Big Twin Evo Weld-On Hardtail with Cast Axle Plates

Big Twin Evo Weld-On Hardtail with Cast Axle Plates

We’re welding these daily, but depending on demand, may take 2-3 weeks to ship. Get your order in early and lock in your spot.

The easiest, cleanest way to hardtail your Big Twin Evo build and make it look right. No weird geometry. No stretch. No sketchy mods. Just a straight-up Panhead-style tail section for your ’85–’99 factory Softail frame. Not only will this kit make your frame rule it'll save your VIN, because paperwork shouldn’t kill your dream bike.

Fits like it belongs—because thats the way we like to do it 

Built around the classic Big Twin HD cast axle plates and replica cast seat post yoke. We use DOM tubing, 1" top rails to keep those early HD lines and 1 1/8" bottom reals to seamlessly match up to the frame. Once its stabbed on and sanded out people will be mistaking your Softail frame for a Panhead frame. They didn't have belt drives and fat tires back in the day so you will need to convert to a chain and you wont be able to fit anything bigger then a 180 tire. 

No frame jig? No problem. You won’t need one (though its always better). We designed this to go in smooth and painless. Check out Installation and Fitment below.

WHY IT RULES

  • No added stretch or weird tail height—just classic geometry
  • Panhead-style cast axle plates & yoke made in the PNW
  • TIG welded and assembled in NorCal
  • Slugged top tube for a clean graft & slim silhouette
  • Chain clearance built-in with a bottom tube kick-out
  • 1-1/8" DOM bottom rails fit right into your stock frame
  • Preserves VIN = less DMV headaches

WHAT'S iN THE BOX

  • Fully pre-fabbed hardtail
  • Bottom rail slugs (x2)
  • 1/2" bolts w/ lock washers (x2)

Installation

You’ll need to cut out the stock seat post and plate it clean. Our hardtail top tube is slugged to mate with your stock top tube just in front of the seat post casting. Rails taper in just like old Harley frames, giving you that OG slim pan look.

We’ve got a downloadable install guide and a YouTube video that walks you through it all. Tools, steps, the whole deal.
