If you use the narrow belt/pulley set up in the fxst/nt a 18x5.5 wheel and 200 tire bolt right on with no clearance issues. ......................



Aftermarket is best bet for a deuce just harley stuff is limiting (EXCEPT FXSTD). Here's side plates and sissy bar set up. I have 5 different seat set ups.

I have a Deuce. I like both. The "Except FXSTD" isn't an issue if you are gonna leave it alone. I can see how it would be annoying for mods though.

"Except FXSTD" has never really been an issue here, you just need to be creative. Things from other models fit so a little home work is required.

Actually the frame is different as well. At least for 2005 anyway.
