OK. I need some feedback. I'm almost finished with my "convertible" Deluxe. Just have a bit of trim work and luggage rack to mount.
I can go from a Street Crusier (with soft bags and a fairing) to almost a full on Tourer with TourPak and lowers in a few minutes. The TourPak and lowers are off an Ultra and the Engine Guard is off a StreetGlide. The TP is on a quick detach mount (two up ) and the Fairing Lowers are mounted with some adapter plates I made (to move the guard up just a bit) and the regular top mounting hole. I drilled and tapped the tubing. It comes off by just removing those three bolts and you can swap back to the Softail Engine Guard in about 5 minutes.
The Boss Bags are their 42 D's which is the biggest they have ( I think) but they have some really nice mounting plates that stay on the bike and use quick disconnect couplers at the top. I want to find a pair of extended hard bags that I can "modify" to adapt to those mounts so I can switch between hard and soft bags fast as well.
I added the WardsPartsWerks FCS (Forced Convection System) for cooling and have a HD Oil Cooler yet to mount as well.
The way it is dressed now, I call it my "Deluxe Ultra". I know there are some that will ask Why??? Because they wanted too much $$ for a new Ultra and I love my Deluxe.
Safe Riding. D
