Remember the old saying “When E.F. Hutton talks, people listen”? Well, around our offices, it’s “When the big wigs talk, people listen.” And a few months back one of our higher-ups mentioned he was looking for a couple things for a Softail Deluxe he’d just bought. In particular he was interested in a two-up seat (the original passenger pad that came on the Deluxe was nowhere to be found), a sissybar/backrest for his better half, and he wasn’t happy with the puttsy sound coming out of the stock pipes.
We quickly stepped up to the plate and made a suggestion on some parts. The first of which was a Saddlemen Explorer Seat with Driver Backrest ($639.95), a Harley One-Piece Detachable Sissybar Upright ($259.95) Tall Backrest Pad with Softail Deluxe Pattern ($79.95), and the detachable Docking hardware ($39.95). For a deeper and more powerful sound, we suggested a set of Rush Racing Products’ Tip Compatible Slip On Mufflers ($335.95).
We suggested these parts because we knew everything was reasonably priced, quick and easy to install, and provided the looks, sound, and comfort he wanted. Next, came the make-it-or-break-it line, it was our job to install everything. If we could install everything with no issues or scratching his paint, and he liked the set up, we’d be heroes. Screw up his bike or he hates everything we installed, and we’re zeros. No pressure, right?
