Harley Davidson Deuce sells for around 30 grand. It is the old law of supply and demand. The demand for this bike is high and dealers are challenged to keep a supply on hand. As a buyer that makes it a bit difficult to bargain the price down. Because if you don't buy it at the asking price than the next guy will. But you do get what you pay for and there is a reason that this bike is selling as well as it is.
Here are a few details about the Deuce. It is a motorcycle that is part of the Harley Davidson softail line. This line of bikes is known for their adjustable rear suspension systems. Harley-Davidson is actually the originator for the softail suspension system. And those that are first are typically the best. Softtail means exactly what it sounds like it means. It is soft on the tail. Harley riders typically don't ride their bikes to the grocery store. They are known for their long all day drives. That's when a soft tail system is really going to be appreciated.
The Softail Deuce like all the other HD bikes looks really great. That is the emotional reason that people buy these motorcycles. The rational reason that people buy them is because they are quality built and have a lot of power. But the looks are what really gets you. And it's one thing to see the bike in a photo that you will be sold when you see it in person.
This particular Harley Davidson bike looks smaller than it actually is. And this bike is known for having a lot of chrome. Do you remember that country music song from a few years back? Chrome, chrome, everywhere is chrome. That song could be an apt description for the Deuce. So according to the song the women love all that chrome, and so do the guys. It does make for a beautiful motorcycle.
However, as with buying any bike, you want to take it out for a ride and make sure that the sun doesn't create too much glare reflecting off of the chrome. That might help oncoming traffic so you better but you wouldn't want it to blind you said that you could not see. So make sure that the bike works for you.
We mentioned earlier in this article the hefty price for this bike and it would be a great temptation to try to find something cheaper. And you may be able to find something less expensive, but it will not be as high a quality as the Harley Davidson brand is known for.
One final thing about this model is that it is not as loud as some of the other cycles are. That may be a negative for you or it may be a positive. If you love the roar of the loud engine then you may want to look at other Harleys. But if you want something that won't cause you and your neighbors to become deaf, then you'll want to consider this bike. And if you decide later that you want a little more sound you can always make adjustments in the pipes.

Trouble Shooting Suspension Problems.
Adjustment locations: Forks Rebound adjustment (if applicable)
is located near the top of the fork. Compression adjustment (if
applicable) is located near the bottom of the fork. Spring
preload adjustment (if applicable) is generally hex style and
located at the top of the fork. Lack of Rebound Symptoms: •
Forks are plush, but increasing speed causes loss of control and
traction • The motorcycle wallows and tends to run wide exiting
the turn causing fading traction and loss of control. • When
taking a corner a speed, you experience front-end chatter, loss
of traction and control. • Aggressive input at speed lessons
control and chassis attitude suffers. • Front end fails to
recover after aggressive input over bumpy surfaces. Solution:
Insufficient rebound. Increase rebound "gradually" until control
and traction are optimized and chatter is gone. Too Much Rebound
Symptoms: • Front end feels locked up resulting in harsh ride. •
Suspension tucks in and fails to return, giving a harsh ride.
Typically after the first bump, the bike will skip over
subsequent bumps and want to tuck the front. • With
acceleration, the front end will tank slap or shake violently
due to lack of front wheel tire contact. Solution: Too much
rebound. Decrease rebound "gradually" until control and traction
are optimized. Lack of Compression Symptoms: • Front-end dives
severely, sometimes bottoming out over heavy bumps or during
aggressive breaking. • Front feels soft or vague similar to lack
of rebound. • When bottoming, a clunk is heard. This is due to
reaching the bottom of fork travel. Solution: Insufficient
compression. Increase "gradually" until control and traction are
optimized. Too Much Compression Symptom: • Front end rides high
through the corners, causing the bike to steer wide. It should
maintain the pre-determined sag, which will allow the steering
geometry to remain constant. Solution: Decrease compression
"gradually" until bike neither bottoms nor rides high. Symptom:
• Front end chatters or shakes entering turns. This is due to
incorrect oil height and/or too much low speed compression
damping. Solution: First, verify that oil height is correct. If
correct, then decrease compression "gradually" until chattering
and shaking ceases. Symptom: • Bumps and ripples are felt
directly in the triple clamps and through the chassis. This
causes the front wheel to bounce over bumps. Solution: Decrease
compression "gradually" until control is regained. Symptom: •
Ride is generally hard, and gets even harder when braking or
entering turns. Solution: Decrease compression "gradually" until
control is regained. Adjustment Locations: Rear Shock Rebound
adjustment (if applicable) is located at the bottom of the
shock. Compression adjustment (if applicable) is located on the
reservoir. Spring prelude is located at the top of the shock.
Shock: Lack of Rebound Symptoms: • The ride will feel soft or
vague and as speed increases, the rear end will want to wallow
and/or weave over bumpy surfaces and traction suffers. • Loss of
traction will cause rear end to pogo or chatter due to shock
returning too fast on exiting a corner. Solution: Insufficient
rebound - Increase rebound until wallowing and weaving
disappears and control and traction are optimized. Shock: Too
Much Rebound Symptoms: • Ride is harsh, suspension control is
limited and traction is lost. • Rear end will pack in, forcing
the bike wide in corners, due to rear squat. It will slow
steering because front end is riding high. • When rear end packs
in, tires generally will overheat and will skip over bumps. •
When chopping throttle, rear end will tend to skip or hop on
entries. Solution: Too much rebound. Decrease rebound
"gradually" until harsh ride is gone and traction is regained.
Decrease rebound to keep rear end from packing. Shock: Lack of
Compression Symptoms: • The bike will not turn in entering a
turn. • With bottoming, control and traction are lost. • With
excessive rear end squat, when accelerating out of corners, the
bike will tend to steer wide. Solution: Insufficient
compression. Increase compression "gradually until traction and
control is optimized and/or excessive rear end squat is gone.
Shock: Too Much Compression Symptoms: • Ride is harsh, but not
as bad as too much rebound. As speed increases, so does
harshness. • There is very little rear end squat. This will
cause loss of traction/sliding. Tire will overheat. • Rear end
will want to kick when going over medium to large bumps.
Solution: Decrease compression until harshness is gone. Decrease
compression until sliding stops and traction is regained.
