HARLEY-DAVIDSON DEUCE (1999 - 2005) Review

Brakes OK for the way I ride. Rear suspension can get a bit harsh on Britain's lovely smooth roads (not). Good for a couple of hours before a break but I do have a replacement seat.

Nice bit of low down torque, just as is should be.

Build quality seems excellent, no visible deterioration in 20 years must prove something.

As an engineer I do my own servicing so cost is just consumables. I do get through a fair amount of fuel but I calculate about 45 miles per UK gallon which is OK for such a heavy lump.

I like simple, so the Deuce suits me perfectly, no electronic gizmos, sound systems or other junk to distract from the ride.

could do with twin discs on front, a little bumpy with underslung shocks compared to dyne models with rear shocks.

never any issues,

Never broken down in 19 years of ownership, since 2010 i have serviced myself every year regardless of mileage. no corrosion, possibly for the fact that i try not to take it in the wet.

poor MPG at 36 max and small tank doesn't help.

not much in the additional equipment area but i have changed a few items for better quality chrome parts.

Smooth ride, and shuts down when I want it to

88b… I LOVE my 88b. One of the best motors Harley ever made. 65,000 miles and still don’t have a leak and run with modified 103’s.

Just a good cruiser bike. It’s comfortable, fast, loud, and I look good on it. Everyone loves my deuce

I run commander 2’s and they last and grip the road, my main cost is oil changes.. local Harley shop rapes me at over $500 for full service.

My mirrors suck, poor visibility and I don’t like the standard look of the turn signals, and the headlight sucks. Needs an LED

New avon cobra chromes makes my day and night.

Now it is good. GREAT!!!!

All accesories are DEUCE ONLY get used to it.

Cam chain tensioners a weak link (gear drive)

Nothing special stock with marshmallow forks and stiff rear shocks. Progressive springs and shocks out back bring this up to a 4.5/5. SE Deuce got twin rotors so much better braking than the stock single rotor. But still braking is just very good and not excellent.

Mine has the fun 1550cc/95" SE engine. It's cammed and has V&H pipes so it has that lopey idle that's classic HD. It makes beautiful music. Midrange torque comes one very strong. Knock off 1 star for H-D's weak cam chain tensioner on this year.

Super high quality paint with hand fitted gold leaf and custom paint. All chrome parts throughout, Chrome horseshoe gas tank and painted frame. Fasteners and cables hidden.

Super cheap on the used market these days, but were a small fortune new so a great bargain and excellent value now. I keep up on the maintenance of my bikes and H-D is much less in running costs compared to my other bikes with no coolant to change and valves to adjust.

This has every SE part available for it's year from top to bottom. Nothing left off the table and hard pressed to find a better looking production motorcycle for what these cost used.

Very smooth engine. Plenty of power for cruising.

Haven't owned the bike long but so far, so good.

Brakes could be a little better. After an hour of riding it's nice to stop and stretch the legs. But overall a nice bike

Plenty of smooth power. Does the speed limit and then some

Hasn't let me down yet

It's a Harley

Looks great comfy ride. I'm happy

i have a complete Screamins' eagle engine... Horsepower!

in 15 years, only problem was with the alternator

i do any work myself. only the costs of oil, filter.

oem footpegs = horrible!
