What do you think of the Harley Davidson Softail Deuce?
A long-time H-D admirer, I finally found myself in a position to be able to purchase one, after riding Metrics for 35-plus years.

Which is the only Deuce with a 96 inch engine?

Are there any problems with the Softail Deuce?
I initially noticed two problems with the ’07. First the ’07 runs hotter than the ’02 in stop and go traffic, and secondly there is some 5th gear tranny noise with the ’07 that didn’t exist with the ’02. I solved the heat problem with a remap and the addition of Vance & Hines Big Radius Pipes.
