I'm on my second set of Metzeler 880's on my Heritage and I like how they handle. Not that this helps with your Deuce, but the 880 tire in general is a good choice IMO. The only thing I would suggest is to keep your tire types paired, so if thinking about a Metzeler for the rear you should do the same up front. Otherwise you may get some strange handling issues.
