Default Chrome Lowers - Non HD Options?
The next mod is chrome lowers and I'm wondering if there are any non HD options for the Deluxe out there. Billet? Flush axle? etc...

I reread your post and you want fork lowers. I think Harley are really your best bet. You can get a flush axle to put in them.

There are several people on Ebay who take stock lowers and chrome them at a much lower cost then the dealer.Check their feedback and ask any questions you may have.I know of three different companies offering flush mount axles for Softails.

For the Deluxe? I thought that they only had them for Baggers. Their web site has been down for 2 days now.

Would you mind naming them? Any preference between the three?

HD chrome is tough to beat.
Brown's in Kentucky was pretty good in the '80's (sent them a lot of stuff), but these days the Harley stuff is pretty nice.

I did some ebay swap out lower fork legs a few years back and they've been great- Can't complain, don't remember the price but it was very reasonable.
