Default Help with my Deuce!

Ok I just got an 03 100th anniversary edition Deuce and I have a wife and 4 kids who all want to ride with me. I need a seat of some kind that will let me take them with me. I cant find anything to fit my bike! No sissy bars or backrest combos ... nothing! Please help.

I really don't think you can get all 5 of them on your bike with any seat.

Seriously, sorry.

I installed the Harley luggage rack, short backrest and small pad when I first bought the bike. It was okay for the wife but not quite as comfy as the current setup.

Tall backrest: 51122-02
short backrest: 51114-00

3 different backrest pads: 51534-00,52549-00, 52050-00

Luggage rack: 53806-00

I have a Corbin Gunfighter and Lady on my Deuce. It has a removable backrest. If I'm going to be spending a lot of time in the saddle I use the backrest. When my wife goes with me I give her the backrest. At some time I'll probably pick up a second back rest so that we can both have one. My wife and I both like it. I also have the Sundowner for 2 up riding. It's good but my wife likes the Gunfighter better.




This is a picture with the HD backrest and the stock seat.



This is the Sundowner, and yes, the same luggage rack is under all that stuff.

Thanks man that was great help. I am already looking into all of those. Just curious i can't seem to get anything on the luggage you have mounted on there. Not sure why it isn't associated within the search on Harley's website but it isn't.

the rear wheel can be chrome plated. Harley used to or maybe still does offer one. I bought one on Ebay for 1/3 the cost. You can have yours polished and plated.
