Hey Gator. Like you, all I´ve heard is good things on the Deluxe. Beautiful bike too. I pick mine up on the 15th and will log 3,000 miles or more in the first 6-7 days, so I´ll have more on it then. Buying in Spokane and doing the Alcan back to Alaska with it. Was looking at Fatboy as well but found out it has a design flaw. (I don´t care what Harley calls it)
