This includes bulky fenders and gas tanks, and trimming down unnecessary electrical parts, such as signals, gauges, relays and switches. The first front end installed on the hardtail frame was a 6"-over-stock hydraulic unit that came off an early seventies Super Glide.Īn essential part of building any sort of chopper, bobber, or cafe racer, is getting rid of unnecessary items. I installed the front end to check the stance of the bike. The motor needs to be put on the frame to put weight on the front end, so you can get an accurate view of how the bike will sit.Īfter the oil tank mounts and fork-stop tabs were welded in place, I propped the frame up on a wooden box and did the first of several mock build-ups. The way to check overall stance is to trial-fit everything including the motor. One of the hardest and most overlooked parts of a any hardtail build is how the bike will sit when done.

Originally, all motorcycles were hardtails, and since there are no rear suspension components, a hardtail frame is much lighter and less complicated than a conventional swing-arm frame. The theme of my hardtail Sportster build was simple a no frills, bare bones, minimalist motorcycle. The company who made the frame was called C&J Cycles. The fork rake was just three degrees over stock, but the back of the bike was stretched eight inches-this gave my lanky six-foot frame plenty of room to stretch out.
