does anyone know of or can recommend a good fabricator in the area of northern indiana?i need to have a weld on hardtail put on,any help or suggestions are appreciated.81 sportster xlh

 

Don't know about Indiana, but it doesn't cost much to ship a frame. Kansas Kustom does alot of Ironhead hardtails. Give them a call. Oh yea, you can remove the swingarm, etc before shipping too save a little.

I did all the set up on mine and just took it to a local welding shop and they burned it in for 75 bucks

I've got an 81 ironhead and was told that with the longer frame a weld-on would make the bike look shorter so was thinking Paucho frame instead.

 

Not sure about weld on for a 81 I have a 78 and it made it longer and lower. It does give it a good look on a budget.

Have you tried Fabricator Kevin? He's been known to hardtail a few bikes.

i can prob. weld that up for u if u get it all ready im in the anderson,IN area have it ready and can prob. charge u cheep... I have herd on these forums that u cant do a weld on hard tail on the 81 cuz of its cafe style frame but do the research and i can weld it up no prob. mig or stick witch ever one

 

no sir, no one said weld on can not be done, we all agree that BOLT ON CAN NOT BE DONE, i know a shop that will make me one ( bolt on ) but it will look weird as hell because of the frame.

a weld on is available but i dont WANT TO CUT UP THE FRAME ON A BEAUTIFUL BIKE.

They told me that a bolt on hardtail would look very much like a stock bike without shocks.
