Okay, so it looks like I'm putting a DNA springer front end with DNA Spoked wheels and rotors. But I'm not sure how I'm supposed to mount the brake caliper? Will I need to buy an aftermarket DNA caliper for it to work correctly? I'm trying to get the look I want as cheap as possible, but it's turning out more expensive than I had origianlly planned. Anybody got springers? Whats setup did you use? Is there somewhere I can buy everything I need, or am I stuck buying a little here and there? Thanks

You should be able to get a kit that includes everything you need. They sell them in the after market catalogs, J&P, Dennis Kirk, most any of them.
It may be a bit cheaper to find the bits and pieces on ebay, search Harley front brakes.

I think that getting a bracket to fit the front axle and hold your stock caliper could be made. A flat piece of steel with a hole to fit the axle on one end, A pair of holes in the other to match the caliper bracket and a link to the rear springer arm might work. Some spacers to get the part to line up.
If you look at the pics in the catalogs you might see how it would work.
