Everytime I'm see a nice Deluxe like yours, make me want trade in my bike, I'm really thinking in Deluxe or Roadking!

Now this is JMHO, but with the fairing, it looks like you're half way to wanting a bagger and looks a bit out of place without bags. Again, JMHO. Does give it your own look though, so there's that. Football cover? I'd like to replace mine as well, but 1. I don't want to spend $300 on it and 2. I don't want it soaking up water when it rains and I don't like anything else I've seen out there (round, CD covers, etc). However, you can't go wrong with the one NC (for example) has.

I also agree about the wide passenger foot pegs looking a tad out of place on a solo ride.

Very sweet ride though. It's amazing what that set of wheels/tires will do for a bike.

Glad the fairing is getting support bud. Either way, bike looks awesome.

I give you props man....the fairing is a hard one to pull off without bags. Your shortys gives your bike a different look in respect....I admit took me a bit to get used to first when I saw your bike. Now the fattys are on, they do look great now!

I am curious about your mod list. Ever think of getting some cholos? The fishtails might balance out the fairing look and add some continuous lines to it. Training the eye from the narrow a$$ end to the bigger scale in the front easier.

I'm not into the fairing "thing" but it is your bike and not mine. Very sweet looking ride. Enter it both ways in different shows if possible and see what happens.

I had thought about getting some duals, but they aren't my style. I like them on other peoples bike.

Hard bags would look good, but believe it or not I'm not going for a bagger look, just thought the fairing looked better than a windshield

Nice ride, but don't get to caught up in the "compitition" aspect of it. A lot of the shows comes down to who has the most friends.

Yeah, Bud.. i think you are just about ready for sure.. I think Talon and Brett hit it right.. Just hit up some small detail work and ryde her proud.. I personally like the fairing too! It definitely gives it your personal style and is different from the rest.. After a couple shows, enter her without the fairing and see how you place then.. Good luck, brotha! Im lookin forward to seein a trophy placed next to your badass ryde!
