Earlier this year i got a knuclehead hd engine for dirt cheap and just finished rebuilding it in my free time and it run like a charm

Now i need to find a frame and i want to do a bobber style bike but i dont know which would be the easiest to build around

Seriously i dont know shit about bikes lol, any help would be greatly appreciated

You can rebuild a HD engine, but don’t know shit about bikes?

I’ve never built a bike if that was the question yeah but i’ve restored a ton of engine of all kind in my life

Cheap route would be to chop up a sportster I would imagine.

small engines are easy.

putting a motor together/overhauling one is much different than fabricating a frame and then adding parts. the adding parts part is pretty easy, fabrication.... not so much


sorry im no help, i also dont know anything, but i half assume there are some companies out there that sell bare frames and you can go from there/modify it if you like

Thanks for helpful answer koja

Late response but 76-81 Yamaha 650 frames are super common and support 450's, 600's and 1100's. Just make sure you get the ownership with the frame or you be fucked trying to get it on the road.

Quality post thanks will make sure to get the papers with the frame

Where are you located? My cousins down by the Ohio/Kentucky border buy bikes and strip them and sell the parts. Strictly HD stuff too. PM me if you want more info.

Im in canada sadly
