Before I buy a Fat Boy front tire and fender for my 2005 Deuce, can someone tell me if it will fit? And if it does fit, how will it handle?
Hope someone can help
Thanks.

 

do you plan on changing out the front wheel/tire? With a stock Deuce front tire the fatboy fender would look out of place IMHO

 

Going for the Excile Cycles look???

I think you'll like what you see. Give me some feedback.

 

Nice Deuce, indeed the Exile look...

Thanks for the post, was thinking about the same thing.

 

Putting a smaller, fatter tire on the front is the way to go! I just did that on my Night Train, but I went with Black Bike spoked wheels. Great handling, great stability, awesome looks.

Guess I should have read the original post without the benefit of a liter of wine - I see you indicate tire and fender ... my bad.

 

They look pretty strange to me.. Look like half of one bike and a front end off another.. which is essentially what they are.. I'm not all that crazy about them.. For the "exile" look.. To really pull it off, you're looking at custom fenders, cleaning up of wiring and getting RID of the chrome, completely and the pinstriping and all that jazz.. The bikes are very mono-chromatic (which is why they still look great in black and white or color photos).

 

I'm with Babs. I think jbt's bike looks great, it's been pulled off right. But the big Fatboy wheels on the front of the Deuce just doesn't do it for me. The Deuce has too much chrome for the Exile look. The nightrain pulls it off.
