I have a 2013 street bob fxdb (103 six speed belt drive) the main frame has damage and i would like to get a new frame, the rest of the bike is in fairly good shape so naturally i would like to reuse as many of the original part as possible. BUT I have considered using a low rider frame. My question is if i was to go with the low rider frame, what years would be my best years choice and what parts would i have to plan on replacing?
Any thoughts / opinions ?

 

The Frame Part Numbers for FXDB and FXDL are the same 47745-06B - you will have to look through the parts catalog to find the other differences between the 2.

now that is interesting and unexpected information. Thank you

 

That frame is used from 2010-2017 on every Dyna except the FXDF & FXDWG, the only frame with a different rake is the WG @ 34*, all others are 29*.

 

 

 

so I already had a a 2013 street bob most everything is in good useable shape the frame however has a badly rusted area on it from a longtime battery leak that occured while it was it storage
Ive been shopping around found more low rider frames seem to be available didnt realize it was the same frame.

Question: some of the older frames look very similar none of them would work?

 

I thought about that, harley requires the chassis neck which is possible, although i was hoping to have both frames at the same time so i could just take parts off of one frame and put them back on the other frame rather than having a basket case.
plus harley new frames are substantially more expensive than a used frame and my bikes on a budget

 

Any chance to repair/refurb the rusty area from the battery acid?
Changing frames is going to be labor intensive.

 

If it is a budget build I would rather consider fixing the rust if possible. Its not like the frame is bent...
I thought dyna 06-17(except wide glide) had the same frame?
