So my chopper is a 42 inch rake and I'm running a dna Springer on it. All I hear is negative on that Springer sayin dna sucks. I want to keep the springer look. Anyone know other companies who make a good one?

 

I've heard quite a bit about about DNA forks cracking, but I've never ran with them so I can't say one way or another if they're any good. I'd assume you get what you pay for.

Suggestions on good forks depends on how much you want to spend.

Sugar Bears are really nice, both in quality and design, but they run about $2600 and up.

Mid-range I would suggest looking at Acme Choppers. I own one of their Wide Glide springers. They're very well crafted, look good and came highly recommended by several people when I was searching. They cost me a grand when I bought them a year ago, but they're going for $1250 now. $1450 with the center shock. I think it took me about 2 1/2 months to get them after I placed the order (they called me asking for some specs and preferences through the fabrication process, then shipping), but it was worth the wait. Nice forks.

I agree with SugarBears, but you gotta go with his Signature Rocker Style.

I like my DNA just fine. No troubles so far.

 

That's wild looking I like that. My problem is I got 42" rake so how do I know what size springer I'd need

 

How long have you had it? I had mine for couple months only thing so far that broke was the long rod that goes through the springs that you bolt ftom top to bottom. Mine snapped an the bottom and lucky wasn't goin fast and caught the spring it shot up in the air

 

 

 

Here's a calculator that you can use as a starting point to get an idea on what length forks you'll need (though I wouldn't rely on an internet calculator alone).

You'll need to gather the following measurements (each of which are explained at the link):

• Diameter of front tire
• Rake
• Triple Clamp Offset
• Neck Height
• Triple Tree Rake

I believe "stock" length is just about 31". In that case, if the calc is giving you a fork length of 41", you'd want to get yourself 10 overs.

 

Holy sh*t.
