Default FXD springer?

I have an '02 FXD with sidecar and would like more rake for easier handling. I have always loved the look of the springer front ends! Of course a front fender is needed to stay dry and mud-free and front brakes are important with the extra weight of the hack but I live on a pension.

Is/are there economic alternatives for a springer?

Anybody have pictures of a springer on a Dyna?

To me Dyna's with springers sometimes look cool, and sometimes look weird. The one fskitch linked to looks really cool. Nicely proportioned.

Forum member bikerlaw had a thread a few years back about putting a springer on a Dyna.

I installed both a DNA Springer as well as a PAUGHCO on my Low Rider. The DNA's work, but are crap compared to the more expensive PAUGHCO. I would never trust a DNA with the added weight of a hack.
Reindeers link has more of my info.

Thanks for the warning about DNA forks!
