2013 Harley Davidson Softail Deluxe Review and Specifications
2013 Harley Davidson Softail Deluxe
Exquisite style details round out every other corner of this bike, from the clean front light bar, to the tombstone taillight, to the chrome grab rail and luggage rack, to the laced wheels and wide whitewall tires. And the Security Package option means riders have the choice of adding anti-lock brakes, giving even more functionality to all this form.
One of the most confidence-inspiring Big Twins, the 2013 Harley Davidson Softail Deluxe features an extremely low seat with “collapsing sides,” pull back handlebar and riser, and easy-reach, extended kickstand. And, the powerful, counter-balanced Twin Cam 103B and 6-Speed Cruise Drive transmission are appreciated by many riders.
The 2013 Harley Davidson Softail Deluxe model keeps it classy while bringing some fat custom style of its own. Just check out the chopsticks up front—fat front fork behind the huge, 7-inch ball headlamp. The handlebars are thick stainless steel with chrome pullback risers for easy reaching. It's old-school Softail style that's still fat and formidable up front.
New for 2013 Harley Davidson Softail Deluxe,Is with Hard Candy Custom is a large metal flake finish that’s more than just paint job, it’s a shining declaration of independence—bright, bold and unique. The Harley Davidson Softail Deluxe is available in Hard Candy Lucky Green Flake. Recalling the iconic rebel styling of ‘70s custom bikes, Hard Candy Custom marks another milestone in The Motor Company’s legacy of innovation. We start with several passes of 200 micron flake over a silver base, then clear coat it, hand-lay and mask the pattern and apply the Candy color to allow the flake to shine through. Then more clear coat and hand striping to a deep smooth finish. It’s a painstaking process that delivers a premium custom look straight from the factory, so you can start flying your colors with no waiting, no stripping or extra effort.
