Default springer front end???

I'm thinking of buying a 2008 street bob with front end damage. It was in a rear-ender and will obviously need a complete front end. So i was thinking i'd like to put a springer on it but not sure what brand to go with. I've heard mixed things about DNA, probably more bad than good. So if any body has ant suggestions on other brands or input about DNA it would be much appreciated.

I've had experience withe more than a few and found the factory HD to be the best riding safest one. My after market ones were all like pogo sticks. Which is not fun in a corner. You bounce out to the edge of the road. Even my factory original onmy 48 pan was safer than a new aftermarket one. IMO.

Not sure if the neck is the same but having a machinest swap out the stem should be not big of a deal.

Put a crossbones springer on it with a 21" wheel.

If I'm not mistaken Paughco makes one specifically for the Dyna neck. That would be your best bet next to genuine HD.

There is a post on here by a member that swapped a DNA onto his Dyna. Wasn't happy with it so he swapped it for a Paughco and raved about how good it was.
