Just got me a 03 anniversary deuce with 13,000 miles last week. love it! when I was doing research on the deuce before I bought it I saw on the web somewhere a rear lic plate and brake light combo on a deuce and now I can't fine it anywhere. It put the lic plate in the location of the brake light on the rear fender and had a smaller brake light just above the lic plate in trim around the plate. Anyone seen anything like this?

Attached a couple pics of my bike. Pretty much stock right now, want to put drab bars on, new front wheel, and crome solid rear, ect ect ect... the money pit has begun...

Mine has a small strip of Led's under the rear brake light that also shines down on the plate. It came this way when I bought so I am not sure if they came that way or someone added it.

I just got my 1st Deuce about 2 months ago. An 06 with only 6k on it. I have rode ridged frames and Dyna and I prefer my Deuce over ANY other bike I have rode. She stay planted in the turns and when slowing fr turns she doesnt sag a lot in the front like some other bike I have rode. The only issue I currently have with mine is it' does not have all the parts I want on it lol.

I new to replace my front tire. Any suggestions? I want to get a fancy chrome wheel eventually but don't have a extra 1000 right now. What size tire should I get for my stock 21" wheel that will also work when I do get a better front wheel?

My new camera arrives today. I'll snap some photos of the bike with the new seat on it. It's starting to look like a motorcycle. All I have to do now is find a 17x5.5 rear for a 200mm tire...I think that's the right size.
