WTB Early XLCH frame
Posted: Sat Jan 09, 2021 8:31 pm
I'm looking for a complete and unmolested early short XLCH frame for a 61 XLCH I'm putting back together. Anybody have one they'd be willing to selll?
The frame that I have now looks to be a K Model frame as best I can tell. It has a '52k neck casting (unwelded), non-reinforced front downtubes, and hollow foot peg mounts of a K frame. The top motor mount, however, is a "small hole" early Sportster type. Motor mount must have been replaced at some point. I got the bike from a gentleman who didn't know its history. I haven't yet stripped the powdercoat from the frame to look for date codes or numbers.
