What are the main differences between a Deuca and say...a Softail Standard.

Kindof a dumb question, but I was just curious.

 

Here's a Harley Davidson compare tool for 2008 models
Hope it helps

Deuce - Black and chrome engine
Standard - Natural engine

Deuce - Stretched tank
Standard - Fat Bob style tank

Deuce - Only bike with that style rear fender
Standard - Bobtail rear fender

Deuce - longer fork lowers

Deuce - Different rear wheel

Standard - Bigger rear tire

Deuce - Different dash

Deuce - Different seat

Deuce - Different rear fender struts

Deuce - Trees are closer together

I'm sure there are other differences that I'm forgetting, but that list should get you started on some of the differences.

 

Deuce - discontinued =(
Standard - still produced

Deuce sits lower than the Standard.

 

standard was discontinued for '08 except in overseas markets

 

According to the local salesguy the Standard is no longer produced, just the Custom.

I also thought the Duece had a 2" stretched backbone. Maybe that isn't so but I coulda sworn I read that somewhere.

 

nope same frame just a longer tank.
and the standard is better looking [:@]

 

Most after market parts won't fit the deuce
