2004 CVO SE Deuce any issues?
I was hoping for some feedback on the 2004 CVO Deuce. any issues that I should know before purchasing (good and bad). I am trying to make a decision over the next few days on a used one with 15000 miles (25,000 ish kms). thanks in advance for your input

I've had two 04 se Deuce's. It's my current ride again now. No problems to speak of other than the quality of the chrome is sub par in my opinion. Mirror mounts and tach holder are peeling and some other chrome just looks shitty. The wheels were also know to chrome peel. The bike overall is excellent as it was hand built rather than running down the assembly line. Great bike. I went to a new street glide and came back. A bagger just doesn't put the same smile on my face as the SE Deuce. How much $$ are they asking?

@ Superjoe... I have the price at 13,500. which I believe is a decent price for this bike. Hopefully some of you can tell me if the heads are the stock ones from the TC88. I am planning on doing head work and possibly HQ 120 big bore next year and I prefer stock heads as most shops I believe prefer to work on stock heads. Thanks for the replies and I am planning on taking this for a test ride on Tuedsay and will post if I get it. I did like my 07 streetglide (GMR 107) but found a touring bike in the city was pointless so I sold it a while ago. I am ready to convert! ....ride safe

S&S 124......)...and you'll prolly like the test ride,(@95")'specially if it's had any after-mods(exhaust,fuel management,etc.)It don't take alot more than what the MoCo put in there ta get it past the Franklin mark(100+HP/100+TQ)headwork,cams,TB... Good Luck on it,dude......

@harleyrider, yes cases need to be bored to go to 113 , 117, 120 not to mention lower end work , clutch etc, unfortunately I am well aware of the cost ahead LOL! I am considering doing tuner, heads and cam, D&D fat cat 2-1 on this Deuce as a possible way to go ( a lot cheaper! LOl) and by the the sounds of it you are happy with yours. Did you do heads and cam on yours?.

test ride went very well and was impressed. It was nice to ride a bike that did not weigh 780 lbs (my ex bike 07 Streetglide) and found it so easy to handle compared to the streeglide. This bike is perfect for my style of riding around town... SOLD (13,400 plus tax)! picking it up Monday or Tuesday. Thanks for the replies guys and yes I know "this thread is useless without pictures" LOL will post a new thread later when I get it cleaned up and take some pics . Ride safe
