New Deluxe
Last fall my wife decided to give up the passenger pillion on my 2001 Fat Boy for health reasons, as part of the conversation it was decided that I would try to find a smaller, lighter bike to ride by myself.I settled on an Indian Scout and was quite surprised, it is light weight , very agile and well made, perfect for riding solo.
As fate would have it, over the winter my wife's doctor decided to replace some of her medication with some nutritional supplements and convinced her to participate in physical rehab both of which have helped her with a noticeable improvement. So I was shopping for another bike again, and after doing as much research as possible, reading everything in this section of the forum and then test riding all the new Softails it came down to the Sport Glide and the Deluxe. I have to admit it was the Old School looks of the Deluxe that made the difference plus a better selection of rear pillions and back rests. I completed all the paper work on 5/30/19, got a decent discount on the price, good trade in value on the Indian and a $1500 Gift Card ( something to do with buying on the last day of the month ). Transferring registration and insurance and getting new inspection sticker and if it ever stops raining here I will be picking it up!

Congrats on your new Deluxe! I know I love mine! Very deceiving bike because it looks so old school but the breaking and handling is just superb! Of course the M8 is just such a great performing motor!

The Deluxe is one of my favorites too!
D@mn, I want one of each. LOL!
PS - I really like that Indian Scout too. Tried to put my wife on one just so I could ride it, but she really loves her Sportster 1200 Custom.
