Ditch the DNA springer and get a factory, vtwin mfg, or Zero eng springer. The DNA springer is made for show use only and made from cheese.

I would seriously call 3/2 and ask for JC he will help you out.And don't forget, HD makes one of the best springer fronts out there.(Just on the high side.)

I did and they are the same!!!! damn damn damn however on tuesday im going to order a wishbone kit I talked to Jc and they were very helpful even though they were busy!!! he explained not only what to check on my front end now but also how they design there's about 3/8 longer at the end and he also stated that it will more than likely help with the pogo effect..... although this is not a solid yes i believe that do to the crappy design of the Mid-USA/DNA this will improve it greatly along with making it look just badass as hell

Don't take me wrong, your bike looks really cool, but I think you're asking too much from a springer style suspension. The tech just isn't up to the task of suspending a 670lb motorcycle at high speed.

You may, probably will, see improvement by upgrading to the highest quality components, but it will never react as quickly to surface disruptions as a modern design.

It's similar to a comparison of leaf springs Vs coil-over independent suspension on a sports car. You can make it the best it can be, but it will never perform as well as the modern designs.
