I know,if you got rid of the rear fender,might as well get a softail custom then,because that is what you will have. Myself,I love the rear fender it's what make a Deuce a Deuce.

I think there are better cam bearings in the 01, I believe the last year for the timken bearings was 02, correct me if I'm wrong.

I would check them out see what one is in better shape. I'm usually a newer model year person if deciding between 2. When I bought my deuce, it was between an 01 maxed out with everything done to it or an 07 on eBay with not much done to it. My decision was easier since there was an engine size difference and the 01 was ugly purple. Bought the 07. I am doing my own thing to the 07. Not what someone else picked out. Just my 2 pennies

I'd probably go with the 01 due to the "extras". Your looking at hundreds of dollars in after market product sometimes. Think about the price you'd pay for pipes intake tuning labor. It adds up. With no change on the duece with those years I'd weigh in the extras that you won't need to but. Like previously stated they don't add to the value of the price you pay or it. But will be put of pokey for you if you need to get all that stuff on your own. If it were different motor sizes that be different but everything is equal with those years so look at the "extras"!
