I chose my Deluxe because that is the one I wanted. If I need a windshield I will drive my truck.

I guess that makes me an old man and a girl cuz I think they're both great bikes.
Never heard the girl bike thing before. Though I've caught some crap from friends for riding a bagger.

When another individual tells me what I NEED to ride to be a man I just cringe and fear it's a transvestite with identity issues.

Cool paint sceme SunRa! I have a model at work with those same colors. Didn't know you could actually get 'em. Ertle make it in the 1/18th scale if you ever want one. Get mine on Ebay cheap.

A friend of mine stopped by sunday to see my new Deluxe. He road up on his 1958 Duo Glide. His bike looked just like my deluxe only older. The Deluxe has that classic style that is Harley Davidson. Now I've got a 29" inseam. The Deluxe fits me perfectly. Interestingly, I recently traded my other girls bike, a Sportster for the Deluxe. Excuse me a moment while I reach between my legs. Yep, they are still there! A very happy Deluxe owner. Dan

Too funny!

I think the deluxe is one of the sharpest bikes HD ever made. I agree that the Heritage is a better bargain if you are looking for bags and a windshield but the one in my garage has a windshield, engine guard with highway pegs, bags (off of an '09 Heritage) and some loud *** big radius looking pipes. It doesn't look like a Heritage, it looks like a customized Deluxe.

Oh, by the way, it's my wife's bike

Thank you, it's one of those ltd edition custom paints I was lucky enough to come across.

I want the model! Got a link?
