Default New toy

I recently decided to get back into riding after a (distant) history with sport bikes. I simply don't have the desire - or youth - to drag my knees anymore so I decided to get a 2009 Deluxe as a cruiser.

Fortunately, I live in Southern California where there is an embarrassment of riches as far as resources. I’m lucky enough to live 15 minutes away from Dr V-Twin, who did the transformation for me. I got the painted tins from Colormania, Wild-1 chubby 518s, and leather by Leatherworks – all installed by Dr V-Twin who provided invaluable advice and counsel regarding cables, clips and other details I would have probably overlooked. I couldn’t be more happy with the results.

The only bad news is that rain is forecast for this weekend . . .

Love the brown leather...fits your bike well.

Enjoy and be safe.

I like it. That color combo makes you do a double take as to what your looking at. That's a good thing.

I have the same history of knee dragging long ago. It was the wife who talked me into a Harley this time around. "I'm not getting way up there on the back of one of those things". I'd always wanted a Harley as a 2nd bike. Oh well, now everyones happy.
