali (or is it a "he"....:D ). The seat looks great---gives the bike a sleek/smoother look of lines. Is it a sundowner??? (I'm not very good a IDing parts yet. [8D])

Thanks SuperMan (Man_ of_Steel)!! The seat is a HD Badlander... Little stiffer than the original, but I liked the smoothlines that flowed with the bags.... Haven't had much time to really try out the seat yet because it's been raining like crazy here!!!

Ride safe!!

Hi,
I really like the Rinehart slip-on mufflers. I posted a question about these a while back but got no replies at that time. How do the sound? The Deluxe looks great in black cherry.

Hey Joe,

Thanks for the compliment, I really like the Blackcherry and waited until I could get it. The Rinehardts sound good... Pretty loud on the Deluxe. I was really suprised at the difference... The dealer where I live told me I was the first Deluxe he had put the Rinehardt slip ons on. He liked how they looked and sounded as well. My husband put them on his Street Glide and mine is louder but his sounds deeper. We're both really happy with them! I'm gonna get the airbox and map done at 1000 mi.

Ride Safe!

CaliGirl

Joe,

By the way, your bike looks great!!



CaliGirl.....

CaliGirl,
Great pics! I am changing out my wide whites to black wall tires, too (but spoked wheels), so it was great to see those pics.

Haven't seen one in Black Cherry. Nice.
Thanks.

Bones

CaliGirl,

Nice looking ride. Really like the wheels. Enjoy.

here's my updated deluxe pics. I got rid of the floorboards, and spotlights and changed the handlebars (for about the 10th time), cables, fenders, signals, forward controls and seat.

Thanks!! The wheels are Renegades... I like the whitewalls, just don't like the cleaning that goes along with em'.... Plus, couldn't resist the opportunity to add a little more chrome!! Your bike is schweeet!

Ride safe!!

CaliGirl,

I finally got my Curved, Laydown License plate installed. It was made for a three-bolt mount, so I had to do a bit of "Ace Hardware Engineering" to make some brackets to go from the two-bolt mount on the Deluxe tailight to the mounting on the back of the plate.

http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j293/FLSTNI/Harley/Laydownplate3.jpg

Overall I'm pretty happy with the results. Although if someone looks closely enough, my "homemade" [&:] brackets on the underside of the plate are pretty ugly.

<Sorry about not having them embedded but when I do, they are BIG and I've already resized to 25% in photobucket. It doesn't seem to do any good. I'm a nooooob!>

Great looking bike! Where did you find your derby cover? I have looked on the HD site for some but could not find one I really liked.

http://img108.imageshack.us/img108/872/harleysideviewsm7vp.jpg

Thought I would add my '06 Deluxe since I have seen plenty of Black and white, but none with Fatboy wheels. I also have a sissy bar bag attached to the luggage rack and have chromed out everything on the handlebars including the grips. Hope you all like.

http://img108.imageshack.us/img108/872/harleysideviewsm7vp.jpg Hopefully this works

Been drooling over all the pictures in this forum. Still got about 7 weeks to wait for my deluxe. Still overseas and trying to get all the mods sorted out over the Internet.

Found this pic and can't determine what the chrome bit is. Been all over the HD site looking for what it might be. Thought it was a decorative nostalgic horn, but that didn't check out.

Any ideas?

Looks like the horn from pg 287 of the J&P catalog. Different mounting though...

Aftermarket horn maybe?
or one of those fancy mounts for a padlock or brake rotor lock.

The Picture is of a high output horn from the 06 Harley Davidson Parts Catalog, pg 294 #E.

Hi,

I think it was on the HD site in the Deluxe Gallery for 2005 bikes. Great picture when seen as full:
