Nice long ride tonight. When I came upon this open field & the 1st thing I noticed was: "How long would it take me to cut this grass?"
Gettin' old....

I just added a window bag and thinking about adding the H-D luggage rack to my sissy bar. The Idea of a cup holder is also under consideration. Which one do you have?
The cupholder I used is from Kustom Kaddy, mounts to the switch housing screws.

That that looks really trick. I see you still have your stock horn good both of them work at the same time did you eliminate one to have a separate switch. By the way I know this post is from 2013

This week on my '05 Deluxe I replaced the old windshield, replaced the stock risers with 1.5 inchers, and installed some Rockout rocker shaft inserts. The rocker noise has diminished quite a bit. I'm also awaiting a new set of HogDeluxe bags to replace the Leatherpro bags that fit well with my old pipes. Got new pipes last year, need new bags. Bags should about be ready to ship.

Delivery is next Wednesday. But I got them to send me some pics this morning of it being prep'ed. Only had my Deuce for 7 weeks. I liked it, it was a fine bike, but I felt I wanted more power.

Going for the more ProStreet look, lowered the Tank, put 5 degree raked trees on and blacked out the whole front end. EDIT: Sorry, somehow pictures got pixelated, maybe someone on here can explain to me how to resize pictures while keeping the best resolution?

Assuming your Deuce was stock or close to it, more power is what you got right out of the box with the M8. Sweet looking bike! Congratulations.

To get back on topic, today I rode, did nothing else to 'er.

The motor was stock Jeff. Thanks.

Also to get back on topic I removed the mods I had done to my Deuce to get it ready for them to pick up. The bracket I fabricated for the side mount license plate will go well with the tank trim on the Fat Boy if I can find a good place and way to incorporate it. It will match the brushed stainless of the Fat Boy tank trim better than the chrome on the Deuce
