hardtail frame?
#31
thanx for the pics so far. most of what I can see is that frame sits fairly level but I guess since I am running a two over front end and a 21 tire that would have alot to do with it. I know that the stock was a 19. I just hope that the angle will not affect the oiling, since that was brought up. I guess Ill just have to take my chances.

Nice 1980 XLS. I have that same tank. Got it on eBay a couple of years ago. That color was available i think only in that one year. It is the best looking larger Sportster tank. Are those the original 2" over Roadster Forks?
Hey, sweet lookin' young lady there too.

The reason being the 21 is most likely a 3.00 X 21 and the 19 is surely a 3.25 X 19. These tires have the same OD (approx).
The 'wall section' on a 21 is not as great as that of a 19.

Hey Droff. Here are some pics of mine with struts...then with the bolt on hardtail. I also have a wideglide front end. I am not sure what it is off of though.
struts:
when I bought it: Notice the forks...way to long. The bike sat extremely uneven. And as pinion mentioned before my front jug had extreme scoring when I took it apart.
