Been looking for my wife's next bike for a while now and she settled on the 04 SE Deuce a few weeks ago. That set the wheels in motion and a nation-wide search ensued. Just missed a great deal on e-bay but was fortunate enough to find one nearly in my back yard last week. Bike was in Green Bay, WI. 3,175 miles and in near mint condition. Price was more than reasonable so I flew over Tuesday and drove it home. First 260 miles were shear heaven and then the heavens opened up and it poured for the last 25 miles. Fortunately, I was prepared. Had my FXRG gear along (yes, it doubles as rain gear) and stayed dry but hit the Twin Cities at rush hour so it was a bit hairy the last few miles. Bike rides like a dream. Makes my Wide Glide seem a bit rough but I like it that way. My wife is thrilled and now we set about making the transition from her Suzuki S50 to the Deuce. I'll post more photos when the new pilot is aboard. Glad to join this group of happy owners. Read every thread before taking the leap. Seems like everyone loves the bike and that helped in the decision process.

Any of you Deuce owners with photos of your bike with saddlebags (hard or soft), I would like to know how you settled on your solution.

Original owner had made some nice mods. Headlight, some Kuryakyn chrome covers, sissy bar, backrest and luggage rack. We'll make a few more. Looking at a Corbin close gunfighter saddle to get Kandy moved forward a bit. Bags and more chrome will come shortly.

Photo of the two SE's. Thought it would take a bit longer to get Kandy enthused about a Harley. She's a quick learner!

Get acquisition. Can't wait to see the mods begin!

First photo of Kandy riding her new scoot. She did a few laps around the parking lot & it's about 40 acres so she got through a few gears. Said it felt better than she had imagined. A few days and she'll be out on the open road. Ordered a Corbin Close Gunfighter saddle for her last week. That will push her forward an inch or so. Will help with kickstand reach, comfort on the forward controls and the seat height will be lower so she'll get feet on the ground easier.

Finally got some of the mods done to Kandy's scoot. Took an extra week because a simple oil change turned into a major project due to a pinched oil drain tube assembly. $15 in parts took 5 days to arrive.

Got the Corbin Close Gunfighter and it does exactly what it advertises, moves her about 1.5 inches closer to the pegs, lowers her just a spot and is narrower at the thighs so her feet sit more squarely on the ground. Looking forward to her putting some miles on.

also put on the HD integrated turn signal mirrors. Like the more streamlined look after losing the old turn signals.

HOLY CRAP, B.E.!  Now I'm going to have TWO of your bikes to lust over.

Nice present to the wife!  (and she looks GOOD on it!)

Enjoy them both....  (Hmm, that didn't sound good, did it?)

Had the seat blue stitched. Turned out well but you have to take off the backrest and the luggage rack and use a bit of force to get the seat on the bike. Fortunately, we won't be switching seats much.

Got a backrest for those longer jaunts.

Installed a set of the Kuryakyn highway peg extenders. like them so much on my bike. Used the passenger pegs because Kandy won't be taking anyone two-up on this bike. Had to do some dremel work to get the pegs to work but it came out ok.

Brake side had no issues.

Got the nice Marlins horseshoe thermometer and clock. Cockpit looks nice. First owner put on the Kuryakyn LED fuel gauge/amp meter and gas cap. Thinking about the HD flush mount set but this will work for now.

Throttle side shows the nice chrome nibliks - switch covers, throttle cable covers, switch for the new Power Demons outlets.
