    Congrats on what looks like a very NICE setup, I can tell by the pics that you have a lot of engineering and fab work into this setup please keep us posted on how it works in the actual crappy white stuff, if it works half as good as it looks it should be great! Nice work setting this one up! Karl

    First Deuce Winter Experience

    When I ran my first Deuce in the winter I over time came up with a list of MUST HAVES to make it work reliably! Number one on the list is a BLOCK HEATER, the flame starters and great but only reliable down to about 10 degrees Number 2 on the list is a winter front, no this is NOT an optional...

    Battery box insulation?

    Insulating the battery box will do nothing to help your starting situation, if you put a heated pad under the battery then insulate it that would be a good start! But if you put a small charger on the battery and you had a block heater on the engine you would then be GOLDEN! Block heaters are...

    air brakes release with engine not running

    Hey guys I am sure this is a stupid question but the only answer I could find in the TMs was to cage the brakes, I am looking for an easier way. I am taking delivery of an M920 and since its so cold here there is a possibility of the engine not starting, and if that is the case that means NO...

    What mods would you say are the most important or give the most utility to a deuce?

    Making a Deuce more of a utility vehicle? If the LDT engine is in decent shape its a very good engine, spin on filters certainly help with Maintenance, higher cruising speed? changing engines, changing transmissions, improving fuel economy (WHY they are already very economical) how about...
