I gave this Pro-Street-Bagger look to my bike almost 16 years ago ........ ( my Deuce is MY 2000 )

Ahead of the times!

I'm not familiar with the 2000 Duece. Is the lower rear swing arm stock or after market?

Very interesting comparison; both nice bikes.

 

both... without bags

 

Nice comparison. I like the deuce better.

Some new models seem to come from how people are modding existing models. Best example is the Street Glide. Harley saw what folks were doing with the Electra Glide Standard. So they de-chromed it, added a radio, shorter windshield, shorter shocks, and named it Street Glide.

 

Deuce looks good. But stock to custom isn't a fair comparison starting with a $3500 swing arm, pipes,air filter, etc, etc. But really good job none the less.

 

reynoldss, if this is why it is not even right to compare a current motorcycle to a motorcycle of almost 20 years ago!

but Geoff centered on the problem. I think the interest that Willie G Davidson had about my deuce (widely documented on international sites and magazines) has given (perhaps) a cue for the new models ...

GQ Italia and many other newspapers are also writing about it
