I'm with Panic.. that oe tube frame is a nice piece the way it is imo (Paul Batts went 159mph with it and the stock '98 S1W motor - and I mean bone STOCK other then an ignition change). If you aren't going to use it and don't want much for it, I'd be interested in buying it from you.

Todd,

         I have a frame like that if Joe does not want to sell you his. I do not have the swingarm and I cut the tail off of it, but other than that it was a functional frame prior to me taking the motor out. I also have a clean title as well to go with.

I will know a lot more after I get motor mounts and set the engine in the frame ... the offset concerns me ... not a deal breaker but a lot of work ... I have a nice stock evo sportster frame as well as the S1W to work with if I decide to go another way. Scott has offered to help extend and rake the sportster frame similar to his Paughco ...

Yeah, Seldom Seen indeed, especially on threads having to do with American V-Twins.  I know where I'm not knowledgeable...and stay the heck away most of the time.

joe did some measureing  the actual center of the motor is ----1/2 inch toward the cam side of the motor from where the cases bolt together--both of the bikes i have here are set up like that --with the motor like that you can run up to a 150 rear tire with a chain --if you havent pulled your motor yet find the center line before you do --simple things like pipes can change the balance of your bike---dont over think it though its not rocket science its just land speed racing ---and dont let all of the nay sayers scare you ---do what you want to do ---if they had there way we would all be riding those cookie cutter bikes  --- if you need anything let me know-----willie buchta
