Try PM'ing 1duce3 in case he doesn't see this. If you look at his bike he has one on it. So he should be able to tell you how it mounts.

as long as we are talking about v-rod parts. has anyone seen how this bolts to the vrod fender and would it work on a deuce? looks like the deuce rear seat bolt would be a prob..
Thanks for the compliment, alot of extras in that ride. Yes it is an 18" wheel. But it has been replaced with a PM 18" "Vintage" Wheel. The 80 spoke American Wire wheel couldn't hold air, so after 3 replacements I opted for the PM wheel. It too was an 80 spoke, looked great, but like I said before, could not hold air. Keep in mind that it will be a bitch to clean it properly while mounted on the bike, too much stuff in the way, and the PM wheel, in my opinion, looks as good, and a whole lot easier to maintain.
Thanks,
Ride safe
My bar is made for the Deuce, it mounts under the seat, rests on top of the rear fender, and bolts underneath the rear fender. They also sell one that is taller, I opted for the short one. Not sure if a VROD would fit, my guess would be it wouldn't. Why are you trying to put all these VROD parts on a DEUCE?
I'm only interested in the headlight assy. I like the look, I've seen some streetrods that run those latemodel slanted headlight buckets thay look cool. I'm one of those guys that can't leave anything stock, so I'm always thinking of little changes, its mod madness.
Spokes are awesome... definitely eye-catchers but like you said, a "Bitch to Clean" - I have the PM Vintage (18 rear - 21 front) as well - get plenty of compliments and much easier to clean... not spokes, but not bad. BTW - Nice Ride you got there.
