So sorry to hear that Chap, we know how frustrating it is to have your bike down. I had a bad feeling about this when you mentioned spacers would have to be made by your indy. It's been said that they're a stand up company that's willing to make things good on their dime. If this is correct, I would expect them to cover all extra costs involved in getting their wheels to fit your bike.
Wish you the best!

Chap sorry for your troubles.I know you are pissed and rightfully so.But I think you are still better off with the RW in the long run. I think you are giving DNA too much credit in assuming they'd fit. Good thing about the RW's are once the problem is fixed its fixed.You don't usually hear of them with flaking powder coat or chrome, loose spokes or leaking air.It sucks you have to wait 2 weeks to hear back.But if they were DNA's from what I have read you would be waiting more like 2 months to hear anything.Hang in there everything will work out.Good Luck man.

In my case only things i had to have done was new spacers lathed for correct fitment. And my front wheel valve stem opening enlarged 1/32 or so (I hear DNA has since solved this). Which wasn't a big deal at all... Because a HD dealer did it.
All companies have their flaws... All of them. And everybody has their own opinions on parts... but for me i would buy 2 sets (wheels, rotors, pulley) for one set of RW (just wheels) any day.
Last year it was it was f**k DNA... This year its f**k RW... who's next?... lol

I dont care what anybody says, I aint riding around on some DNA, Chinese sweatshop wheels! I live in America and I buy American. I burns my back side to read this crap. Ive owned my own business for 25 years and I know what its like to have growing pains compounded by retard employees who drop the ball and make your business look bad. And if any of you haters run your own show, you know what Im sayin! If all you clock punchers know so much about customer service and business management, step up to the plate and open up your own wheel company where every wheel is perfect and there is never a shipping mistake made. I cant believe there are this many perfect people in one forum, Im truly blessed to be a member.
