Default 2020 Deluxe question

I’ve been admiring a ‘20 Deluxe at a local dealer. I have 2 hang ups. The front and rear turn signals, they are too modern. Is there a bolt on remedy for this? The whole bike speaks “nostalgia” and the signals are just....fugly. Thanks

This is just a wild guess, but I would think the lights from a Heritage would be a perfect fit.

Dont know, i thought the same. but they have grown on me since I bought my 19. Belive it or not, those tailights nail 50's art deco style. So I see them as very fugly nostalgia

If you like the bike and the price is right I certainly wouldn’t let the lights be a deal breaker. There’s always a remedy for something like that. Who knows they may grow on you.
Good luck

The front signals are fine, as they are incorporated into the spotlamp mounting bar. The rear signals won't look bad at all once you mount a pair of saddlebags.

I’ve very much grown to like the signals on my 19 Deluxe. I run a CD Triple Play so the rears are on dim as running lights, then as brake as well as turn. Looks good.
