That's a beautiful bike.

What kind of passenger floorboards are those. Also, do you have a pic of the pipe side of your bike?

Congrats! Let me know how the lowering went through. I took mine to the dealer to get mine lowered but they told me that they can't lower the Deluxe model - their reason, the belt will rub on the opening.

Your dealer is wrong about the lowering a guy I know who has a deluxe has lowered his front and back at least one and a half inches and he has no problems. You cannot use the Harley lowering shocks because I thing they are already in the deluxe. The book said will lower all but the deluxe. I believe this guy used the ness lowering kit on the back and the Harley kit on the front

I agree. Anyone who disrespects any others ride most likely has small ***** sydrome. It really is quite obvious as anyone who would dis somebody or their ride has a inferiority complex. My guess is if you dis any HD bike or rider, you likely have an extra small *****. Besides, usually a big mouth goes with a small dick. [8D]
