New HD Duece
Hello all.....brand new here. Just purchased a 2005 duece, chopper blue pearl with 1800 miles, paid $14,700 i did alot of research on what to spend and thought this gave me the most bang for my buck.
I was looking at buying new and was torn between the duece and the vrod but when i saw this bike i hopped on it right away.
Is there anything i should look for mechanically or cosmetic that any of you have had problems with?
What add ons would be worth putting on? or is the stock bike great the way it is?
This is my first HD and I will probably come here to ask alot of questions.
Thanks in advance for all who reply.
Cant wait to ride it.....
...will post pics when i get it home

RE: New HD Duece
this is my 02 cents
1st up grade should be
pipes, stage 1 kit, SE race tuner. makes a big difference in performance. do it all at once and be done!

Congratulations! I purchase my 2003 Deuce in May of '04. My changes have been:
Vance and Hynes Side Shot exhaust
Stage 1 Air Cleaner
PCM programmable computer
Sundowner Seat w/High Backrest for the wife.
I don't need any other changes....it's fast! Friends that get on my bike can't believe how quick it is at start or any RPM range.
RIDE SAFE![8D]

Congrats on the new Deuce. The first thing that I did before my bike left the dealerhip was to do the stage 1 with remap and new exhaust. The stock exhaust is a little too quiet for my likes. Hope that this helps you out. Good luck with the new bike.

Congrats Paul - sounds like you got a good deal - has the bike already got the stage 1 kit and new pipes?? Dealers usually push those mods immediately, the orig owner may have already handled that for you. Ride Safe!!
