DNA's dont have a real good reputation but some have had no problems with them. Ride Wrights are supposed to be one of the best. You might contact Dr. V-Twin (a member here), he can probably hook you up.

I was wondering why you decided to get the 3.5, instead of the 3" ? The wider the wheel, the more of an angle the spokes bulge out in the center, and not as straight.. I dont think a 1/2" will make much of a difference, but its a little sleeker and custom, w/o a real skinny front tire on a touring bike. Just curious as I am about to get a 21, instead of a 23. Too wobbly and unsafe, and will become a bar hopper with 23.. Anyways, let me know if you found any dealers, where you can see and buy w/o ordering, and waiting 2 weeks.. Thanks

We used to be a DNA dealer, but due to nothing but quality problems and not to mention the worst customer service we have experienced in our lives, we stopped carrying them. It's a shame too, because DNA could be a real contender in the industry, but they don't seem to care.

We carry and recommend Ride Wright wheels now.

Let us know if we can help!

Thanks!

Wish I had read the reviews first before buying, I probably would have went in a different direction.

If so, you don't need DNA specific parts. You can most likely use stock HD 1" wheel bearings, just make sure the OD and the width are the same as your existing 3/4 bearings. The inner spacer can be made very easily by just about any machine shop. Give them the length and wall thickness of the existing 3/4 piece and you should be set. You might have to make a couple of "collars" for the inner spacer. If your existing spacer has them just to the math and make sure they are needed.
