It will also accept 1982-1985 Ironhead Sportster engines, though the rear motor mount on these years needs unbolted and replaced with the earlier rear motor mount , Harley OEM # 16203-67, so it will directly bolt in place. All 1 inch tubing, completely TIG welded and made in Cleveland, Ohio, USA.
Unlike other custom frames, the Gasbox Ironhead frame uses stock motor mounts all around, with the engine cradled low in the frame rails just like a stock bike. This looks much cleaner and keeps the finished chopper looking lean and handling better with a lower center of gravity. This frame also accepts the stock early style kickstand. The neck has a 32 degree rake and is +3" higher than the stock location This stem size is very common and is found on narrow glide front ends on Sportsters 1982 and later, and on Harley Big Twin front ends, including narrow glide, wide glide, OEM and most aftermarket springer front ends.

This means that with a front end and wheels on the bike the lower frame rails sit 2 inches closer to the ground than stock for that perfect stance. The axle plates are set up for a standard 3/4 inch rear axle and accepts a stock disc brake Sportster rear axle. the Horseshoe Oil Tank SKU 010404 already mounted to the frame.
