Well,I gotta start somewhere
I've got a sweet custom built bike
It's built on a 2006 softail frame
Stretched 4 inches and raked at 37
While I like the bike...it's in for some changes!
I really miss my decked out deuce I had years ago
So.....my goal is to make this baby as close as possible ..
Although. ..it will be raked and stretched
She has an aftermarket electrical system (wire plus)
80 spoke wheels21x2.5 in front and 18x10.5 in rear
S&S 96 super stock..Evo style
Baker RSD 6 speed
To start...
I'm looking to do a nice 2 up seat
Maybe change tank
Factory Harley electrical system
Pipes..really like the vh radius. ..
Anybody have any idea's on this?
I'm sure this is out of the ordinary. ..but what the hell
It's paid for and only has 1600 miles on it!
Sweet bike. While it's not my style I can still appreciate it for what it is, and I can see a lot of potential there! What sort of style are you going for? I think you can defintely do something better with the tins and seat. The big radius is a nice pipe but it's really over used, it seams to be the most common pipe ever made. Being such a custom bike, it deserves something cool
I also like the Bassani,but I think I may be limited due to the right side drive
I like the pro pipe and thunder header also...but...not really that eye catching...
Style wise...Hmm mm
Kinda duecie.....on the custom side
Need to be able to do 2 up
And some distance rides...so comfort needs to be figured in
While...it not to bad right now in that department!
I'm a bit confused why you want to put the factory wiring harness and/or the ECM module. You will be chasing down error codes due to all the missing senors that are not on the S&S motor.
It probably will be cheaper in the long run if you sold the bike and used that money to buy a Deuce because that is what you really want.
I guess I did think about the sensors....
I just don't care for the system on it,but I can live with it
The rest on the stuff shouldn't be to much of an issue though
Mostly cosmetic. ..
Like in said ,This one is paid for...and it's got a lot going for it
Just lacks a few Suttle changes to be where I'd like it
Don't really wanna give up the s&s or the baker 6

Looks like the fender is drilled for a 2-up seat, but you will be limited on what seats you can use because of the stretched tank...and you may find the strutless fender kinda flimsy 2- up.
As far as changing tanks, you will be limited on what tanks will look right because of the stretched frame.
What is wrong with the present electrical system? Kinda lost on what you will gain by changing.
Your exhaust choices will be limited by the right side drive.
Before you spend any money, get out paper & pen and make a list of everything that you will need to do your conversion. This is helpful to make sure you are not forgetting anything like nuts, bolts, gaskets, etc. in the middle of the job leaving you at the mercy of the Parts Gods.
The current system has a couple bugs.i may have those worked out..
The rear fender will easily support a rider
The thing is massive attached with several 1/2 inch bolts
Pipes....I know...rsd
I guess what I'm looking for is a little more two person friendly
Which shouldn't be that difficult
Tanks and fenders.....we'll see
The seat....I know the normal softail will work,just have to moce the rear nut or make a longer rear tab
I know you keep saying the bike is paid for, but the list of things you want to change is not so 'subtle' and you are going to be severely limited option wise and the parts are not going to be cheap....
Why not take all that money, plus whatever you can get for the bike you have and buy another deuce since you loved it so much. Working on custom bikes like that is the most time consuming and expensive thing you can do, I see it day in , day out.
