No..no..and no. Deuce front end is nice as is..maybe chrome lowers and a fender change but a springer.. nope.

I think it'd look good, and is definitely different. But I think a springer looks good on anything.

I'm gonna say don't do it. The only reason I say that is because I've never seen it before and I wanted to be the first. I love Springers and the only bike I would willingly trade mine for is the '08 CVO Springer. That thing is sweet. I figured I could change the front end on my bike and have the best of both worlds. I think it would look pretty cool. I ofter wonder if it would kill the look of the Deuce, which I don't want to do, but I think it will actually add to the look. The rake and width of the forks wouldn't be changed. It would just have a little more chrome up front. If you wind up putting the Springer front end on it, definitely post some pictures.
