Custom Chrome bankrupt.........

almost.......essentially, they have filed for bankruptcy protection and are being bought by the Korean firm which has made parts and latterly RevTech motors for them since the 1980s.

But they are in deep chrome-coated doo-doo.......''assets of $40.9 million and liabilities of $189.7 million''.......hmmmmmm

And that's not all. Big aftermarket chopper brand American Ironhorse shuts production....''temporarily''. The last two paragraphs are quite telling

No one does any work once they've handed in their notice.

Re: Custom Chrome bankrupt.........

No surprise there, esp over here. They have been getting harder & harder to deal with for a while. Parts never in stock, always back ordered. Very poor service. Not least.....Most of their stuff is junk.
We deal with Drag Specialties, who are soon coming to Europe. Thay are a large operation, & far, far better.

Re: Custom Chrome bankrupt.........

Are you saying Drag Specialties are bust Kiwi???

This is what my link is to?


When you need top-quality parts for your Harley Davidson or Custom Motorcycle, you can count on Drag Specialties.
