Default Help to identify frame




So me and a buddy bought this frame that looks like a custom built Softail frame at Barbers Vintage Fest this year. The problem is we have no clue who built it or what the plan was for the build, so does anyone have a clue of where this frame could have come from? We have no vin# or paperwork with the frame and our plan is to build a lay frame bike with 26 front and 18 inch 300 rear tire with gsxr front forks on air ride front and rear. I just figured I would ask first cause I would hate to cut on a frame and then find out it was built by someone that was famous or something.

Yeah I've looked everywhere I could think and can not find one with the seat as low or the battery box under the seat. Thanks for the help maybe someone will see the pictures and either bought one like it or know someone that has. I just know by looking at the frame it is not a one off it has been built before.

I am just going off of the motor mounts. It looks like Sportster engine mounts.

Most aftermarket frames like that were setup for rubber mount drivetrains for evo big twins. But it doesn't have the rear mount for that. It looks like the rear mount for a sporty

Well I appreciate all the help I’m getting just wish I knew exactly before we cut it up. What year motor do you think or are all of them the same.

Agreed - looks like a slightly different twist on a Low-Blow

Check with Red Neck Engineering. Might be a one off for a metric or Sportster with a custom front motor mount. Looks to be set up for softail forwards also.
