Hi all,
I'm building a neo-retro 30s-40s style street bike out of a 77 XS650. I recently found a good deal on a DNA 2 over springer but I don't want to end up with 'just another chopper'. I'm not going for the OC type chop, more like a 1939 Zundapp/Henderson/BMW/HD/Indian look. With the slight stretch and lowering of the TCBros combined with the 2 over DNA throw my geometry too far into chopperland?

On a side-note:
A little while ago I found a website that had a drag & drop frame geometry Flash thing on it that you could drag your front end and rear axle around to get an idea what different layouts would look like. Anyone know where that was? I foolishly didn't bookmark it.

Cheers,
- JJ

I'm not sure about how the springer will work but here is a link to a rake/ streach guide. www.classic-steel.com/...index.html
