Well I hate to be a noob who replies to an old thread, but I just bought an '03 Deuce and found this thread when I googled it. Like many people I don't particularly like the rear fender. I love the look of that Heartland kit though. However I need to be able to ride with my lady and I'm wondering if I can get the Heartland kit and still fit some sort of seat on it for her. Hopefully one I can remove when she's not on it. Anyone know if this is possible?

I bought my 06 in Oct of 05 and still have it. It's a great bike and it's taken me on many adventures, both solo and 2 up. The only thing that I've never liked is the rear fender. Unfortunately, there's not much available to change that without losing the 2 up functionality. My wife doesn't ride with me that often, but when she does I want her to be comfortable. If she's not, then I'm not.
I use the detachable windshield and saddle bags because I don't like the look of the Deuce with either, but sometimes they're an evil necessity.

Personally I liked the look of the bones, and the rocker with the right after market seat and tank lift, dropped rear, has the classic chopper look.

You need to get the EZ-Deuce kit by Heartland, it cost more but you don't cut off the horns so you maintain the rigidity and its completely reversible back to stock if you decide to go that way. Also heartland makes both a proprietary seat with sissy bar and a unit called a ride rack and rest that is a backrest and rack for a pack when up and when folded down its a pillion seat for a passenger. I just sold my deuce that had this set up and I still have the RRR unit available if you end up doing this. Here is the link to it: http://heartlandbiker.com/conversion...est-fits-180-3.
