DYNA FRAME....No Way..
I have a "boat anchor" frame on my 2005 DWG. Has anyone ever attempted to find an aftermarket dyna frame? Paughco and Chopper guys both told me they might have one NEXT year??? I looked HIGH and LOW they just don't exist. I asked Paughco and Chopper "the 2000-2005 Dyna frame is now old. Why are you taking so long? Of course the tranny/swingarm answer emerged. I was told to change my tranny into a 2003-06 FL case and then buy a $3500 aftermarket frame. Of course I must change my inner/outer PCC covers and numerous other items. But who am I to doubt the knowledgeable ones. BS. A new OEM frame can be bought for just under $2000 so why bother? I would like to lighten up but........GMAB......
DOES anyone have any ideas as to a way to go?
All HD responses welcome,

RE: DYNA FRAME....No Way..
This query makes just about zero sense to me.
I know I am a bit slow. Special is the politically correct terminology.
Would you please rephrase, and/or condense??
And, please, no abbreviations.
much appreciated in advance.

RE: DYNA FRAME....No Way..
So sorry for the rambling. It has become very frustrating trying to find an aftermarket, reasonable priced frame that would take all my existing hardware. My bike was wrecked very badly. 2 frame straightening shops indicated that it was junk. So, 10 days ago I started looking. Since I would need a new one why not go a little lighter? Well I have not found an aftermarket onesss after putting out feelers and researching till endlessly. OEM is easy to get and I feel reasonable. So after all the searching I guess I'll just stick with the original.

I'll check the Ness but there again I don't particularly want to change that much hardware.

RE: DYNA FRAME....No Way..
You can get a custom frame made. do a google search...there is a shop in canada, that can build you a new frame. I considered them, but I would rather chop a stock frame myself....I like Harley frames. If your frame is junk, then havea custom frame bent up, and use the neck tube off of your old frame to keep the registration as a Harley. This is illegal, so make sure you get rid of the old frame, i.e. cut up into pieces and throw away. May not be smart, but that's what I'd do......I'd never register bike as a custom, insurance costs will rape you. Rules get stupid, so we chopper guys have to find ways around the rules.
