Here's the first three things I did to the new Deluxe while doing my best to maintain the bike's old school, classic appeal. How do you think things came out?

Good deals and the bike looks great. I've never been a fan of sissy bars but being able to use it for storage is a big plus.

The wind screen looks great. On my BMW, the windscreen is motorized so you can adjust it to the perfect height. Too bad thats not an option for your HD.

The only thing I can think of at the moment is front running lights. Yellow are the most noticeable in my opinion. You probably already know this but the Hurt report stated that 80-something % of MC accidents are caused by something in front of you and a lot of that is someone not seeing you. I noticed an immediate difference when I put them on my BMW.

Also upgrade the headlight and other lights to LEDs and get them as bright-as-possible. (Bright-as-possible lighting has been controversial on MV so just a heads up that not everyone subscribes to that philosophy.)

I'm guessing your job got "pandemiced" but I'm glad to see you still have some assets. What did you do?

And thanks for all the great videos.

Best
Miguel
