I love the look of the Sportsters with the King tank.. so I bought the Softy for the engine, rear suspension and 6th gear... I can make it look like a badass Sportster.. :-)

I had a Road Glide that I had to sell because of a layoff at work. Found a different career and a different bike. Found an affordable Fatboy. I installed a windshield, mustang seat, luggage rack and leather pro bags (all detachable). Now I have two bikes in one.

Never had a Softail, decided it was time and I liked the style of the Slim, I already have a Dresser so buying a SG or EG made no sense.

Hello everybody, glad to meet you. I am new on here and to riding Harleys. I had not ridden in about 20 something years . A buddy of mine bought a Superglide and got me fired up to ride. My wife thought I had lost my mind. I went and sat on several Harleys at the dealership pretty much decided the Deluxe was the most comfortable to sit on. I like the nostalgic look they have. It took me three years, but I got my license and bought a 2009 Deluxe, teal and off white, white wall tires , and a two up mustang seat, Vance and Hines exhaust with shark fins on the ends. I did not want speed, I just want to cruise around. That's why I bought a softail. Nice to meet you all.
