Just installed a 180 on my Deuce
It filled in that rear fender nicely

Looks great South TX. I love the look of the side mount license plate too. Any chance you can post some pics of the license plate holder and how it's mounted? Is it the Kuryakin one? I've been thinking of picking it up so I can expose the back tire on my Deuce more too. Thanks for posting the pics!

That's tight alright! It looks good. Any issues with rubbing on the fender bolts when the suspension compresses?

Love the 180 on mine! Although I had to take off the left inner fender brace to fit it, which kind of makes me nervous when riding a passenger. I'm diggin the color of the bike, TX. If you don't already have one, chrome the rear wheel. Totally cleans up the rear end.

I like the look, fills out the fender.The stock 160 just looked too skinny. I've been running a 180 on mine the last two changes. Got a Vulcan spacer kit for mine but is not entirely necessary.

No issues with the bolts rubbing MC

Thanks dark Lo

Thanks six shooter I played around with the spacers and got it centered pretty good I didn't have to take the brace off. On the wheel I don't have stick one any mire I swapped them out for a 18x5.5 DNA

Thanks St Eagle your right the 160 was to skinny it was making me want to do a rear fender swap on mine but after seeing the 180 on there it looks a lot different
