Description
Replica rear hardtail frame section is duplicated from an original rigid frame of 1957. Left axle plates are forged steel as OE. Weld-on type. The axle slots are 7/8" on both sides. Full replica construction of the rear frame section includes forged rear axle plates, oil tank mount, lower rear fender mount, center tube, engine and transmission mount, transmission mount strap, weldment, tool box mount, and top seat post forging. Seat post yoke included in weldment allows post to be retained with use of rigid seat post bushing. Rear section frame will accept stock width 500x16 tire and mechanical juice brakes. Juice brakes will require the welding of an additional tab on the left axle plate. Plates will accept a replica rear stand and a stock rear fender for added detail. Side car loops available separately for an even more original look! Tail will accept seat post, mechanical brake cross shaft and brake drum assembly. Tail is intended to be installed by a professional welder. Top tank tube is not included. For 4-speed only. Forgings gives the hardtail a true rigid look! V-Twin has been building hardtails since 1971 and complete Replica frames since 1995.
