Default newbe deuce project

I recently purchased a deuce on impulse, after a few bears and deep discusion relized the rear fender would not ever grow on me. I slinked around a few of the other threads and found alot of conversation on the subject"mostly the oddities of the model". I think i have a pretty good looking bike now after a bit of simple....well fairly simple mods. I would like some feed back on the project, so give it to me strait guys. simple things I would like to know how every body feels about the bobtail fender kit, front wheel, tank lift, pipes, and drag bars,and paint. I think it looks alot better then when I got it... but love can be blind.

A fine job there. Maybe a slight lowering in the rear as kelly stated. Not much though. Don't need slammed. I liked the duece as it was but your bike really looks good. Be proud!!

I think the new rear fender looks as good if not better then the stock one. Nice paint and seat but the front wheel is a little much.

Looking good. I have that same wheel on front and rear of my 04 Deuce. Like the tank and seat.

Ride safe
