I put 25k on my hardtail shovel before I sold it. I'll stick with softails now.

Have to ask....WHY????

 

Same question I had.

BUT, if I was building a hardtail, I'd start by buying a new frame - they're around $1K all over the place and you could probably make more by selling the softail frame if you didn't want it anymore. At that point, you'd have spare change to get a frame modified a little for the Twin Cam if you don't find one built to fit it and you'd have a nice smooth hardtail frame without some weld-on rigged up parts.

 

There was the one done by Fab Kevin that I have been looking for. Apparently lowered the weight of the frame quite a bit.

 

Thanks for the pics Crash. Big H that was an Evo that Fab Kevin did. Shaved like sixty pound off the frame.

To you guys that ask why I say why not? I'm pretty young, and want to do something diffrent. As far as a diffrent frame at over 1000 bucks, I will be into hardtailing it for about 150 bones. It's apperant you've never ridden a slammed softail, they ride and corner like ****.

 

Man, you are way more badass than I am. LOL.....I am sure it will be an intersting project, keep us posted. I know I would hate to ride it for any particular length, but hats off to you. Are you going to at least run a sprung seat?

 

lundee try Bill here.http://www.kansaskustom.com/ He will make anything I'm told.I know his Sportster **** is nice.Very reasonable also.Try Led Sleds also.Pat has built severeal bt's just not sure if they are b motors or not. KK is not to far from brokeback mt. G.

 

Hope you got better roads than here.

That guy does some sweet work G. Brokeback mountain. Wonder if Chuck and Mark know him. I'd kill for half those tools. It's on just ordered 20' of 1 1/4" dom. Gotta get the shovel put back together first. Can't live without a bike to ride.
