    Looking at doin the 2inch over on the front of my breakout and for around about the same price as tubes springs etc for the wide glide tubes into my breakout sliders I can get a dna inverted front end for a wide glide which has the same length I'm chasing and should give me what I need just wondering what ppl think of the inverted front ends if it was worth it or wasn't and if anyone has had a dna front end the quality

    Mate put the same DNA Inverted 2inch over 5% rake on his Rocker , He Hated it! said it wasn`t rebounding sometimes on a rolling test in the drive way after braking the forks would stay compressed after a few months he changed for some other make can`t remember brand, A very expensive exercise, not sayin all are alike ,just his experience

    Yeah I realize that would be a possible cause we did play around with spacing , checked for fork twist, aligning the wheels ,everything we could think off all but pulling the forks down, by that time he was so pissed he replaced them

    Hi all...You have to be carefull with the tensioning up of the triples of upside down forks.To tight and you get stiction[forks bind].

    after doing some asking around come across a few ppl that have had dna front ends in the past and have said there not bad for the money you spend but the thing that let them down the most was the finish started to deteriorate badly not even a tear after new

    After final pricing tho I think I may steer away from the upside downs and just extend the tubes I can get onto a front end out of a rocker which is longer the only thing is myn measures 770mm from the top clamp to the centre of the axle in the bike and the rocker legs measure 825mm out of the bike which is 55mm difference I'm after 50mm which is all good but just don't know how much it would sag if it were in the bike anyone know the tube measurements of rockers
