Alot of nice bikes here.

 

I would like to start out saying I have no bike atm but am looking into getting one. I am researching atm and a deuce looks like the bike for me. You cannot beat that long sleek looking tank and the versatility of being able to morph a single bike into any of the others. I know nothing about harley's, but have had a few rice pots in the past. I am a bit older now and just moved to Florida from Texas. I need a new toy since there are no rocks to climb here in me Rubicon.
I know this is not the right area to be posting something like this in, but it seemed the best place since the only HD that makes me want to hump the rear tire is a Deuce. Canuck, your bike is the BOMB !!!

What I am looking for is some peeps to help kind of decide for sure on what type of bike to get, although I am leaning heavily on a deuce, I felt ifI posted in this section I would not get side tracked by everyone relating how there model of bike is the best. Most of the other bikes have that fat look to them ie gas tank, while the deuce looks long lean and mean. I just read 90 pages here and my head is spinning a bit, while cloudy at the same time.

Crazy Canuck I think you have the best bike on here and your look is what I want out of a bike. I could go buy a chopper and have me axx hurting a block into the ride, but there seems to be a better way to have the best of both worlds. I rode a friends Deuce on sunday and fell in love with it. My questions to you would be what all have you done to your bike to get it that way ? it seems to have a rake, but not sure.I can see that you have lowered your bike, but not sure if its the lowering kit or a phat tail kit. I have read a little around and hear that the bike leans with this kit on her. I also thought a 180 tire was as big as you could go, but here i have seen posts stating otherwise.

Any of you are welcome to help me out, but please put approx cost of mods if possible. I can figure out most of the little stuff in accesseries. The main mods are whatI am looking for. Currently I would like to have a Deuce thats lowered, big radius pipes, shortened rear fender with biggest meat I can fit back there with stock setup. I am not sure about a phat tail kit yet. and bars like canucks. If I could only have his bike I would have what I wanted lol.

 

Welcome aboard and good luck with the research.
Mine has a few extra chrome bits, I would not necessarily have spent on extras but I'm glad they were on the Deuce when I bought it..

 

nice wheels!! what brand and make? looking for my winter project

So how come Harley-Davidson has discontinued the Deuce?

I just don't get it, that is a good looking bike.

 

So that ours will be more valuable one day. It was a group effort. More like a hostile takeover actually, but we got it done.

Seriously, I have no idea. I know baggers have been selling much better around here lately.

 

#1, heartland makes some great rear tire kits. the have the 180 and 250 as well as 3 differentfender sizes, struts, seats, removable passenger seats w/sissy bar, blinkers, plate holder, passenger pegs, signal mirrors, etc. www.heartlandbiker.com the 250 kits requires replacing the swingarm. performance machine sells the popular phatail kit. there's lots of other kitsout there.an airsuspension is very convenient but can be pricey.i lowered my deuce with the arlen ness slam kit. you can get some of these lowering studs on ebay for as cheap as $30. you can easilyspend a couple hundred bucks for a nice set of bars, depending on what you like. raked trees is a nice look but depending how much rakeis added you might need some longer fork tubes. lowering the rear is another factor in the whole rake/trail calculation. let us know what you decide. sounds like you have a good plan.
