Springer front for my Street BOB

The only company that I am aware of that makes a direct bolt on Springer for the Dyna neck is Paughco. The problem is that Paughco has figured out that Dyna's have different necks than Softails and Shovelheads, and standard forks for those bikes won't fit Dyna's. So they rape your a$$ to the tune of about two thousand dollars for just the forks. I am currently running the Paughco Springer as shown in the pictures. If you have the time and inclination, you can "make" a DNA or any of the variants fit. It required a pissload of grinding, and in the case of my '96 it also required me to modify my front tank mount as well. That being said, cheap chinese front ends are just that..... cheap pieces of crap. When I upgraded from a DNA to a Paughco, the difference was well worth the added expense. I suggest you buy the Paughco, but if your on a budget the DNA will get a Springer on the bike. Just be forewarned, if your not doing the install yourself be prepared to pay a shop quite a bit of cash to modify the chinese junk pile front end. Money that you could spend on a better front end thats a simple bolt on.

As bikerlaw said there are a few other brand you can get they will run you ablut 600-800 maybe a Grand for one of those and as he also siad they arent the best quality etc etc... A shop will do the swap for you probably around a few hundos I think I got qouted for my FXDF with a springer front end its was $1200-1500 they told me... But as ^^^ said its worth getting a real nice one like Paugcho but it all depends how much $$$ you want to spend...

As far as I know Paughco only makes one model Springer for the Dyna line. The make it in 3 inch options. The one pictured on my Low Rider was the 3 over Springer. I ran a stock length 22 inch DNA for a while as well. But I thought the 3 over Paughco looked more proper on the bike. Mine was what they call stock rake. But I think Paughco will add 3 degrees of rake as an option.
