Love the Deuce
I snagged mine on Dec 29th so I haven't had a chance to put a lot of miles on it so it is basically new. A 2004 FXSTDI and only had 316 miles on it. I also have a 1200xl. It is a little different ride and takes a little getting use to. I have not found the right combination of bars and seat. My arms are a little short or the bars are a little too far forward LOL. Once I get that locked down I'll be ready to ride all day. I get a ton of looks and + comments. If you like chrome you'll love the bike. BTW I paid a lot less than that for mine and it is basically new so push for a better deal! Parts are as stated "Except Deuce" but I accepted that fact going in.

Thanks guys! I go in tomorrow or Friday to start throwing the numbers around. Only thing I'm planning on changing is a set of pipes and a sissy bar on the back.
Its the colbalt blue color. Not sure what pipes to go with. Probably be a set of v&h and probably b chrome. But not sure whether big short ot straight shots. Also if I pipe it is a programmer needed?
Also I'm willing to accept not a lot of parts. But big thing is I'm.gonna want a smoked tail. Is one available or will I have to mix some clear and black and smoke it myself.

They are probably the ugliest Softail ever to roll out of Harley Davidson. But I think some of the customized Deuces on this website may be the best looking bikes here.
New set of wheels, lower both ends, add some bling and the body lines just come roaring to the top.

2004 Deuce FXSTDI
Over 50,000 miles now and still runs perfect. Came all chromed up from the factory so only had to add minor items like footpegs and grips. My best investment was a Windvest visor, pricey but priceless in the wind. Second best item was the Corbin seat.

I am partial to the deuce, like the lines and its a "sporty" bike, wouldn't want to ride two up on long trips with it, but its a great single rider bike, I think you'll be happy with it. work the deal a little more, at least get them to throw some accessories in
i ordered the first Deuce in northern Indiana and still have it. i have approx $10,000 of accessories and upgrades. i just finished pushing the engine to 100 Hp and installed a 180mm rear tire. i'm anxious to get it out of my basement. i couldn't be happier with any other bike. hope you feel the same after you get yours.
$10,000 in accessories, I want to see some pictures.....
