Default Red-headed stepchild?

Did any of you Deuce riders get the new parts cataloge and notice that the Deuce was absent except for one photo in the paint section? What's up with that? I didn't notice one part in the Softail section for the FXSTD!

HEY, HARLEY-DAVIDSON...ARE YOU LISTENING? WHY AREN'T YOU PROVIDING PARTS FOR THE DEUCE?

Its gotten old reading (not for FXSTD) at the bottom of the ads.

I keep hearing rumors of the model's demise, then later I'll hear about a makeover like the Dyna line received (big rear tire, etc.).
I hear you on the parts issue. I was looking around the dealership the other day, salesman asked ne what model I owned.
My response was that I was the proud owner of a 2004 softail "Except Deuce", since that's reference I am accustomed in the parts books... he left me the hell alone after that.

That's a shame (from a fatboy owner).. 1st time I ever saw the deuce I thought it was one of the coolest hogs I ever saw.. If It weren't that I wanted a fatter tire upfront, it would have been my choice.

Maybe the Deuce is about to be terminated. I can't imagine HD simply leaving it out of Softail lineup pics in the latest cataloge. I can't say that I'd mind. Its a good-looking but rare bike in my neck of the woods and I like having one.

A friend at the dealers told me that this is the last year for the springers. Anyone else hear that?

That's one great reason to own a Deuce, insect...mmm I mean Stealer Salesman repellant! The Deuce was my dream bike. I put $$$ down on one in 2001, got orders to deploy after 9-11, withdrew my offer and regretted it since. But, the bright side was I wouldn't of had much time to ride and I ended up with my new love.

I originally wanted a Deuce, but went the cheaper route and got a Train which I love. Good thing I didn't get it anyway. I would have put some high bars on it and it would have gotten Ugly.

Damn fine those Deuces are.....

It continues to be a mystery to me why HD seems to overlook the Deuce - IMHO it is the finest looking machine HD makes. Not too bad of an after market though.
