Yes sir they are. Here in the states theres only 2 ways to get em, either flatlandmc (google it I dont know the adress) or custom chrome which I personally would stay away from usually due to lower end quality but in this case these are made in the same factory and sold under diffrent distributors. In fact the quality on these is pretty damn good but it comes with flat black springs so be prepared to pay for a new set of chrome springs if thats your taste.

Thanks for the infos Bradley ! Will def be a good option for a future project , don't want to get the cheap DNA and hard to find an OEM springer front end at a decent price nowdays !

Thank Bradley... I could just imagine what it cost you... But you're right sometimes you gotta do it right and by the way your bike looks it was worth it!

Eventually...I'm going to stick with my 17x6.5 solid rear though to keep the spirit of the Deuce alive.
