This is the type of bike Im wanting to build. I think the tires used was 500x16. Do you know what that relates to?

 

5" wide 16" diameter. It doesn't really translate to a modern metric tire as they're very tall. Those are basically 130's but 2" taller. The pic of my bike earlier in this thread has 5.00x16's.

 

Another question for you. When I pick up the DNA Forks there 1" stem size and on my 69 Frame I believe its smaller. Do you know the best company that sells the complete conversion? Bearings / Race and all? Ill need to convert my stocks to get the DNA on right.

Thanks

 

V-Twin manufacturing sells a conversion neck bearing deal. It's alot easier to put a 1" neck front end on 7/8" neck bike. I just did a 7/8" neck front end on a 1" neck bike and it was a challenge.

Anyway, just google 7/8" neck bearing conversion. There are a few places that sell em. They're basically all the same.

But are you sure your not set up for 1" already?

 

as the title states R U happy with the DNA springer? I ask because in other threads others are unhappy with DNA springers. I want a springer but I'd rather pay to get a good one rather than an average one. Do you have any knowledge or experience with Paugacho springers? You sure seem to have a lot of knowledge wish I lived near your shop
