Well as it says i got another torque tube style sporty frame. It started life as a 97 883. I sent the motor out to zippers for a 103 upgrade. I am having a few custom touches put to the trans housing to accommodate an extra gear for a 6th gear. The frame is almost done. Its a 6 up 3 out torque tube style frame that many know and love. I made the width and fender mount setup similar to the expensive EL style frame the company also used to put out. The nondriveside rear grabs 1/4" from the fender side. On the drive side the axle block is 1/4" from the chain rivets. Everthing is nice and compact. enough about the project here are some pics
This is just a rake and stretch and hardtail job on the stock frame, however i am going to combine the lower rail idea from that expensive EL style frame to the next frame. This also has a single downtube.

looks like a good time to me! out in the garage cutting, grinding, welding... that's the good stuff, there.
103" sporty with a 6 speed sounds like a blast, too.
please keep us updated.
