Default Finally!!
I am not a person to beep my own horn or even to draw attention to myself but I have to say that finally, my bike and the bike of my dreams are actually a reallity. I finally, after 40 years have a set up I have always just dreamed about, sitting in my garage. It does not matter how many bikes are at any of the bars, when I pull in and slam it, it gets all the attention. It's so much more then that though. It has the motor, tranny and the suspension and all the other little details I have always wanted. It cruises so well, all the power I would ever need, full of sparkling chrome and I just can't say enough about the shotgun shocks. If others ever think about getting a new bike just throw the shotguns on your bike, maybe a little cam work and you have a new or at the very least a new like bike. My bike rides like a dream in any condition, just add or take away from the shocks and it's like your on a new bike. To me, performace mods always out weighs cosmetic mods but the shocks are a close 2nd. Also, thanks to all who have offered advice when needed. Pushing me to get these shocks now rather then waiting was one of the best mods I have done to the bike.

That bike is nice. It's got the show and the go. If I can ever stop buying the "show" parts, maybe I can get some "go" parts, lol. Looking good man!

This Illinois native has to say that that's one helluva nice ride you got there! Been dreaming of a Deluxe and that is one gorgeous example.
