Ghostrider or Anyone who knows...can you tell me where you found lowering bolts for the Deluxe? In my research, most of the ones Ive found will lower every Softail except the Deluxe. Im a little confused. Thanks!

They are all the same. They say they are not for a Deluxe because the Deluxe already has lowered shocks. Here is a link to the one's I bought and these guys ship fast. I had mine in three days.

Default bolts
After my first air ride from legends which was a piece of crap and would never hold air the worst five months of my riding days i used the bolts and lowered my bike about two inches the ride was not bad at all. Its a very cheap way to get a nice look and a decent ride. nothing at all wrong with them in fact had if i had trouble with the air system i have now i would have went back to the bolts and left them in forever.

Legends Air Ride is crap, or did your installation suck?
