I used the speedo face from a Deluxe. I thought it was very fitting.

Very nice

Love the use of the Deluxe speedo, and the look of the two-tone paint job.

Seat looks really nice as well. I put the HD white piped-diamond stitch spring solo seat on mine, which I do like, but it makes replacing the battery a 15-20min job rather than a 2-3min job, which is a real PITA to have to do on a regular basis.

The Speedo was VIN coded, so I took it apart and switched just the face with my original one. I copied the HD solo seat down to the size of the trangles and textured material, I then added the original style material used on the slim on the sided. I also added a gel pad for my girlfriend pillow seat. I am really happy with the results.
