Dusty Tales - Why the Deuce?

[@williamdempsey9239]

Great video, awespme bike, i have owned a Deuce for 21 years and counting, 400k on clock and still going strong, greatest piece of American iron ever forged!

[@Denny-b6g]

My wife and I ride a pair of 2000 Deuces that we bought new in 2000. Now they are both custom painted by me, ape hangers, mine very tall and we love them!!! 65,000+ miles and still rollin'!

[@philvale5724]

Hi 👋, I am new to your Deuce family shop, 😅 I purchased mine back in 1999/2000. I had spent a lot on it, the best thing ever I done to it was brought an exhaust system which I believe the name was Boom Can it sure was, it was a limited addition from downtown Seattle, Harley Davison, I believe for a custom bike, and I was the only person outside the US at the time that I’ve managed to purchase one, it was a 2-1 exhaust system, I was living in the Uk at the time, in the 2000s, I have been to a lot of European rallies, I was coming out of London one time a person in my Aston Martin pulled up alongside me and said you have been to St Tropez Harley Davidson rally and I said yes we had a long chat, I had nickname as bald eagle, my Harley jacket has got embossed in the back of a eagle, which has been painted by an artist in Lake Garda, Italy, a few years previous when I was riding another bike obviously a Harley, 1200 s , and FXR 1350 , I had to sell it in 2019, due to being scammed by my female ex partner, it feels like somebody has removed a limb off of my body, When I sold it had over 55,000 miles on the clock, unlike her, it never let me Down. I always gave it 110%. It was service regularly., so when you put your faith in something or somebody, you should get respect and trust back, loyalty and faith, . I was always 110% faithful to my bike and my partner, I am now 71 years young dude, and I don’t know if I can ever afford one again, PHIL FROM THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOULIN FRANCE. RIDE SAFE OVER ONE ☝️.

[@ianstradian]

I own a 2007 FXSTD and I love it. Pulling into a bike night in 2021 the bike gets a lot of attention, they are rare bikes.

[@greenidguy9292]

I have an 03 and it's hard to get out of a gas station as I almost always get someone approaching me.

[@tylerweis2803]

I just came across this video because I love my deuce and was STOKED to see my actual bike in it TWICE! along with me and a couple old brothers posing with my deuce!!! Thanks man that’s awesome

[@jjloewenstein]

I have a 2000 Deuce. I have ridden many bikes since I was a teen and I feel as if it was built for me. Every time I’m on the bike I feel as if we are one. Truly love how the Deuce feels.

[@richardguanzon9592]

yeah bro i feel the same way about my deuce

[@dcxplant]

I've had my 2003 Deuce since new. The stretched tank, the drag style rear fender, big wheel (for a factory bike in the early 2000's) disk rear, raked forks, it's a classic IMO. The fuel injected and counter-balanced engine is an absolute gem. The counterbalancing allows for solid motor mounts, which makes this long and low bike handle far better than it should. I put a Progressive air suspension in back and raised the ride height up, and this thing can really boogie on curvy country roads. A very under appreciated and often overlooked model.

[@kevinbruno8961]

We have 2 of them , my wife and I say Double Duece , from the movie Roadhouse

[@Hog-g2z]

I AM BACK , FOR THE SECOND TIME, 😂, I HAVE just purchased another One, DEUCE, 2003 sadly it needs a lot of work on it, The previous owners haven’t looked after it very well, as it looks like it’s been written as a dirtbike, grime mud et cetera under the bike is around quarter inch to 1/ half inch thick in some places, I’ve just imported it from the UK to France, I’ve had to put new tires on it. I’ve now stripping the clutch side down as it needs a new dry belt pulleys et cetera., It has a fault with the alarm system as well. I hate the alarm on this bike., I’ve had to remove the battery, so I’m now thinking of somehow removing the alarm system, somebody has told me about linking a wire through the electronics, but I’m not sure yet what to do, my original bike that I sold in 2019 did not have an alarm on it, and it Had 50,000 miles on the clock roughly it still looked in showroom condition, As I now live in France, I’m struggling to get replacement parts for it, even simple things like gaskets and seals I’ve been told for six weeks, I’m wondering whether my ex partner has got people over here to cause me problems, I believe that I’m still being tracked, Only time will tell, 😂, Ride Safe boys and girls,

[@tyroneshoelace4872]

I know a guy who worked at Harley at the time, and he said that the name came from the fact that it has two wheels. Hence Deuce".

[@brettc9763]

My 40th birthday present to myself. A 2000 deuce big fat, underpowered pig starter bike. And I couldn't even choose the color, had to get what I got. Got lucky with black delivered. Stage 3+ engine build plus thousands in other upgrades and I have a bike I can't sell because it is part of me, the perfect bar hopper.

