Gotta run over to the hardware store and pick up some chrome bolts for the fender struts to replace the bag mount studs. If the wife wants to keep the Deluxe style Im gonna have to pick up a narrow rear turn signal bar. The Heritage style sticks out way to far.

Looks great!

Put the bolts back in the fender struts though...Both from a cosmetic and structural standpoint.

Thought the rear fender looked a little high off the tire but went back and looked at some sideview pics of the Deluxes and its the same. I know the deluxe is an inch lower in seat height but dont know if thats suspension or thinner seat.

Specs are different from the frame to ground. Never thought about why, that's definitely a nothing to do research why kind of day though.
