Harley-Davidson FXSTD Softail Deuce reviews

I have owned 3 Heritages. The 2014 is lighter and more nimble then it’s two predecessors that I owned. Balance is also quite impressive. Engine vibration is gone and absolutely very reliable. At 70 mph on the highway it just eats up the road. This is the best of the 3 that I have owned. Show less

I’ve been riding Harleys since the 1970s. Back then we would call this model a geezer glide. Now it fits me perfectly. Smooth ride, good looking, sounds great, everyone comments how good it looks. I guess I’m officially a geezer….Yikes!!!! Show less

I bought the bike in 2014 with about 20,000 miles on it, after a full day of thorough cleaning it looked like new again. White with red trim. I’ve owned 28 Harleys and this HS is definitely the best looking and a great ride. I regret trading it. I’m 74 years old and looking for another Heritage Springer , probably my last bike. Show less

This bike is fun, runs and rides great and is absolutely beautiful. Handles great and is as advertised. There are a lot of extras on this bike that make it unique and one of a kind. Very well taken care of. Show less

IV owned several Harleys over the years.After having a hip replacement I had a harder time with my 1997 Ultra Classic.So I sold it and got a 1998 fat boy,great bike lots of crime.After having it a couple years I sold it. Missing my love of riding I was out and about and came across a 2005 Soft Tail Deuse.Right away I knew it was calling me to taking her home.Iv had my 2005 with the much better EFI and have enjoyed my Deuse to this day I changed the stock seat to a custom seat that fits the styling if the bike slim sleek front end that has that nice flow toward the plump rear Its a very comfortable bike since I lowered it just enough to allow the rear fender swallow the gap that the stock setup had.The only complaint is I wish Harley had made provisions to allow to be able to add quick disconnects for bags.But a set of throw overs work well with my custom seat.And it would not hurt to be able to add a quick disconnect windshield.But I managed to fit a set on the front forks.Other than that my 2005 Deuse is a fantastic bike for the money.Mine only has just over 10400 miles.It worth checking the chain tensioners from time to time being a twin cam.Iv removed my cam cover at the 10k mark and the chain tensioners were still in good shape.But me being me I did upgraded my cam chest with hydrologic chain tensioners and a high flow oil pump.I only did the upgrade just because I felt it would be and is a bit better than the stock setup.I know if I took a 5 or 6 hour ride I'm more than comfendent that she is a no worry and dependable bike to take me on any journey without any issues.Other that those couple of upgrades and installing a new set of tires for safety I love to get on my Deuce and fill up the gas tank and enjoy my journey knowing my Deuse will get me there.Simply keep up with the maintenance and it's a trouble free bike as far as I'm concerned.Its a shame Harley discontinued the Deuse model in 2007.They had a winner from 2000 till 2007.Peace to all.Ride till you fill your to old.

I purchased a 2017 Deluxe so I could get the last good model with a softer rider and proven workmanship. Love this bike, it is a great solo bike and with add ons, you can make it a touring bike. rode 5000 miles coast to coast in less than 11 days and enjoyed every minute of it, especially with a Corbin seat and back rest.

I saw the motorcycle on cycletrader.com, gave the owner a call and went to see the bike. It was incredibly clean. The paint and chrome were perfect. The miles were actually one thousand lower than the listing stated. The owner had done a great job of maintaining the bike. I went back the next day and bought it. I got a great deal and truly enjoy riding the bike. I will certainly use cycletrader.com in the future. Show less

Great bike! Previous owner must have shared the same vision for a “Cholo” style Softail as he/she had already added several aftermarket parts. It’s exactly what I was looking for and I love it. I have some plans of my own for the bike to add that personalized touch. Show less

The bike speaks for itself, Harley finally made inroads to a better riding and operating motorcycle. Reliability remains to be seen! I worked with Cody at Honda of Marysville in Ohio and was treated excellent. Cody is an excellent guy to work with. His knowledge and availability for fielding questions is spot on. All in all my experience was one of if not the best ever! Show less
