2008 Harley-Davidson FLSTN Softail Deluxe
WE BELIEVE NOSTALGIA DOESN’T ALWAYS HAVE TO FEEL THAT WAY.
So we built the Softail® Deluxe to take style in a whole different direction. The wide whitewall tires and full skirted fenders put the class in classic. Same with the Tombstone tail light. The tank is topped with a big retro speedometer. The six-speed Cruise Drive™ transmission and 96-cubic-inch chrome and black, fuel-injected V-Twin provide the modern twist. The seat comes adorned with a classic chrome grab rail and luggage rack, and sits just 24.5” off the ground to make for a low and comfortable ride. You only live once. Live it Deluxe.
