Good lookin bike! I want a spoke rear for mine, and i can get a 17x3.5 for $400, but if I'm spending the money I really want an 18". I may just do it anyway, not sure yet.

Here is a pic of the flush mount caps. I don't have any other pics, but this spring now that the bike is mostly where I want it, it'll be picture whored pretty badly lol.

Yup, you can do anything to a Deuce.

Never hurts to know the parts manager. At my local dealership, he rides a Deuce. So he knows what REALLY fits and what doesn't. Hooked me up with the same fuel gauge/ flush-mount setup for mine. I'll read more in this thread later. Although I'm done with mods on my FXSTD. I've got an '08 Deluxe draining my wallet this winter.

18's??? Holy hell, you're gonna be reaching! I'm 6' tall and with my 12's on the shortest risers you can get, my hands were level with my shoulders sitting up straight. 18's would have been too much for me. I'd like to see pics tho when it's done!

I'd really like to get my front end done, but I'm not going to have the money to until probably 2016. I'm working on getting a new vehicle that I don't owe anything on and paying off the Harley. I know it'll be worth it in the long run, but until then...

Front end fork trees and lowers are different also.

I'm 6'7" ..... It should be fine! worse case I'll at least already have plenty of cable and wire so it'll be easier to go shorter than taller :-) ....
