I think that while it is a cool project, you could have come out better selling/buying.

My concern is that a Softail's suspension and brakes will be overloaded with all of the add-ons plus a rider and possibly a passenger. They just weren't built for that.

Nice project, I thought (think) that the bike looked dynamite before. Changing the seat and colors too?

I also spent the money and got a set of the Legend air ride for it seeing how when we ride 2 up I tend to drag the pipes in corners and have drug the kickstand once or twice hope they will help from dragging the bags

The Deuce "stretched" tank looks awesome on a bagger!!!
I would want floorboards if it was me.

Looks good and it's unique. I guess you won't have to worry about having someone show up at bike night with a bike like yours.

Is it just me or do others see it too? It looks like the front of the tank needs a little lift to make your lines work a tad more for you. It does look unique too!

EDIT: And don't get me wrong, I like it!