[@Deuce1553]

love my 2004 Deuce my first Harley and still have it parked beside my Harley bagger

[@marvinr5054]

My 2002 Deuce is my first Harley also and it started the fever for me and mine is parked next to my Ultra Classic and My Street Glide.... keep ridding brother.

[@philvale5724]

Hi 👋, I agree, I had mine from 2000, and 2019, blue and silver, it was a great bike, that served me well, hopefully next year I’ll be been trying to find another one, stay safe, Phil from the moulin France.

[@mikeanderson4867]

Congrats! Im lookin at 2 that are in my area. That 88 KICKS ASS! Damn it had powah 🔥🤟🏻

[@scottke7350]

I ride a 2000 Deuce, and I ride with a lot of friends, but I am constantly told that mine is "sexier" than my friends (they have amazing bikes). I absolutely love it.

[@dustytales5829]

I’ve been asked, what Harley is that. It looks long. I am so happy to own my dream bike.

[@scottke7350]

@@dustytales5829 That is exactly how I feel.

[@TrumanEwing]

I thought Deuce was for twin cam.

[@itsdefinitelytrue7600]

So here goes another theory. Someone told me that it was based on the Manfred Mann song Blinded by the Light and that song talks about a deuce motorcycle and that's a motorcycle with two engines.

[@mattg432]

Well, from the 1968 movie "2001 space odyssee" till the Prince song "party like its 1999", everybody was looking forward to the year 2000, also called 2K, or just 2. HD jumped on the 2K craze bandwagon, actually had a new V2 big twin engine with 2 cam shafts, modified the softail frame with wider fender struts to house a 2" wider rear tyre, put a 2" (or so) longer yet slim tank on top, fitted it with a Roulette design disc wheel as gambling reference, and called the new model Deuce.

[@DTClen]

Dude did you make this video when you were coked out or something??? I can’t even pause the video to look at a picture without having to rewind 100 times

[@jimr898]

Love my 04 ✊ little over 5 years no problems as a second owner. Very low miles yet and my first Harley. I seen two triked out. We love trike mine that sounds giving point in the near future would be great.

[@ralphkuheana5603]

I have a 2007 Deuce guessing, that was the last year they made the 96cu. motor. I love my deuce.

[@dustytales5829]

I am looking to upgrade to a 96 or 103. If I am lucky to a 110 se. we will see what happens.

[@justicegusting2476]

@@dustytales5829 My 2007 is a 103 with a mid-range cam, high compression pistons, ported and polished, 2 in 1 exhaust, screamin’ eagle clutch. I LOVE it and you can have it when you pry it from my cold, dead hands.

[@robertrosson1990]

I have a 05 Dues the only thing IV change was that big bulky seat for one that was a slimmer style that flows with the bike who ever own it before me install those shorty type of pipes they sprung good but even after heat wrapping they still will warm your thigh up.I do plan to find a set that will fit with the floorboards I installed other that I enjoy getting out and let her stretch her wing on the Hwy.

[@williamjohnson6517]

@@robertrosson1990 you do know Robert the bug bear with early twin Cam motors is the cam chain tensioners. If you do nothing else to your bike make sure you keep an eye on them because if they break up then it's usually no bueno for the motor. I put in S+S full works Gear Drive with 509G cams . I'm told some bikes lasted 90 /100,000 miles some crapped out at 10,000.

I sold my ultra classic and two of my roadking after the covid it was to heavy to handle at turning, After that I only kept my deuce and I figured I just need. Honda shadow 750 to ride on backroads and canyon's , not bad handles fine but my Harley deuce is the best handeling bike I can ever imagine, the power and the sound is phenomenal , the most enjoyable bike I can ever owned , besides the Java 350 two stroke 42years ago , I'm selling my Honda in a month with only 8 k miles on it but I will never sell or trade my Deuce .I know the Shadow is very reliable , runs great, & also sounds like a Japanese Farts,just no satisfaction after the Harley Deuce .

Had a 2004 and it was the best I ever owned.

[@carlderfler5006]

Very cool video! I'm a huge admirer of the Deuce but I'm on the brother of the Deuce , a Night train but I say brother because the two Softails have so much in common that they are kinda twin bros but not identical but what's called fraternal. Peace!

[@r.i.p2464]

I have both, they are just the same bike but i love the looks of my nightrian more. The rake of the deuce barely makes a difference to make it feel like a different bike than the other skinny front softail models.

[@old_shupshe]

The frame backbone is not 2" longer. It uses the same frame as all other softail. The tank is 2" longer and has a spacer for the rear bolt. That said, I love my Deuce, it's the most comfortable bike I've ever ridden.

[@mattg432]

Right. It is obvious that the tank is longer than on other Harley Twincam, covering all of the rear cyclinder head, yet people still believe the frame is different.

[@jimr898]

Correct on the tank longer
