Need some help
Hello all fist let me thank you in advance for the help. I'm brand new to Harley's and i will be picking up my new Softail Deluxe this week... Can anybody suggest any good trustworthy custome shops in the Southern California area?? I'm looking to customize my new Deluxe but I don't know who to go to. I live in Los Angles County but I'm willing to drive if needed. Any help would be greatly appreciated... Thanks again.

First thanks for the quick reply... I'm looking to do the "whole nine yards" Meaning paint, handle barts, exhaust and chrome... Any help and suggestions would be great.

If your even marginally handy with a wrench and srewdriver there are a lot of things you can do with and too the bike on your own. You can save a ton of money doing a lot of the work yourself.
If you have some extra beer in the fridge I'm sure you can find a couple of guys in your area who would be willing to give you a hand on the more complicated jobs.
But FIRST thing you need to do is get hold of a service manual. It will tell you exactly how to take virtually anything on the bike apart.
It will also tell you how to put it back together properly.
A parts manual wouldn't hurt either.
PS Welcome to the soft side.
