What Is a Harley Deuce?

A Harley Deuce refers to a Harley-Davidson FXSTD Softail Deuce, a softail motorcycle first introduced in 2000. The Deuce was a softail cruiser with new design features, according to Motorsports-Network.

New Features

Although the Deuce had features common to all 2000 Softails, its unique new design included a stretched fuel tank and front forks that were completely chromed. The integrated instrument panel also was chromed, and there was a 17-inch wide rear tire.

Softail Features

As with earlier softails, the Deuce had shock absorbers hidden under a rigid-looking frame. The new chassis and suspension produced a more comfortable ride. The original Deuce also had a twin-cam 88B engine with counterbalancers that reduced engine vibration.

New Colors

Harley introduced some new colors with the Deuce and other 2000 models, including Concord Purple, Sinister Blue Pearl and several two-tone treatments. Harley produced the Deuce for about seven years before discontinuing it. Used models still are available for sale
