Wondering if I can pick some of you guyz brains. Im gonna do my first build, but I'm having a rough time finding a company that I can feel good about in regards to a frame. I looked at redbarron, and some others but I hear different stuff about all of them. Does anyone have any advice on what companys build a good but affordable frame for Sporty Buell drive line? Thanks for the help

If you are going with a Sportster or Buell, I've heard good things about Redneck Engineering.

I just completed a bagger with the frame coming from Rolling Thunder. RT was VERY helpful when I ran into glitches. Nothing major! I'd highly recommend them. Just DO YOUR HOMEWORK!

Gunnert is a very fortunate guy..

I had to remove and re-position and re-weld all but one of the 6 gas tank mounts on the two
R-T frames I bought.. 2 on one and all 3 on the other..
And, that's after I had to send them both back to be re-done the way I ordered them..

Needless to say I won't be purchasing R-T frames again..
