Shovelhead/Panhead Weld-On Hardtail with Cast Axle Plates

We're heads-down getting ready for Born Free on June 27–28, so hardtail production will be running at a slower pace throughout June. We'll be back in full swing in early July and will prioritize fulfilling all outstanding orders as soon as possible.

Here is the hardtail you've been waiting for. It's the cleanest, coolest and most dialed way to hardtail your ’58–’84 Shovelhead & late Panhead swingarm frames - no weird stretches, no chopped-up geometry, no guessing games. Just a proper Panhead-style tail section that lines up smooth and keeps your VIN right where it belongs.

This setup runs replica style cast axle plates and a cast seat post yoke by HCI and are poured in a foundry here in the USA. I" top rails with lines that stay lean and 1 1/8" bottom rails to seamlessly line up with the your chassis. Everything is TIG welded in-house here in Northern California.

Need a 3/4" axle that fits perfectly? Grab our Axle Kit.

No frame jig? No stress. You don’t technically need one, but they're always a plus. This kit is designed to go in easy and lock up tight—so you can get back to building ASAP.

Installation

You’ll need to cut out the stock seat post area and graft in the new section. Our top tube is pre-bent, slugged, and ready to slide in just ahead of the original seat post casting. The rails taper like a Panhead for that narrow, vintage silhouette. Everything’s sized and shaped to match stock tubing—no weird fitment or steps.

Check out our cutting diagram and our YOUTUBE install video to get a clear look at where and how to trim your frame. This one’s all about keeping it classic and making your life easier.
