For 1986-2003 Harley-Davidson Sportster engines
Includes MSO (Manufacturer's Statement of Origin)
32 degree rake neck 3" up from stock location
Uses stock rear axle and rear wheel
Highest quality available with perfect fit and finish
Made in Cleveland, Ohio, USA.

The Gasbox full frames are the highest quality and best engineered available. This frame allows direct bolt-in fitment for 1986-2003 Harley Evolution Sportster engines. All 1 inch tubing, completely TIG welded and made in Cleveland, Ohio, USA.

Unlike other custom frames, the Gasbox full rigid 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. The frame will require use of early style front motor plates (Gasbox Motor Mount Plates SKU 005585 or Harley OEM 16210-52 or A-22041), and also requires an early style kickstand.

The neck has a 32 degree rake and is 3" higher than the stock location. (NOTE: Due to the 3" up neck, you will need to run 4-6" over front forks). The neck is set up for a 1" stem, and utilizes 1" stem Timken style neck cups. 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.

The rigid rear hardtail section has approximately 4 inches of stretch and is set up to have 2 inches of drop. 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. This frame also features integrated upper mounts for Horseshoe Oil Tank SKU 010404. The Gasbox Battery Box Adapter Plate allows easy mounting of all Gasbox universal battery boxes to all Gasbox Full Frames and also features an integrated lower fender support. The gas tank mounts on this frame are designed for direct bolt on of the Ironhead Sportster Replica Stock Style Gas Tank SKU 007587.

This frame is designed to use Lowbrow Customs Rear Chain Adjusters for 3/4 inch Axles. This frame is designed for use with disc brake rear wheels, and requires the use of a custom rear brake caliper and caliper bracket. Stock Sportster disc brake rear wheel and axle are a perfect fit. Aftermarket wheels can also work though you will have to pay attention to proper spacing to ensure your chain lines up. Some options are Cycle Standard 16 x 3.00 inch rear wheels, such as the Black SKU 010383 or Chrome SKU 010382.

Once you receive the frame you will follow the included instructions and contact the Gasbox and the MSO (Manufacturer's Statement of Origin) will be mailed directly to you. This will have the frame's individual serial number (stamped into the the neck of the frame) as well as the purchaser's information. This is needed in most places when titling a custom motorcycle.

Note: There are no returns on carburetors, electrical items, full frames, hardtails or made-to-order items (such as magnetos) unless there is a manufacturer’s defect.

So the frame got hung up/lost in shipping. Bummer, but Dan and Chatlotte at Lowbrow went out of their way to ensure it got to me. I'm sure they were tired of hearing from me, but that didn't stop them from doing what it takes to deliver an outstanding customer experience. That alone is worth the purchase. The frame from Gasbox is top notch. They did a fantastic job thinking through everything you need to build a solid bike. Every weld is perfect. This is the frame you need for your build, hands down. The partnership and support from gasbox and lowbrow is unprecedented in custom bike building and takes the headache out of it while leaving you room to make it your own. Its worth every penny and then some! Buy it now!

Hey guys I bought a frame a while back, and have slowly been building, I was trying to run my belt drive, but I couldn’t get it to fit. I started thinking maybe I need to run chain drive in order to make it fit? Is this the case?

Yes that is correct we have some belt to chain kits on the website for that

For this chassis with a narrow springer front end with a 21" front wheel, 19" rear, what length front springer do ya need ? Does it need to be 4" over with the 4" stretch or just 2" over cause it's 2 down? Thank you much?

If you are building a custom bike and using a hardtail frame , bolt on or weld on hardtail what you can do for those is to put the back wheel with the tire installed onto the frame , block under the bottom of the frame to desired ride height and then measure from the neck to where the center of your front wheel will be to get an idea of what length to use . It is best to have the front wheel and tire you are going to use and then with a broom handle inserted into the neck line it up with the wheel and measure what you have . Keep in mind when measuring that the additional weight of the engine and other components may compress the forks so it is better to go up a size then down for the length if you are in between sizes.

Sorry none of the frames we have are for wide tire applications and we do not do any in house manufacturing or one off projects
