Have a 97 XL 883 Sportster that mounts a DNA springer front end. I live in the Dominican Republic where the roads are, well... quite bumpy to say the least!

Riding the springer bike is a total pleasure but there are times when I am really afraid of being kicked-off the bike! My question is, does it exist a shock that can be mounted on the DNA springer? Something out there that helps to better absorb all those impacts? I guess it doesn´t but I might be wrong..

I dont know the answer to your question but I would love to see some pics of your bike with that front end.

+1 on the pictures!

I've seen several springers with a hydraulic shock designed in, but no "add-on" shocks for the DNA. It wouldn't be too difficult to fabricate though. The hard part would be to design it so that it didn't spoil the clean look of the DNA at the triple clamp, but it would be a fun task to take on. (Maybe a lever-action shock that mounted under the fork stem or a rocker linkage that attached to a tube shock that mounted in front of the frame's downtubes....)

A adjustable friction dampner might work fairly well too, and it could probably be designed into the rockers so that the clean lines of the springer are maintained.
