Coming from a Japanese sportbike/flat track background (also Spanish Ossa and Bultaco) considering building a 45 bobber using a purchased rolling chassis. Have little to no knowledge about Harley stuff except the XR750, My first mission is to find out what engines will fit in a 45 rolling chassis other than a flathead (if any) without extensive chassis mods. Looking forward to learning a lot here. If you have an answer to my first question, thanks in advance.

Welcome Pat.
​​​​
Hope you enjoy your ride here.


Only as a suggestion, create a signature
line for your
bike, year, model, and all the
code letters if any apply in the end.

You can add that bike photo to the signature too.

Welcome from Spartan Country, Michigan!
I tell a lot of new comers to the forum to get: Factory Service manual and the Parts manual. Take to an office supply store and have them put a spiral binder in place of the glued binder. That will let the manuals lay flat on your bench. Get a three ring binder and record all your maintenance, repairs, accessories, etc. This will be a great reminder of what was done when. And great material to pass along to the new owner should you sell and upgrade. Also know how large your fuel tank is, a rough idea of your range per tank, and record your fuel usage. I have an app called Simply Auto that I record all my fuel used. I use the odometer and use the fuel gage as reference only. I reset the odometer to zero on fill ups, and I know I can safely get 200 miles on a tank on around town riding, and upwards of 230+ on trips.
