I thought that the Deluxe was one of the most popular Softails. I see a lot of them.

That is horrible news, I had a hard time deciding between the two. I obviously chose the Night Train but the Deluxe is absolutely gorgeous!
Just two different bikes to me but would love to have both!

I read on a bathroom wall the Deluxe will be dropped, and the new bike will be dubbed the FLSTMFDCI Mutherf&%kin' Floorboard Dragger CustomInjected

That would be a shame. After they put the wide and shortened fender on the fatboy, the deluxe is my favorite softail. The rear fender just looks better long and narrow to me.
