I would be more concerned with overall condition/care. Paint is very subjective. In this case for me that particular paint scheme is wrong...very wrong...on rear fender, and just a bit wrong on the tank. But opinions are just that...opinions...eye of the beholder...different strokes for different folks...whatever floats your boat.
I have a shiny black Deuce...no imagination at all. Ebay buy 7 years ago. No other Harley fits me better...but not everyone agrees on that point either.
Good luck either way...you are a long way from winning

I bought my 06 Deuce new in Oct 05. It's a fun bike and handles well. I did have to buy a better seat for when my wife rides with me though. lol
It's taken us on a number of weekend and week long rides, complete with luggage, with no effort. A buddy has an 01 Deuce, neither of us has any kind of major problems with our bikes.
That bike has had a bit of bling added as well as looking like the rear has been lowered. IMO the rear wheel needs to be chromed or swapped to match the bike.
I like the paint scheme, just not too fond of the 'emblem' on the sides of the tank though.

I think 9500-10k is probably fair. KBB is like 9k and this has a HD numbered paint set and those ain't cheap

It's a 10 year old bike, with a pretty gross paint scheme. So, for $7500 yes; for more than that NO! I think the rear fender on the deuce is kinda funky, and that paint makes it look even funkier with the way it is kinda cut off at the rear tire. I think the Deuce was the first softail everyone hated, but hey I ride a blackline and everyone hates them....LOL It's your money, but since you asked for opinions; I would be ashamed to park it in my garage.

I think $8000 is more in line. You can get a lower mileage Deuce for around 7000. 3 k would go a long way in personalizing it the way you want it. I gave 10k for mine last June with only 11,000 miles on it plus over 4,000 in performance upgrades. It all in what pulls your trigger. Mine had performance I was looking for. Now I am personalizing the looks to suite me.
