New member on here from Georgia.
I have a 2009 softail deluxe.Im planning on doing several mods on it within the next few months.I have several questions for some of you who may have allready been through all of what I plan.
Ive allready added dual fishtails.
Im gonna do the air ride next and add some hard bags.The questions I have are:
Ive read where there are considerations to be made about oil changes and the like when it comes to adding the air ride.Could someone elaborate on that?
I really like the long bags on a bike but dont want to modify my rear fender.Has anyone seena softail done that way and does it look awkward?
After these mods Im gonna chrome up the front end and add some beach bars.Whats a good set of beach bars that are comfy for a short guy and what can I expect to pay for a set with cables,new grips and the whole 9?
Thanks in advance for any help

Welcome from Florida, do a search of threads, and ask questions in the "soft tail" section, I'm sure you'll find most if not all of the answers.
