Nice mods. Ghost is right, too. It would look good with white walls, light bar and front fender. Just sayin'.

Like other people have said; they're basically the same bike with different details (wheels, fenders, etc). I have a Deluxe because I like the '50s/classic look of it. My cousin has a Fatboy and the thing is beautiful - just more modern looking to me. Have fun on whatever you're riding.

Both are great bikes! I went for the Fatboy well Fatboy Lo to be exact cause i love black. But really you cant go wrong with either bikes it really depends on what style you like better. With the Fatboy you got the Fat, Strong wide muscular look and with the Deluxe its got more of a Skinny long and lean old school look! Both Softails with two different styling!
