Default New 06 Deluxe

Hey all....Just wanted to introduce myself to the softail crowd. I traded my 03 Sporty in Friday for a black cherry 2006 Softail Deluxe. I am in the process of picking out some pipes. Any suggestions? I like the vance and hines and the sampson so far. Well I am sure I will have some issues sooner or later.

Later

Welcome from an '05 Deluxe owner from Delaware. Make sure and check out the many pages of pics on the Deluxe pictures site - will give you lots of good ideas for your pipes. I have V & H StraightShots and really like them.

Glad you traded one girls bike for another

That's right, the Deluxe is now a girls bike [8D]

Kidding aside, nice bike and great color. The V&H long or big shots look nice. Just remember they are there when parking on the street.

Glad to see you bought a Deluxe. Great bike.

I just put on the V&H bigshot Staggered pipes, the SEAC and used the V&H Fuelpak to set it up. I did it all myself and saved the Harley charges. Runs like a top! Installation was time consuming but very easy. Pipes are $449 at Eastern Performance, Fuelpak $213 and the SEAC is $119. All from Eastern Performance a sponser of this forum. They ship for free also! Such at deal!

Dealer was $575 for the pipes, $460 for the SERT, and $139 for the SEAC, plus $200-350 for the install and Dyno time. I saved at least $600, that paid for my new seat and rear passenger footboards.

Good luck with you choice.

I personally do not have a Deluxe, but I like the Vance & Hines Big Radius on a Deluxe. Here's a pic of MYHD's Deluxe:
