Deuce = "Except FXSTD" when buying MOCO parts.. lol

Nightrain is a blacked out FXST with drag bars.. Last year was '09.. Deuce has a unique styling.. Different rear fender, 21" front wheel, unique bars/risers and a lot more chrome.. Last year was '07

Tins, forks, bars, just about everything except the drive train and the frame.

+1 and skinny tank, chrome front end and like mentioned above, there are a lot of parts that fit the Softail family but many of these won't fit the Deuce.

I think that the deuce has a higher ride height and you have to like drag bars or change them out on a Nightrain. I'm not positive, but only one year of the deuce has the fat rear tire... which I am not necessarily a big fan of...

I think I will follow your posts just to look at it too LOL

Deuce is narrow and Stretched , had 180 rear tire , fender was not bobbed.

Deuce rear wheel was a 17" as well, which made its swing/arm and rear brake setup unique.

Prior to the 200 Rear wheel on FXST* family a lot of people would replace their rear with the deuce to get a 180 rear.

Handling on the deuce was supposedly better do to the rear wheel setup, but that is debatable of course. and finally.. getting on a deuce really limits your options in seats and many other aftermarket parts regarding anything in the rear end.

Oh.. the deuce had a very clean tail as well, closer look to the Dyna's actually, and it was an interesting choice between the bobbed (FXST/B/C) and the full classic look (Heritage/FatBoy).
