Arrow Changing my Chopper frontend Back to Normal... Or Close

I know I might be on the wrong fourms but I figured I had to start somewhere. I am about to buy a 1976 CB650 chopper and I am not a huge fan of the chopper front end.(so you know the price is right)

I was wondering how hard would it be to shorten the front end up.

Would it be as easy as buying a new DNA Springer and bolting it on?

Am I going to have to cut the neck and reweld a new one?

I'm unsure about how this will work.

Any Information Is A Plus Thanks.

Without knowing exactly what is on the bike here are my two cents. There are two ways to rake a front end cut the frame or buy a raked triple tree. If your triple tree is raked or offset then all you have to do is replace it. if your frame was cut and rewelded (which is the right way to rake the front end then you have a large project and a bit costly to get back to original if you are not a welder. good luck
