Wanted to share my simple facelift that has become a little more than just a front end swap as I had planned.
Brand new in 08 when I brought it home
A couple days later...and as it has been since 08.
I've been reluctant to change anything on it because it's the first bike I've really customized. Super common to see but was cool 4 years ago. I haven't been riding it much. Maybe because I was bored with it so I decided it was time to change something.
One thing you can't buy cheap is a springer front end for these. Not a traditional looking springer anyway. I have about $700 in mine and I think it'll do the trick.
Started with a plain old DNA, measured & calculated every aspect I could think of and came up with the necessary mods to do this right giving me 4+ inches of trail, the height I want and adding some functionality to the downtrodden DNA.
Most pics are self explanitory but I have lots of other pics if there are questions.
Started with a new top clamp.
