Smile Custom Frame




Does anyone know what company built an aftermarket frame for 2005 era softail. The frame has a single down tube with a diamond shape. Think if a square tube turned on an angle. It appears to be high quality and fits perfectly.
Thanks in advance for any info.

If you can find any makers stampings, it is mostly likely some custom fabrication. Probably to change the front rake.


Show us a photo of the whole bike.

Yup those tubes are at least 6" over stock, If I had a guess from a few things I see I'd say somebody took a stock frame cut it off at the center down tube and added the front section. Whether that was bought or somebody made it up is the question, nice work either way , looks clean.

Get a mirror up under the bike on the motor & trans area and look for anything might be a weld joint.

I am leaning toward custom frame because the bends that meet the down tube are perfect, welds are flawless also.
