Any of y'all used a cheapo DNA or paughco springer front end on your softail? I have an 05' FXST and I'm curious which length to use? I currently have a dropped front end, so I'd like to keep it low with the springer. I've been told -2 is stock length, so would a -4 be the 2" drop like I have now?.....
Just trying to get more research done before buying it. Spacers for my front wheel are also a factor, would anyone know the spacer size I need????
But While deciding what route i was going to go buying new and converting to a springer or finding a used bones.
I talked to 5 different dealerships along with 2 highly recomended indy shops.... they all said go paughco.
