Rode my first Harley around for 4 years, an 04 Classic. Did all I could to make it fit me better, I'm 5'8, 5'9 with my boots on , but at 120lbs. , it was a bit much to back up on gravel if I had to and everything else that goes with owning a dresser. Got my 07 Deluxe a year ago and have never looked back. Don't miss the radio or anything else about that Classic. Not to mention that I am 68, this will be my bike till I don't ride anymore. Love everything about it. It's like what riding a motorcycle used to be about. Not a multi-guaged , gps , steriophonic plastic adorned monster.

As has been said many times on this forum, the Deluxe is the best canvas for customization. Every bike is so unique. I dare anyone to buy a Deluxe and resist doing something to it. Mine is getting there, but not quite yet.

I really like, no, I really love this bike. It is the bike I have waited 40+ years for. I have often told people, " I consider myself and artist and this bike is my canvass". I'm not rich but I'm the next best thing, no wife!!! I have been blessed with a pretty good job, I raised my kids alone and they are now gone o what ever I want to do to my bike, I do it. The Deluxe, IMHO, is the best platform to start with for customization.
Yes, of course there are many other Harleys that have been customized and look sweet but the Deluxe? It's just a great bike to start off with when you have a dream in mind. You can go in so many different directions with a Deluxe and pull it off.

My 07 came with frenched hd lighting, quick detatch windshield and rider backrest , engineguard , pass. footboards, larger rider seat and windshield pouch. All HD. I added some nice older Hd saddlebags and cruise pegs for the engineguard. That is the way it will stay including all the labels. When it is time to sell it , it will be what someone is looking for. Un-molested. Just saying.

I am 5'10" and have no problems. In fact my bike has a lowering kit, but it also has full beach bars with the tree lowered too. Maybe my mods affect seating position more than I realize but I love the bike.
