To see what I've metioned you'll probably want at least 3-4 days in the area. I would try to camp closer to Rapid City to be more central to the sights. I camped at Rafter J Bar Ranch which is real close to Mt Rusmore.

I would not do it on my Street Glide. Saloon #10 is OK, but it's not the original place that Wild Bill was shot, that's up the street.

Personally I think you could do it all in one day easy, unless you want to do some of the runs like Spearfish Canyon, the Pigtails, Mt. Rushmore.

To me, there is more to see outside of Deadwood than in it.

If I were doing it for the first time and hitting the areas around there I would spend 2 to 3 days - If just Deadwood it would be an overnighter.
