Default Springer front end on night train

thinking about putting a springer front end on my night train, but not completely set on the idea. Any opinions out there from fellow night train owners??

If you could get a hold of a bad boy or crossbones front end then go for it. If it it's a chrome front end then you may need to add chrome strut covers to balance it out. I have NEVER seen a bad-boy springer for sale however.

I've entertained the idea as well for my train, there's some cool looking full blacked out 2" under springer front ends out there for a good price

here is the url to a guy that did a DNA -2" springer on his night train looks bitchin with the Paul Yaffee monkey bars. Only downfall is that the DNA springers are none to be cheap quality hence the cheap price of around 500.00.

I want to add that it is a FACT that all DNA stuff besides their wheels are from China. How do I know? I spoke with them last week. Lady verified they come from China and they resell. I wouldn't say that their stuff is junk though. Im waiting for my invoice for the brakester right now so I obviously trust them enough. I wanted their forward controls but they cannot order one set as they need multiple orders to "place" an order. I was told I can place my order, but the order would not be fulfilled until others made the same request and a large order could be processed, so I passed on forward controls and ordered(well told them I wanted a brakester) and went this route. 2 weeks out, better than an indefinite date for controls.

GL either way you go.

BT a H=D FX springer or a Paucho works fine.
