- Hey guys I was pretty excited to finally get my hands on a 2018 Harley Davidson Deluxe and do a full Review it. Has the Awesome Milwaukee Eight motor in it with 108 ft lbs of torque, a seat height of 25.9 inches and a lot more. They didn't do too many major changes of this model which is great because I've always loved the look and the ride of the softail Deluxe. It however has been improved 10 fold with the new monoshock and rides like a dream compared to some of the previous models. Harley Davidson has really done a great job on this bike and I hope you guys get some useful information out of this video. Thanks for watching guys! Stay riding and stay Awesome!
I bought this beautiful beast 10 days ago. First couple short rides of 20 miles each did little for me. This past Sunday I was able to put about 120 highway miles with various hills, wide sweepers and long straights. I now appreciate this, my first HD. She's a keeper!
you all probably dont give a damn but does any of you know a tool to get back into an instagram account?
I somehow forgot my password. I would love any tips you can offer me.

Nice still nostalgic looking bike, like a 1957 Chevy!
Harley did something right. I gotta say that this bike is crisp, clean, bright, right in proportion. This bike to me is I do not want to add or change or take anything away from it. The kind of bike that even the quiet stock pipes are cool. This thing is just old fashion cool man and inspiring.
Just bought my first harley softail👌🏻thx for the detailed info and test i have added some H&V slipons and detachable passenger pillon...can’t wait to drive this beauty
Best looking new Harley hands down. Maybe not the best value, (cost almost as much as a street glide). But definitely the best looking.
Always been a fan of the Deluxe myself. Classic Harley and dripping with nostalgia. Great review.
yeah I agree, thanks man!
Love the bike and love the video. You talk with a passion for the bike. The video make me feel like I'm on the ride. Make me wanna buy the bike
This is on my short list for a new bike in 2018. Great bike and great vid. Thanks man.
yeah I really enjoyed riding this bike, and thanks man!
Welcome back, bro, and that is a beautiful classic looking Harley. Merry Christmas!
thanks man, I've had a rough go the last few weeks. got hit, got sick and had a tooth pulled lol
Wonderful Bike thanks for showing 👍
One of my favorite models. Great video Jerry.
Beautiful Beautiful nostalgic looking Harley, and sounds like a Harley should...great video friend👍😎
thank man!
I bought myself this exact bike for Xmas. I’m stoked, but come on spring.
Another great review man!

Thanks bro!
Very nice...I dig it too! Thanks 😆👍❤
Great looking HD, on my short list for an upgrade
Merry Christmas and a happy new year from down under brother. Ride safe.
thanks man!
Great video! Welcome back!
thanks man! I'm trying to get back on the horse after a little wreck I got in and having a tooth pulled. getting dark super early everyday doesnt help much though!
Fast-Action Jax damn dude, I had no idea. I'm sorry to hear that happened and I hope you are recovering well. We are all here to support you when you come back full swing. You have an awesome layout and personality, keep at it bro.
thanks brother I really appreciate that! it wasnt too bad, this guy side swiped me and I went down at like 30mph so it didnt do too much damage to the bike or me.
Like it! I'LL TAKE TWO!..
I have the same one but its 2017 103 engine badass bike bro!!!
Realy niece Harley!!!! Some day
Love it
At first I was skeptical until I rode one for a trip of 400 miles between my first comment to this last comment. Yes , you can't judge it until you ride it. I was impressed and amazed by this bike.
How much distance you got full tank?
@@husamali3354 I try to push for 90 miles on a tank. A lot depends on which way the wind is blowing and the traffic situations. With a tailwind and less traffic, you can do it @65 M.P.H.
I liked the softail deluxe but wanted a blacked out bike so I went with the heritage cost me a few bucks more but I got a blacked out bike with a windshield and bags which I can take off whenever I want
How about wind during cruising speeds on the road?looks fantastic by the way
I'm not a harley guy but this deluxe is my favorite
Brother, this video is so helpful. Always liked the look of the deluxe BUT I bought the 2018 low rider and absolutely love it ( bonneville salt pearl) added VH, 4” risers and smoked leds and a cpl other tweeks.... it would’ve been a month to get the deluxe I wanted. ... I was rear ended just nearing 550 miles on bike.
