Hey bikerlaw looks good... Like said above love the stance of the bike. But what is that tag on your tool bag? Bike looks good man!

Revolution can you post a better picture of your front end? That looks good too! Like the tall sissy bar with that front end.. Also looks good!

Correct. Stock frame. Not cut or modded. Stock rake 3 over Springer. Rode and handled well. Obviously a Springer will never compete with modern hydraulic forks in the twisties. But they ride nice, handle good and look better than anything the Moco ever put on a Dyna.

Here in the state of Virginia, motorcycle safety inspection is mandatory. That sticker must be displayed at all times or the cops will write you a nice invitation to visit them in court. The plate is just a place to put it.

Lol..... Wait, what????

My pictures quite prominently display the bike has a license plate on the rear fender. Where pretty much EVERY motorcycle has them mounted. The inspection sticker in question, is a STICKER. You get that right? Its a sticker.....
It has nothing whatsoever to do with the license plate, and in Virginia, as with many states that require motorcycles be inspected, it must be predominantly displayed somewhere on the motorcycle. Many people simply slap them on the fork lowers. Other's like me, buy or make a metal tag, bolt it to the bike and display it that way. Not sure where all the confusion came from a yearly orange and white inspection sticker. Hope that helps?

Those are likely the Chinese DNA forks.
They are cheap, they rattle and took a crapload of work to get on my Dyna. And I lost turning radius. For the price they can't be beat, but Paughco Springers are exponentially better forks. But very pricey.

I ran the DNA's first as seen in this picture. Unless I was building a budget bike...... Which I had done, I would choose a better brand.

Bikerlaw, that has to be one of the best looking Dynas I have seen. Well done! Those 14 or 16 bars?

I sold that bike some time ago, but if memory serves, they were 12 inch bars on 4, or maybe 5 inch risers.

Ahhhh thanks bikerlaw.. Guess I mis read your post originally as I do most of the reading while watching TV.. Sorry..
Inspections aren't done down here on bikes nor cars. Maybe that's why there are so many cars without brake lights! But 99.8 percent of the bikes I have seen all have operating lights and safety features.

Never the less your bike still looks good..


But I do have a question about springer front end measurements? When it says plus 2 or minus 2. That means two inches forward or back? Or is it the height of the bars on the front end itself?
Always liked the look of a springer, but never really looked into them or studied them.

Thanks
