Hello all...Just picked up a new to me HD (sorta) that I'm need some help identifying....

I've owned a number of bikes over the years: Triumphs, BMW's, Honda...this if my first HD.

here's what I know:

Titled as: 2002 ASM (I assume means assembled i.e. custom)
Motor: Bottom is is S&S Super Stock
Top end appears to be Evo
Frame: Is an Ultra Cyles frame. It's a softail, but not sure of what model.
Tins, Front fork, Wheels appear to be FatBoy.

Story I got from the owner, who appears legit, is that he had a HD dealer/buddy build the bike in 2002 over a 6 month period. The previous owner was very sketchy/unsure of a lot of the specific details/questions I asked. He had more money than knowledge....lots of cool toys at his place. Bike hasn't been registered since 2009. Since 2002, he's ridden the bike just over 2000 miles....which is what it has on the odometer. Original title signed over to me indicates 9 miles, so the dealer rolled the odometer back.

So here's the rub: I want to accessorize the bike a bit. Right now, I'm mostly interested in 2 things:

1. New Seat
2. Getting adapters to move the controls forward 2-3".

I'm thinking that a lot of the specs/measurements on this Ultra Cycle frame are consistent with HD. Like foot controls, tank mount points, seat mount points. IS THERE A DEFINITIVE WAY TO DETERMINE WHAT YEAR(S) KIND OF FRAME I HAVE WITH REGARDS TO THIS?? I'm inclined to think 84-99, but not sure.

I picked up a batwing of CL...came off a later model softail. The holes not he bracket are about 1" farther apart then the bolts on my forks. Additionally, he had 4 seats we mocked up...NONE fit. Again, they were from a later model HD....early 2000's I believe.

Regards,
Jason

 

Hi and welcome to the forum. Not exactly a "Harley" seeings how neither the frame or engine is HD but looks mostly like a 01-06 Softail-ish. I imagine it'll be a nightmare getting parts for because you won't have much of a reference. I'd go with frame for frame accessories and the S&S engine model for engine accessories. As you've found out, most everything else will need to be custom fit.

 

That headlight is cool, looks like the 2000 era Indians.

 

its a cool looking bike, whatever it is

 

The engine is half harley...so that's something. Lol. You're right about it being a PIA for parts. I called ultra cycles today and talked to the owner. Sent him some pics and he knew exactly what it was. It's been pretty modified/rebuilt since it left his shop, but he hooked me up with some forward control adapter plates that'll help me out and a manual on CD. Have a friend with a 95 softail coming over tomorrow. Gonna play with his seat see if it fits.

Owner at ultra was a very nice guy. Spent nearly 30 mins on the phone with me asking particulars about the bike trying to help me figure it out. He was pretty happy to see some of his stuff still looking good too.

 

Agreed. It's huge, badass, and makes me happy.

 

Shouldn't be too hard to find what you're looking for but a bit of advice first. Make sure it runs, (looks like it does) and see what it will cost to register it first, I hope you have no problems. I like that Valiant in your garage also!

 

Oh yeah...I made doubly sure the paperwork is legit and confirmed insurance. Runs perfect. Pulls like a train.
Dude! Close on the valiant...it's a 440 powered dart I just spend the last 4 1/2 years of my life building.

 

It's 84-99. It's an evo style motor. If you want a different seat odds are the 84-99 style softail seats will fit

 

That's what I was looking for. Thanks Jason!