So thinking of getting a deluxe since a cpl months to get painted parts ,and repaired. I just constantly admire the whole look of the deluxe even though I love mine. Dealer says deluxe won’t have the performance like my 2018 fxlr?? The terms they used were less responsive and softer ride. And that I’d really feel difference. If you’ve ridden the fxlr too ,,,, I’d put more stock in your opinion over theirs...
Was away from riding for 15 years and a pleasure with the fxlr. Love to pull trigger on a deluxe.. excuse the long comment !!! Ur review and ride got me pumped!,
If I were to buy an M8 it would be the FXLR. I absolutely love that bike! Their are a ton of aftermarket and harley performance parts out for it and I think it rides great! I'd have to ditch the handlebars immediately though as I'm not much of a fan of the Bullhorn bars. I like you also love the deluxe and would love the opportunity to build one one day but the way that I ride and the style that I like screams lowrider all day. Personally I wouldnt choose it over the lowrider. In my honest opinion, I'd keep the lowrider. You already have it and it seems like you like it a lot. she will treat you right! when you get a chance google "harley hooligan lowrider". I love that bike!! I'd do something similar. it's black and gold and should be the first to pop up in images.
Great review Jax. Gramps just bought new breakout. Gotta question. Ive got the iron 883 and about to upgrade intake and exhaust. Is the fuelpak a necessary purchase or can the dealer adjust it for me once the upgrades are made?
either one would work fine, but you will need to re-tune the bike if you change the air cleaner
Get the fuelpak. It’s extremely easy to install and tune on the 883. You absolutely need it.
Where do you live that it's 73 degrees in December ? I'd move there
This is my favorite bike. The same color etc, then the Fatboy.
Does it have gear indicator, and Cruise Control?
I just bought a used one (The exact color and model shown) w/low miles and i love it. THEN…. A few days later as luck would have it (bad luck that is) I learned of the Sumping issue, sounds as if Harley screwed the 17 & 18 model owners, but addressed the issue for later models. Would anyone recommend replacing the oil pump and possibly installing a Vented Dip Stick NOW B4 it has the chance to have an issue with Sumping or Blowback (or
Lying to do the upgrades as I really really like this bike. My first ride when i hit second gear i thought the bars were going to come out of my hands. This little Bike has some real POWER! This bike comes stock with lots of Chrome as well, but that issue is always in the back of my mind now so I can and am willing to do the upgrades simply for peace of mind. Any mechanics here could comment? Thanks
Did you ever get it resolved?
Cool
I’ll always be a sportster and Dyna fan but the Deluxe is the only 2018 I would buy besides the touring bike...I just wish they put the 114 in it too
yeah a 114 would be awesome in this bike!!!
Trust me, after my first ride, The 107 is quite enough.
Sickest looking harley ever made
💯💯
I bought the exact same bike 18 :% for Xmas.
I have been a metric guy for damn near 1/2 century. This new Deluxe with the M8 engine definitely has my attention. And may be in the garage later this month. Nice review, thank you!
Thanks brother! I'd definitely suggest going to take one out if you get some spare time
Stage 1 will really open it up! As you know Action, EPA guidelines keep the bike quieter and choked up to pass all the different countries regulations.......Ride hard or stay home😎
Those are turn signals? I thought they were misplaced lower leg reflectors. Can you say homely?
How does the deluxe compare to the Fat Boy ?
Hey Jax, can you answer me this?
If you take the windshield and bags off a heritage classic, what’s the difference between it and the deluxe?
I absolutely love the look of the new deluxe but am drooling for the 114....
Thanks brother. I like your reviews.
honestly not much, their are some subtle aesthetic differences and different bars and turn signals, a few other things but the are basically the same bike, I've always thought of the deluxe as more of a minimalists motorcycle.
Isn't the Deluxe on the lower suspension? So Heritage should have better clearance/lean angle.
