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. the Horseshoe Oil Tank SKU 010404 already mounted to the frame. 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.
