Doesn't HogPro make a different fender for the Deuce? Seems like I saw some pics on their site that looked pretty good. I kinda like the look. When it starts getting old I just put on the saddle bags and hide it for a while, then when I take them off I like the fender again....for a little while.

I guess it is just a personal opinion thing, you either like it or not - for me... I like it.

I'm with Voodoo on this one. Once you have the right hight on a Deuce fender it looks Killer. Obviously any fender thats sticking
6" or moreoff theWheel is going to look odd. Just curious Hawgfoot. What would you suggest??

I think most people either love the BT Fender or hate it. I actually really like it, but that's just me! [sm=smarty.gif]

Lowering my Deuce would maybe cure the fender problem only to create or worsen an existing problem . I drag that Pro-Pipe powering out of right handed corners real easy riding 2 up , so far just the end cap . Think there would be major damage to my exhaust if I lowered my Deuce .

Voodoo , did you do anything other than the air shocks to lower the rear and is your front end lowered at all ?

Sorry, it was meant as a joke. Honestly I really like Prince. Or is it the "Artist Formally Know As".

Well, I don't know if the frame ears are any different my I know the fender struts are for one. I think with a set of struts and a fender you could probably make it work. I am putting a duece sized wheel and tire on in as soon as the wheel gets here and I know that will not cause a fitment issue.

JC, Canuck chill the F+++ out. I'm well aware of who VooDoo is and You. I don't think he was offended by the comment. He took it with the comical sense it was intended along with the Prince "joke". I also don't think he needs you to defend him.

With that, Sorry for the thread divertion Dan and hope you get you deal done. I will quietly go away so as not to offend any more of the POWERS that BE around here with no sense of humor.