250 miles out 250 back. 8 hrs ride time. Bike is broke in. To dealer next day for oil & filter change out and a check over. Good to go.
What state in US is it?
You commented that the deluxe gets 47mpg, which is fantastic, I bought a new 2017 roadglide ultra in august and have 3400 miles on it, so it's broke in well, I don't know what's Goin on but I'm currently getting 53mpg, and I'm not babying it at all, I check it with a calculator with my buddies at a restaurant after fueling up, and the were as shocked as me, the only change was slip on cobras. Have you heard of anyone gettin that from a full bagger??...
is the bike tuned?
Fast-Action Jax nothing special that I know of, HD did put the slip on mufflers but no stage one or anything like that, I'm doin 300+ miles on the 6 gallon tank, just wanted to share this info with ya. I find it quite amazing.
bike looks great, only issue those turn signals suck !
It'll take some getting used to for me as well!
@@fastjax I was talking about that with the parts guy at my local Harley dealer and he said you could easily put them back since the heritage has the same ones but black
michael noack
Yeah one of the reasons I love Harley's so much is if you have the will you can do it! We just recently converted a 2019 Fatboys headlight back to the old style, came out great!
are you related to woody allen?
Other than the looks, what's the difference between the Deluxe and the Slim
looks really and comfort. the deluxe has a much nicer stock seat and riders triangle Imo
the thank lift of your iron is a 2 or a 3 inch?
its a 2 inch lift
Thanks man!
anytime!
Beautiful Motorcycle, classy look and a bit cholo style yeahh!! Great video man, thanks for sharing!! And hey, Welcome back It has been a while though!! Ride Safe, God Bless and Greetings from Mexico City!!
yeah I had a rough few weeks, got hit on the bike, got sick and had a tooth pulled. also it getting dark at like 4:30 everyday doesnt help with making videos either lol, cant wait for spring!
I love the ST Deluxe. But, why oh why did Harley redesign the turn signals?? They’re fugly! Harley needs to go back to round turn
Twin cam 103 sounds way better than a M8.
I like old ignition switch but what r u gonna do
Connor Shortridge
It did have some pros but got redundant to me
Fast-Action Jax Well every one has there own opinion
Fiquei com vontade de comprar uma moto agora kkkkkkk
I love my Deluxe I have a 2017. I also have a 2017 Street Glide as well and you actually believe that the 2018 Heritage and Deluxe ride better than the Street Glide and/or the Road Glide? Really?? Wow! I don't think you really know what your talking about. Their is NO comparison with the ride of any Softail vs any touring Harley. Touring bikes ride and handle much better than any Softail!
You have to think outside your box my friend, their are literally thousands of people who think softails ride better than touring bikes. In this industry you MUST take into consideration that it's peoples opinions that matter and not what YOU think. yes you can ride a touring bike in a straight line all day long and feel great, but a softail handles better, is lighter, and has lower seat heights. All things that people take into consideration when they think of the word "comfort". Your idea of comfort and the next guys are completely different. Wow! guess I do know what I'm talking about.
No passenger seat, rack or foot pegs. Another example of cost cutting.
it also looks much much cleaner and better without those add_ons when being displayed on the dealership floor.
Yep, cause they wanted the late 40s early 50s look and thats what they got. Oh god forbid Harley should be in business to make a profit, how dare they.
Where did this guy go?
still here, if your speaking of me. been dealing with some health issues, I'll be back up soon!
Ok Jax, glad to see you back.
Not to many changes? Ok, the Motor, the frame, the lights ..... but i like the bike. Good colour
I've seen a police special at my local dealer it sold faster than hot cakes!! Absolutely stunning looking machine, in the UK they go for near £20k that's about $26k for a bike 😭 so I'll stick to just admiring them until my ship comes in & I can justify the cost..... Like a pin up girl 😉 lol
Stock exhaust 2000% does not sound good.
avoid making too much sudden swing... making me dizzy. gud review anyway
The turn signals are awful who the hell is designing these bikes honda
Sounds like a sewing machine damm
FFS, I had to stop the video after less than a minute because of the asinine camera shaking.
do you really need to start each sentence with umm ?
