and I can do ya' one better on the leather care, try the Zaino "leather in a bottle", beats the hell out of anything I have ever tried on vinyl and leather!
it's the best stuff I have ever used.....
Good look'in Deuce. 1300 miles on mine, will stay stock for time being. For my type of riding, the handling is good, love the looks too, & love that deep seat, I have a lower back problem, it gives good support. Also I like that it was lowered, as I am inseam disadvantaged. Hope to have pics of mine soon.
The was a rquest for comparison on handling if I read this right. Low speed handling on the Deuce is absolutely perfect for me, even down to parking lot speed it seems the easiest and best balanced of all that I have ridden. I came from a late Dyna and now own a 1200C as well...both of them feel way better when pushed in curves...especially when surface is undulating or rough...the back tire just follows the front tire better on Dyna and Sporty. IMHO of course....aside from what I perceive as a weakness in basic design...after all HD intent was toreplicate rigid appearance with a suspended frame....I like my "semi-rigid", which I think is more descriptive than "softail".
