Oh it's commin! you bettter believe it's comming. I've been waiting patiently for a very long time for this mod. Getting tons of help doing it.

Without a doubt I have to give tons of credit to Crypto for pointing me in the right direction, and putting out excellent illustrations on his own springer nightster project about a year ago.

The most difficult task we're hitting is aquiring a good turning radius. So we've been grinding away at the lower tree little by little. Tomorrow we're installing a reinforcement bracket for the lower tree because were gonna go after some more grinding, but we almost got it, and without messing with the structual integrity.

The springer is a -2 and looks to be a DNA knock off from Mid USA but don't quote me on that.

Pics look kinda funny, but I assure you that the length is actually a tad smaller than the stock frontend because it lowered my front just a hair. which makes the bike level now because I had lowered the rear before already. Bike looks awsome when it's sitting on the ground.

Will post more pics when complete.

 

Is that bike hard to ride its looks really uncomfortable

 

thats awesome!!! how much do u think this mod is costing/gonna cost ya?

 

Nah it feels great, for me anyways. I once put on some inverted bars and yeah...that was a big mistake on my back. but I love the drag bars. They got moved in these pics though. they're kinda facing down right now but i'll fix them once out of the shop.

 

I think it looks great! I've been thinking about getting springer forks for my nightster too!

 

Sharp looking bike.

 

I converted an 06 sporty ove to a springer (DNA) two years ago. I had to install a spacer below the neck to extend the lower triple tree further down. I accomplished this by cutting the top collar nut in half. Yes, I said in half. It still won't give you enough turning radius without having to notch the frame. And believe me when I say this, because I have donw some pretty crazy mods in my life. But, the cheap DNA front end on a late model sporty is a battle you might lose. Not saying this for any other reason ,but to give you the insight that I didn't have. You know that Paughco makes a springer that bolts right on to that frame, right? What did you do to the fork lock that gets in the way of the front end?

 

You're doing a great job! Your bike looks sooooo good!

 

I'm in love. With. Your. Bike.

 

Siiiick!
