Bought a deluxe a few weeks back and is now being fitted with 33 inch Samson longtails, with baffles, SE stage one ac and tuner. Haven't even brought it home yet. Psyched

Congrats and let the mods begin. This is only the start and don't fool yourself into thinking otherwise. There is one mod that is a MUST on your new softail and anyone who has read any of my posts can tell you what that mod is. I am a tad envious and I am not an envious type person but my winter mods may have gotten shelved for personal reasons, at least for now. I still have a little hope when I get my taxes back and my bonus in March. We shall see....

Don't worry, they're still long enough to trip on.

Well, I'm new to the forum so I'll have to go back and look at your old posts to read what the "must" mod is. I hoping for you on the taxes and bonus. I sold a Gibson Les Paul Standard to put the Samsons on, with a little cash leftover. Peace
