Now I don't know... I actually really like the mostly-black on black and the 4-into-1 can. To me it looks better than in pictures. Not to mention $1,800 difference as quoted is not pocket change.
Can I transplant the Deluxe instrument panel onto the Base model for reasonable money?
If it were me, I would gladly pay the difference for the Deluxe. We didn't get the choice in Canada with only one model, and it would cost much more than $1800 to add all of the Deluxe goodies to your U.S. Base model. Fortunately, the Canadian model did get many of the Deluxe goodies (other than the exhaust, tank, seat...)
In a year or two that extra $1800 won't seem like much, and you won't have a blacked-out bike that looks like a high school kid with a rattle can had his way with it. (JMHO)
