How to: Install A Harley-Davidson Sportster Hardtail Frame 1982 - 2003

CHANGE / UPDATE 04:05 - The proper measurement for the backbone is 1 - 1.5” back from the back edge of the top motor mount bracket. Using a small ruler held parallel to the backbone, scribe a mark at 1”. Note: We initially specified this measurement at 9/16" but it should be cut a bit longer and adjusted it to ensure that the frame isn't cut too short. You may have to grind the top, stock backbone a bit to get the perfect fit. A slight gap is ideal as this allows the weld to penetrate the stock backbone, the hardtail backbone, and the slug that connects the two. https://www.lowbrowcustoms.com/produc...
