I replaced the forks on my 2014 deluxe with the forks from the 2017 model. I was looking for an improved ride, but I did not want to hassle with rebuilding / modifying the stock forks. What made me go for the new 2017 forks was when I discovered pitting on one of my fork tubes. I read where another member of this site had an issue with the chrome pitting on his fork tubes, and I believe he had them re-chromed after determining that the original layer of chrome was extremely thin and was wearing through. Plus, other members had performed the same swap and were happy with the results. I am happy with the 2017 forks, and I believe they deliver a better / smoother ride.
