thanks ..i dont have any pics yet, They are both carbed. The bikes are 3 hr drive away, im hoping i can get off early enough tomorrow to go up there. The man told me both bikes are nice, but on the deuce, it has minor chrome flaking on the rocker boxes, brake pedal and handlebar risers, and the big bore kit has just under 20k miles on it. The lowrider is supposed to be extra nice and dont need a thing. Oh and the chrome flaking is not from salt etc, he said the bike was kept covered with a tarp from previous owner, and condensation caused it. I know its just a guessing game till i get there and look for myself. Im leaning towards the deuce, if its nice..but really like the idea of the lowrider only having 13k miles
oh, and 5200 is the price for either
oh, and 5200 is the price for eitherIf I had to choose, I'd lean toward the Low Rider. I like softails...except for Deuces.

So far as I have read this is a no brainer the dyna is the way to go!
because if the 02 deuce has a 96'' big bore kit in it, some one is miss
informed. The 02 was an 88" and a big bore kit would have put it to
a 95". The dyna will have a better take off because it isn't wasting
enegry moving the balancers that the deuce has in it. Some one
informed me that a dyna will set at a red light and shake like a dog
trying to crap a peach seed but gets smooth as silk going down the
road. Now the soft tail will be as smooth as silk ai a red light, but
the viberation on the road will increase as the RPMs goes up.
Are you going to spend more time at the red light or going down the
road?

OP, There is no way (even if you like the looks of a deuce better) that I'd by a deuce over a lowrider. Also, the mileage is 1/3 of the deuce so many more miles for you to ride.
Uh, changed my mind, you should get the Deuce and give me the guys phone number so I can relieve him of the low rider.

It's hard to tell without pics and more info and normally I'm a softail guy all the way, but from your description I'd lean toward the Lowrider. Just be prepared to possibly being disappointed, the price seems way low and I'd be a little suspicious.

He sells 'em both in 1 day & I've been trying to sell my mint, lo mile CARBED Fatboy for over a year. Go figger.
OK; maybe this'll make you feel better. The Deuce is fugly & has a dopey name, and the LowRider, while a nice looking bike, is physically too small, which is why I traded mine a few years ago. Sorta like a slightly overgrown Sportster, and almost impossible for 2 up. You'll find something better.

The deuce was $1500 under TRADE IN (musta been trashed)! The Lowrider was right at trade.
