Price opinion on Deuce

[Tom of VA]

I saw a Gold and black Deuce this summer and I really like the way looked. I just spotted one for sale near by and was thinking of taking a look. What is a nice Deuce with with 4K miles worth? Is there any issues with the 2003 to look for before buying?
Thanks,
Tom

take a look at mine, a real se deuce with a few mods!  will sell for 23k 5 mags, 25 trophies stops everybody in their tracks

Very nice. I see what you mean, but i was looking for something a little closer by.

Just bought this one 2 months ago, paid $15,900.00. I thought that was fair. Has 11,000 miles on it. '04 SE Deuce.

I was in Longhorn HD in Grand Prairie, TX last week.  They had two of the gold CVO Deuces, both looked immaculate and were $15,999.

The blue is nice too. The more I look at them the more I like the SE Duece. Are there any issues? Is 2003 a good year? Motor or tranny issues?

If you are in the right place at the right time I would say somewhere between $12,500 and $16k depending on milage and condition.  There are tons of bikes for sale at super prices in this economy.

Lotsa SE Deuces for sale on ebay - both 2003's and '04's all colors. Got my wife's last year for just north of $16K but it had a windshield, nice billet headlight and about $2K in other accessories I was going to add already included. I would agree, a great deal would be $12-$13K for a bone stock bike. I haven't seen any of them sell on ebay for north of $14 in quite a while. I figure the value drops about $1K/year, regardless of how low the mileage is.

There are a few minor upgrades/updates on the 2003 vs the 2004, the most singificant is the hydraulic clutch.

I've got a ton of upgrades on mine with 14,000 miles and perfectly mint - new tires, etc, and I started listing it around $19,900 last May. I went down every other week to $17,500 and never got a call though August.  It's been sitting covered since May, and it's gonna stay sitting for that. For the kind of stupid money people are selling these things for, I'll just stick mine behind the bar.

It's crazy when you see $25,000 bikes selling for the same amount of money as a run of the mill Deuce that sold for $10,000 less.

I don't get it, but if you're a buyer, now might be a perfect time to shop. If the economy turns around, the SED values have to start rebounding at some point.

03 has a hydralic clutch also, no diff between the two except color and some other cosmetic items and the 03 is a anniversary model. which, that and 4.00 will get you a cup of coffee!!

Wrong! That's unless YOUR 03 was upgraded, as NO '03 came with the Hydralic Clutch- Do you have a fluid reservior on your left handgrip? There are a few other things that are different too. I had a list that I got somewhere that actually pointed everything out - mostly cosmetic, but there were a few little mechanical things too, like different gauges, larger 180 rear tire vs the 160, etc.

Here's an '04 with 8,300 mile on ebay for $12,750 BIN.

sorry you are mistaken, all 03 se deuces came with hyd. clutch right from factory I bought mine new, came with it I know of a number other ones that were bought new , all se deuces ncame with hyd clutch, dont remember r tire sizes but its all cosmetic, gauges are the same as well spun alum. silver faced speedo w tach, dude the bikes are almose identical except color and trim

Charlie,

You kind of messed up the quote there, but you really, really have to take a look at both bikes side by side, as the differences I've mentioned is true. Doesn't mean one is better than the other, but were are some slight improvements:

- The '03 came with a 160 rear tire vs the 180 rear tire on the '04.
- The '03 came with 6 spoke slotted wheels vs the 3 spoke Detonators on the '04.
- The '03 came with a cable clutch vs the Hydralic Actuated Clutch on the '04. Fact!  Do you have a reservior on the left handle bar?? It's cut and dry man.
- The '03 came with silver faced gauges vs the Spun Aluminum Gauges on the '04.
- The '04 had a leather perferrated seat whereas the '03 did not.
- There was also a very few minor mechanical changes, but nothing like the above. I think '04 got the auto adjusting chain tensioner, that the '03 lacked. Minor stuff.
- The rest are purely cosmetic. '03 had the chrome rear struts and oil tank vs the painted on the '04.

That all said, I obviously think both of them are fantastic looking bikes as evidenced by my ownership.

I'm not saying one is better than the other, but they absolutely are a little different.

Take a look at the pic I grabbed and see if you notice anything that stands out. Here's a hint: Gauges & left Handlebar vs Right.

Heres the same view from a '04
