Seat questions for Deluxe
I normaly ride 1 up on my Deluxe but from time to time my wife likes to go too. Shes about 100 lbs soaking wet and the stock pillion beats her up in about 30 miles. Any recomendations? TIA.

I changed out the stock seaT with a mustang touring seat. It moved me back about 3", much more comfortable. I also changed the pillion to the wide hd one. It works fine and loos good with the mustang. Also added hd quick release sissy bar.

+1 on the wide pillion. I take off my Buttcrack and put the stock seat back on when we ride two up. And I know I'm in the minority, but I find the stock set perfectly comfortable for long trips.

I also have the Sundowner. It's a honkin' big seat but really comfy. My OL is 115 and is comfy. One screw and it's off. Quick.
Otherwise it's this one; also one screw:

OK - I'm looking at all of your Deluxe's (I just got mine last month) and I have one question. What is everyone filling the holes in the rear fender with? I took off my pillion and luggage rack, and I don't know what to put in the fender holes to clean up my rear fender.

I also have a Sundowner for two up riding.It kills the look of the bike but is very comfy for both people.I have my holes filled with chrome button head screws and washers,a lot of guys paint bolts and washers to match their paint.
