About this product
2004-up Rubbermount XL/Sportster Weld-on Rigid Frame Hardtail. Convert your Sporty to a rigid Chopper/Bobber practically overnight!!! Brought to you by Bitter End - Old School Choppers - One-Stop Shopping for Hardcore Chopper Builders.
- Fits stock XL (Sportster) frames for 2004-up (Rubber-mounts) and will handle up to a 150mm rear tire with chain. You can use your stock width wheel and tire if you desire. You will just need a longer axle than stock, axle adjuster collar kit, and additional axle spacers (Available directly from us). However, we can also build in-house to your specs - any stretch, width, etc. - just call or eMail us to discuss.
PLEASE NOTE: This item has 3/4" axle slots. If you are planning on using a 1" or 25mm bearing rear wheel, you will need to buy the adapter bushings for this purpose found in our eBay store.
- This is for Disc brake bikes and includes bracket so that you can use your OEM rear brake if you choose.
- The new measurement from center of swingarm pivot shaft to axle center when axle if all the way forward will be approximately 22.5"
- Does not require a frame jig to mount as long as necessary steps to check sqareness and level are taken prior to welding. This is all explained in our YouTube video which explains step-by-step how to install this hardtail. Please visit our YouTube channel: BEOSChops.
PLEASE NOTE: This listing is for the hardtail section ONLY. Other parts such as wheel, tire, axle, etc. - ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THIS ITEM AT THIS PRICE - THIS ITEM IS FOR this HARDTAIL ONLY.

:
!PLEASE consider the following BEFORE purchasing and/or installing a hardtail on a 2004-up XL/Sportster:
- We do not currently offer a bolt-on kit to make up for the
engine stability lost from the removal of the swingarm,
whose pivot also serves as the rear motor mount. Customer
must plan on fabricating a solution for this, or, buy solid motor mount conversions from a company like Hardtail Choppers
- The rear master cylinder located behind and below the
rear of the motor MUST be removed and relocated due to the
use of this area of the frame as the attachment point for the
hardtail. Most common solution for this is to go back to the
older style (pre-2004) forward controls that mount the
master cylinder on the pulley cover plate. However, this is
NOT a straight bolt-up solution.
- The hardtails that we sell have a rear brake caliper
bracket that works best with 2000 - 2006 calipers/caliper
brackets. So, you may want to budget for this if your bike is
2007-up.
- Springer installation will require removal of the whole
fork neck lock system from the frame for clearance and
turn radius. This involves cutting the frame and
fabrication and weld work to fill the resulting hole.
