Here's a post over on Club Chopper that has a number of suppliers listed... http://www.clubchopper.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=28996
Thre are not many that offer frames yet for 04+ and those that do get a pretty steep price for them. Carolina Customs http://www.carolinacustomproducts.co...unt-popup.htmlis the only mfr. I know of so far that actually utilizes the rubber mount in their design, many of the others just rigid mount the engine using the rubbermount brackets.

Good luck,
