softtail deluxe
Hi
Am currently on an 883 but am thinking of buying a soft tail deluxe. I visited two dealers today - one told me that a deluxe will bottom out if riding two up (my passenger is 125 lbs) - the other dealer told me that the deluxe would not bottom out. Which is it!
Also what is teh deluxe like on the highway as compared to a road king?

Haven't ridden a RK, so I can't help you there.
But if they say a Deluxe will bottom out, I'd stay away from that dealer. My guess would be they had a more expensive bike they were trying to sell you.

We have never bottomed out. We go quite loaded, tent, bedrolls, sleeping bags, rain gear, saddle bags and trunk all full. I set the shocks for heavier loads.
