Oh man, sweet!!! I love how the frame and tins match. Looks like V&H Big Shot Staggered exhaust? Wife had those on her FXDL back in the day and you could hear her coming. Congratulations on getting 'er, she's a keeper for sure.

Thanks Guys! Yeah, she is really a lot of fun to ride. I absolutely love the Deuce! I hate how the transmission drain plug is in the middle of the rear shocks.... thats going to be fun.

I had an 2003 Deuce for 10 years and never had any mechanical problems of any kind with it. It was a great bike. Enjoy your new ride.

Yes I agree. Im really going to like wrenching on this bike. I gave my wife a long ride on it last sunday, she liked it but I know she is more comfortable on my Ultra Limited, It just rides so much nicer, much heavier but really smooth. That being said, I believe I will start looking at a stock seat for the Deuce and remove the backrest. That should really make it look so much better. I will be doing the chain tensioners next year as I want to get out in front of any potential issue. Once thats done, I should be good to go. I love my Ultra but the Deuce is just so much fun to ride. She sounds just fantastic and with the apes....... oh my I really love it. LOL.... I guess I have a motorcycle problem......

If I do the tensioners, I suppose that would be the time to do a cam right? Its a 95 cubic inch motor, I really like S&S but Ive noticed in a few of you guys signature picture you went with the Andrews 37. Should I follow suit?
