by the time you add the front forks and rockers that front axle is looking like it's 8" out frome the stock location.I think I've seen that gal in a video riding a 4 wheeler.

I have a 2000 Deuce and am thinking on putting a springer frontend on it ?
I would like to put a stretch frontend on it if I could get away with off-set triple clamps.
I'm not looking for a really stretched frontend, but something about maybe a foot more stretched out.
Any ideas ?
Thanks for you input and ideas,
Bobby Field.

Good to se you here Badinc1! (We go way back...Bobby has built some clean show vehicles.) Sounds like you're onto another cool project. I think Chuck/TXOutlaw has some sound advice. Can't give you any firsthand info; I've done DNA springers on a custom Heritage and a Sporty but never a Duece.

That's what I was thinking of doing.
I think that it would look pretty cool on this bike, and I haven't seen it done before to a Deuce, which would make it unique.

Thanks Brian !
I meet Brian back when he worked for the magazine "Popular Cars" back in the 80's when I was touring the I.S.C.A. [International Show Car Assoc.] circuit with my award winning 6-71 blown Candy Apple Red metalflake 1977 Chevy ElCamino SS show car named "Bad Company". I was 1985-87 International Show Car Assoc. Custom Pick-up World Champion with that car/pick-up. Hence the id name: Badinc1.
Brian is a great guy and is very talented not only with being a famous journalist for many National magazines, but also with fabbing, custom painting, and hot rodding anything he can put his hands on.
It's great to hear from you again Brian !
Keep in touch,
Bobby.
