This weld-on hardtail rear frame section fits stock front frame sections on Sportsters from 1952-1981 (stock front frame section not included). The beauty of this weld-on hardtail is that the end result is a super-clean rigid frame. It gets rid of stock seat post area, and the tweaks to stretch and drop give that perfect profile and stance that will make your chopper look like a million bucks. This frame is approximately 4" stretch over stock wheelbase and 2" drop (2 inches lower than stock).
This frame requires the use of a 3/4" axle (custom style, or the stock axle used from 1977-99 will work), disc brake rear wheel and rigid model brake caliper bracket. This frame is for disc brake use only, there are no provisions to accommodate a drum brake rear wheel. This frame is designed to use our Universal Rear Chain Adjusters for 3/4" axles which are included.
Hand-made from 1" x .125" wall crew tubing with 5/16" thick axle plates and designed to weld to your frame with ease. Just what you need for that Ironhead bobber, chopper or race bike build. This hardtail frame is completely dialed in, you will not find a more complete or well-designed Harley Ironhead Sportster hardtail anywhere.
Additional, there are two great oil tank options that are ready to go for this hardtail frame. Choose your style, our Horseshoe Oil Tank as well as the Dished Clamp-On Oil Tank fit perfectly. The Gasbox Battery Box Adapter Plate allows easy mounting of all Gasbox universal battery boxes to all Gasbox Full Frames and also features an integrated lower fender support.
Proudly made in Cleveland, Ohio, USA. These hardtail Harley frames are in stock and ship immediately.
Notes: Requires a longer chain due to the stretch.
