Title: Frame/tank options
Post by zipidachimp on 02/03/18 at 14:15:28

Found this:

$2000 for a frame with a street bike rake angle and the ability to mount a nicer tank
Tempting ? 8-)
or: I could also buy a rolling chassis from craigslist.

Well you can't do much better than getting a Cheney frame......they have been making racing frames for a very long time.

However.....your $2,000 frame is only the beginning as you will need a $950 shock, $500 triple trees.......and some form of fancy fork. Then you have to figure out what you are going to do for wheels, brakes, fuel tank, seat, controls, electric system........before long your build thread will look very similar to the Beer Budget Board Tracker thread!

Go for it! ;)

Nice frames. Great starting point for an off-road project. Problem for street use - lack on a legal VIN.

Framecrafters want $4500 and 8 months, they must be busy! 8-)
How does anyone fix the VIN problem if they want an upgraded frame?

There may be a "homebuilt" title that could be used. I got one for a trailer I made, and guys who build kit cars get them titled somehow.

I think that process varies by state and it's not available in all states. Check on the process before investing time and money.
