You went with and got a great bike Dude. It's a sweet ride and your gonna love it. I also agree that after you get the 33"s on there you MIGHT end up wishing you went with longer pipes. I went with the 39's and I hope I made the right choice too. Also, your bike SCREAMS Shotgun shock! I will probably catch a little "ribbing" over that remark but none the less it's true. I do NOT think you can find 1 single dissatisfied Shotgun shock owner. I said it before. I will never own anything other than a Deluxe,(unless it's a 2nd bike), and I will never own or ride another deluxe without the shotgun shock. If I ever did go with a new or newer bike it would be another Deluxe and I would take this unit off of my bike, put the stock shocks back on it and put this Shotgun set up on my new bike. It's a lifetime warranty, no matter what bike you take it off of or put it back on something else. Again, you have a sweet bike. That color is amazing when the sunlight dances off of it. I have only seen 1 in person and it looked very, very nice. Also, white seat? Are you buying a white seat or getting your stock seat re-done? One of my winter mods this year is to be having my stock seat re-done in black and white to match my bike with gel insert's, white grips, white plug wire. I am curious on how you are going about getting a white seat, where and how much, if you don't mind. if you don't want to post it in public shoot me a PM if you don't mind and yes, PICTURES!

Thats a nice seat and set up Dude. I didn't even know Harley had that! It won't fit my need's though. I want my seat right down on the frame to help me with the illusion of my bike being lower and longer then it really is. I think that would look awesome on your bike though. It's a perfect example of that "Old school look". White hand grips will only add to that. I found some white LEATHER hand grips on one particular site but they were expensive. I also want white grips to match my bike and seat when it's done. I don't know how hard it would be to keep the leather white grips clean rather than white rubber. If your interested in looking at them send me a PM. I don't know that I am allowed to mention vendors on this site in a public forum.

Parts are arriving at the dealer so I set up to drop it off Wed the 3rd of April. Should have Carlinis bye then also. So just waiting a few more weeks for Sinister to get me the wheels. Hopefully 3 weeks will be done with 80% of my mods. This bike will like nothing like the day it rolled out of York.
