I've seen some other posts referring to those and I think the verdict is that they're probably OK for a bobbed deuce, but would probably not be adequate for a 'real' deuce.

I still have to check with them but I would think they are my bobbed Deuce is only 10460 lb my hummer is 10200 lb and it has much smaller disk brakes tire size is going to be the main issue

but trust me Im going to make sure before I put my life or anyone else life at risk
or for that matter spend $2000 on something that wont stop the truck

also I would be upgrading the whole braking system Master Cylinder, Ect

WOW! I must say I am jealous. My buddy an I have just started our overhaul process and I think we share alot of the same ideas. We are planing on doing only about half as much as you have but would love to have some of your input along the way. If you don't mind I would like to PM you and exchange numbers. Truck looks great. If we are ever headed to Kansas we will be sure to come by and take a look.

Looking good... Any reason the speedo and tach trim rings are black and the rest of the gauges are green? Dont get me wrong I am not picking it apart at all just curious. That is one nice Deuce.

What kind of wheels and tires are on your rig?
