Default Deluxe Upgrades

I'm looking for a backrest to add to the solo seat on my Deluxe. I had purchased one from Kurayken and it just didn't fit right. Would move around on you no matter how tight the bolts.

Also, I've decided on a fairing, I believe the Reckless brand. I want the speaker option and just looking for advice. I'm not a do it your selfer and from what I've read maybe Reckless Fairings are more for those who can. Dragonfly is more expensive but if it is an easier option to add on and doesn't need additional modification that is probably what I will have to do.

The Springer rail and tall pad worked great for my wife, and look great on the Deluxe, untill she switched to a new seat. You can hardley ever find the parts, but I do have a set for sale. Not a cheap option, because all the stock Harley had was grabbed up a few years ago by Deluxe riders.

here is a pic of it on the wifes bike..

PM me if interested in them, they are in excellent condition.

I have a reckless fairing. It came ready to go out of the box. Three wires to the battery and then quick detatchable up front.

If you don't have a windshield, then you will nedd to order the windshield bolts from H-D

Be careful wih Alex at Reckless he is a d!ck, and once he gets your money your out of luck with him. Fairing is nice but if there's any issues your out of luck
