Default Best quality front end options for Dyna

Anyone replace the forks or the whole suspension system on their Dyna? Just exploring what options are out there and opinions on the best systems.

This Dyna appears to have a Krauss Dynamoto kit on it. Anyone have any experience with these? Wonder how it compares to Ohlins.

It IS an Ohlins suspension. Kraus fabbed the trees and put the kit together.

If you look at the features, it is Ohlin R&T forks.. So I guess they'd compare about the same...

The forks, shocks, wheels, rotors and brakes, chewed a big hole in a 10,000 dollar bill...

Yeah, I was thinking that setup would run about 10 large when I saw the first picture. The front suspension alone is 3-4. Another 1500 on the rear suspension, and I would assume the wheels, and braking systems would top off that bill.

I bet it corners like no there Dyna.
