Hmmm. Ronnie's microfiche has the part number thru 05. I must be blind as it would include the 2005 model year. Durrrrr

A carb'd twinkie sounds and runs pretty good with the right exhaust/intake combo. I do miss the vibration of the evo, I tend to forget to hit 5th gear on it until I'm really reving sometimes. Definately 2006..

Yes 06. My 05 Deuce had a carb. Matter of fact you could get it with EFI also.

Never pondered that question...thought you could still get carbed. My 03 was and yes, it did sound pretty good. But to the trained ear, you could tell it was a twinkie.
