Mason,

I believe your Deluxe has basicly the same set up as my Fat Boy, I used Rush Slip Ons and am very pleased.

They havefour different size baffles 1.5", 1.75", 2", 2.25"

Sound great like a Harly should.

Their web site has sound if you want to check it out.

Here's the sound page:

Here's mine with Slash Downs.

Cycle Shack slip ons rated very high on the proformance chart I have been running them on my built motor for two seasons and they are excellent price right also they come in four or five different cuts like slash down slash out like mine tapered and maybe two others

Vance and Hines stated they will offer slip-ons for Deluxe this summer. Might want to check them out.

I had H-D slip-ons installed with Stage I on my '06 Deluxe. They sucked as far as sound. I put Rush slip-ons with 2.25" baffles on and what a difference! The bike runs smoother,and hasa noticeable difference in performance also. I'm happy with them, and they were only $260.00. Jr.
