I'm not a fan of Milwaukee iron, but as HDs go, this is a nice one. But ditch the useless, vestigial passenger "backrest" -- it ruins the line of the seat, and no passenger in her right mind is going to want to ride on that postage stamp of a seat. Have fun polishing chrome!

hahaha, yeah...the backrest is to be desired. but my wife had one stipulation, it had to have a seat for her if i were to buy one.
this is only the 2nd american vehicle i've ever owned. i just hope i like this one

I used to work at a Harley Dealership--and that's definitely my favorite Harley of all time. The Deuce has it all...but yea, I definitely didn't expect to see that on your post...congrats!! I just sold my bike so I could get my fit (no regrets)!!
it really was a deal i couldn't pass up. i'd been contemplating getting one for a while now...so i did. I am basically trading my fit payment for this. I owe $3xxx on the fit and will be paying that off in about 1-2 months.
like the bike mostly cuz its a bike, but what i can't stand about harley riders is, they become harley dorks, they start buying harley t-shirts, and dorky helmets, and chaps cuz they think it's cool - i say your already cool cuz you willing to buy a bike, so be yourself and don't become a dork (i've met you and you're hella cool)i say buy a full face helmet = helps you concentrate on everything around you, cuz your not picking bugs out of your teeth and not paying attention
hahahaa, i will tell you though....I told my wife and kids "please dont buy me harley memorabilia..i just want to ride is all" and they understand. I personally dont like all the accessories that come with a harley..i just like to ride

100% agreement on buying a full face helmet. I split a deer almost 2 years ago, destroying the deer, a motorcycle, and about $600 worth of safety gear. The chinbar of my full face helmet had a fair amount of abrasion, but I was unscathed. A week later, I was in a bike shop, listening to a prospective customer asking if they had "any of them half helmets." I intervened in a manner that the sales people couldn't, and unloaded on him about how I had walked away from an accident a week before literally without a scratch anywhere on my body, including my head, which had been protected by a full face helmet. From the look on his wife/girlfriend's face, I could tell that at least one person was getting the message.
I have also seen a Harley rider lying in the middle of the road after falling off in a low speed turn, twitching like a fish out of water, with blood oozing from his left ear.
