Who all are offering hard tail frames to fit the engines in our bikes or the new Bonnies? I know a few but want to try and compile a list for a friend of mine.

Or if you you want to make sure a back jolter is your intended direction. http://www.biltwellinc.com/struts.php

Looking for full frames for the engines in our bikes and modern Bonnies. I already knew Choppahead and Lowbrow I think does the frames for the old twins. I know there are several manufacturers out there and was hoping a few I hadn't heard of.

Thank you that is the kind of stuff I am looking for, hope to find some more too. I don't know why I can't find the others I remember unless they stopped making frames.

Midget11 had Bitter End Choppers build him a bike.
I never much cared for that "Trump Card" bike. But this customer built bike using one of their frames looks pretty good, not as much drop at the seat. They sell frames for the T100 and ones for the America/Speedy? Wouldn't they be the same frame? It's only the swing arm that makes the difference right?

Remember that thread (Thompsons build 2)that was on here about a year ago. This is the guy who built his frame. I think he built'em one at a time in his garage to your spec. http://www.tanksbytigman.com/I wonder if he ever finished that?

Yeah, I didn't like the amount of rise in the backbone or the position of the bonnie tank on Midget11's bike. Overall it was cool but I would do it different. I like this one though.

Looking for something fairly affordable. So far best is about $700 US.

I wonder if he had to put the pipes up like that because of the clearances around the forward controls. They look cool there, but they look like a pain in the ******. Seems like if you wrapped the pipes/headers around the forward controls, it'd put that bend around the controls, really low to the ground.
