Hello all,
Recently bought my first bike ever, a 2005 Softail deluxe. I absolutely love the retro look of the bike, but at 6'2" with a 34.5" inseam, I need to move back.
Some questions:
1. Will sculpting the seat as per the how-to thread be good enough? (or even good enough for now?)
2. Does the Corbin Classic solo move me back at all? Could anyone here who rides one please advise?
3. What year's seat from a Heritage fits the Deluxe and do they move the rider back?
4. What do you think of the deluxe as a beginner's bike? (225 lbs and a good downhill, north shore, mtn biker who hasn't been on a street bike for 30 years and that was a friend's 650cc yamaha touring style)
Some more info:
bike has highway pegs which I can take or leave; I'm not sold.
I don't want forward controls.
I hate the tall boy seat.
Thanks in advance from a complete noob!
