Aftermarket frame?

Does anyone know of a hardtail frame for new bonnevilles? i found one that is $3,000. that is a little much for just a frame. or does anyone know of a clever way to weld a rear section on from another bike?

Any help would be appreciated.

i tried to get a hold of those guys but their phone is disconnected. i searched the other thread on hardtail frames, and there was a lot of dead ends with those vendors.

i was hoping to find a golden website with a $1000 hard tail frame....

John,

I was talking with Toro the other day who said he ordered the frame from Vancouver. Looks sharp. Should make for a killer Bobber.

/Mike

[EDIT] Oh yeah, he said it accepts the stock NTB front end and rear wheel in lieu of HD parts (ala Choppahead)
