Well, RyBeatty, you are not the only one. I bought a DNA kit from Rebecca at TrikeLife on eBay to convert my '04 Sportster. I'm mostly done now, have taken a few short test rides and am currently working (solo) on swapping out/installing raked 4 degree Frakenstein triple trees.
The forum owner and resident guru, Bazooka, has stated (IIRC) that many have utilized the DNA rear ends to good effect and that lots of folks have accumulated many miles on them.
I am not one who sniffs at Asian made products. These days, their metallurgy and manufacturing standards are very competitive and comparable to most anything available in the US, other than bespoke shops. And that is out of the price range of most, but especially those like you and I (on a tight budget).
Good luck, hang in there, and feel free to e-mail or IM me any time, brother.
