Default Complete roller frame

I'm looking for a complete 89 FLHTC roller frame. My bike caught fire and I was gonna rebuild it but upon further inspection I think I'm gonna be better off just to put my engine and tranny on another frame. any direction as to where I can find one that's not made of gold would be greatly appreciated thanx.

How did it catch fire? Were you running accent lighting/ground effects?

I have enough stuff to mostly build a early TC softail. Missing a frame, wheels, and some small stuff. I looked around for a roller or a bike with a bricked engine or something for a while but mostly gave up. I found a couple of flood bikes that were basically junk as far as engine and tranny but the rest would be useable. Everything like that had a salvage due to insurance totaling them. Seems everything I came across didn't have a title or the money made it not worthwhile.

In other words you need a bike minus the engine and trans?
Makes some sense.

Terminology gets me in trouble a good bit LOL
Can't remember seeing what we call (least around here) a rolling frame with anything more than wheels and frame.

Good Luck WP
