Be careful with that DNA springer, I've heard and seen the aftermath of those failing.
Great looking bike...really like what you did with the bars. Really too nice of a bike to have that cheap springer on it...if you put any miles on it, the rockers will be shot in a year...I'd start saving for an oem one.
I like it. The only thing I think it needs to really look like an old school is a different rear fender. But then again I have always hated the HD rear fenders with the tail that flips up.
So you think the 'fake centerpost' has no importance structurally to the engine stability or to the frame?
I really does not. It is just a stamped piece of sheet metal rolled. The bottom has no strength or integrity, just a couple holes punched through without any reinforcement. It would not hold any weight.
