Background info: always wanted abike but too tight to spend the cash, wife suprises me with a 06 Deuce for my 40th Bday [sm=smiley20.gif], completed the MSF, drank the kool-aid, logged about 800 miles so far.

With the 1000 mile inspection coming up what should I do? Everything is stock. What are must haves for aDeuce? Any suggestions?


Merry Christmas to all,
Gerald

 

It's really a matter of what YOU want out of the bike. Performance? Looks? Both. A theme such as the Live to ride theme or flames.

For me a great seat and bags are important. I do about 2100 miles or more a month during the riding season, so what I was sitting on really matter!

 

Thanks keystone.I guess performance would be my first playground. I definetly want to getlouder pipes. Not alarm setting but louder than the stocks. After scanning the forums I guess I'll be playing with looks forever.

 

Ken's right. You don't need to do anything until there's something that YOU want and that will come with time. Usually right after bike night!!

 

I would say the first step is stage 1 A/C, rejet & pipes. Looks will evolve constantly, a little at a time, trust me.

 

Just put V&H BBS, Stage 1 air and SERT on my 07. Lucked out as their Dyno was down, but it seems to be running really strong without it!

I've been going crazy with chrome!
plus I just added a mustang solo seat , I got the passenger pad just in case I need to ride two up, I also have the Deuce short sissy bar and luggage rack, got a HD bag that fits over the sissybar backrest and sits on the rack for trips where I'll need to carry some stuff (whenever that may be!).
but for about 90% of the time the solo seat will be on by itself.[8D]

I also just ordered a new revtech 18 x5.5 rear wheel with a 180 tire on it, got a chrome pulley and polished rotors coming too.
