The Reno Frame is Gasbox's take on the traditional "Motor Shop" single-loop rigid frame, completely TIG welded and made in Cleveland, Ohio, USA. This frame allows direct bolt-in fitment for 1936-1999 Harley Big Twin engines. Depending on which frame you choose, either a Standard 4 Speed or a 5 Speed Softail Transmission can be used. The 5-Speed Reno frames also accept an aftermarket 1990-1999 Softail 6-speed Transmission. It is also designed to work with 1985-99 Softail fitment primaries (stock or belt drive) as well as 1965-85 swingarm style complete primary drives with electric start.
The axle plates are set up to fit 1979-1999 Harley Davidson Sportster or Big Twin disc brake rear wheels with 3/4" rear axle. These frames are designed for use with disc brake rear wheels, and require the use of a custom rear brake caliper and caliper bracket. The steering neck is set at 30° and is 2" higher than the stock location.
The gas tank mounts on this frame are designed for direct bolt on for a variety of Frisco style gas tanks, no welding required! The following custom gas tanks are a direct bolt on for this frame:
Once you receive the frame you will follow the included instructions and contact the Gasbox and the MSO (Manufacturer's Statement of Origin) will be mailed directly to you. This will have the frame's individual serial number (stamped into the the neck of the frame) as well as the purchaser's information. This is needed in most places when titling a custom motorcycle.
Notes:
- Gasbox Big Twin full frames are designed for 1936-1999 Harley-Davidson Big Twin Motors with a standard 4 speed or 5 Speed Softail Transmission, but WILL NOT work with any rubber mount transmissions where the swingarm pivot attaches to the rear of the transmission ex. FXR, FXD (Dyna), FLT (Touring).
- Obtaining a title for a custom vehicle varies from state to state and you should check with your local laws before purchasing. Lowbrow Customs and The Gasbox are not responsible for your ability to obtain a title in your jurisdiction.
- When installing any vintage engine in the frame you must check to see if it needs to be shimmed. Start by tightening the rear bolts first and check the front for a gap between the frame and mounting boss on the engine. If there is, you can use small block Chevy starter motor shims. They come in variable thicknesses and can be trimmed to length. Failure to properly shim can cause the front ears on your engine case to break.
- There are no returns on carburetors, electrical items, full frames, hardtails or made-to-order items (such as magnetos) unless there is a manufacturer’s defect.
