V & H Duals on a Deluxe with Footboards
Well, I started getting the Deluxe ready for true duals which are scheduled to arrive Wednesday. I quickly found out that once the stock exhaust is removed, there is a very large bracket that the rightside footboard bracket and the bottom support bracket from the right side bag both bolt to. Obviously, the big bracket had to come off as it would have been unsightly with no exhaust pipes to cover it up. I will go to the dealer tomorrow and try to get a right side bracket for the frame and the footboard bracket that mirrors the left side bracket. I think the brackets from a Heritage or Fatboy might work, and I hope that I can get a half of set or maybe some takeoffs. I'm not worried about the bag bracket as I think they'll be mounted strongly enough with the top bolts. Once I find out what brackets work for the right side, I'll let folks know for their future reference if they too want to keep their footboards and not have passenger pegs only. By the way, it was a good day to work out in the heated garage - 30 to 50 mph winds and less than 10 degrees right now. Some white out conditions earlier in the day. Concentrating on the bike keeps my my off the sh**y weather.

RE: V & H Duals on a Deluxe with Footboards
I received and installed V & H true duals this week. Maintaining the passenger footboards on the right side of a Deluxe for anyone interested will involve the purchase of 2 brackets PN's 52713-95A and 50481-00 which will end up providing a right side bracket that is a mirror of your original left side bracket. I'm attaching some pics (hopefully) which show the old brackets, the new brackets, and the pipes installed on the bike.

Thanks you for this. I was looking to install Samsons on my Deluxe but I have the passenger floorboards. Now I will be going with the V&H true duals.
