Default Softail deluxe
I just bought a beautiful deluxe
My question is should I go with brown distressed bags or black. The paint in Harley custom, copper and rust.

Partial to the distressed brown myself. Look good with those colors. Everybody has black.

Not only would the distressed bags and matching seat look cool, but add in a matching distressed brown leather jacket/helmet for that ultimate fashion statement.
Ride safe!

The brown sounds like a good match for those colors but it's hard to tell for sure without seeing the bike.
