| What's your question? |
Wondering about a motor.
|
| Details: |
Picked up this frame for 50 bucks and while searching for a motor found them to be damn near impossible to come by. Wondering if anyone would know where to get one cheap(don't need it running.) Or if another motor will fit without altering the frame. Specs say it is the 1000cc ironhead. |

- If the motor mounts aren't altered, most sporty motors will fit, I think... I rode 'em for years and my bones hate me now. By: capnbill on: 4-2-2009
- 1972 and up all 1000cc
1975 shifter moved to left side via linkage
1977 case changed to left side shift
1977 and up use the same case's
1984-85 generator replaced with alternator
My choice would be a 1977 and up, check fleabay and craigs list

- Several things to consider. Check frame closely for cracks and straightness. Check your states tittleing laws. On some ironheads tittles go by # on motor. Some HD go by frame #. Have tittle for frame or motor ? Need a builders tittle. Now the good news, a cheap ironhead motor, NO DAMN WAY. Unless your an experienced mechanic you would be advised get a rider ready to ride. Get factory repair and parts manual. A must thing to have. Old sportys are simple in design. You can get in over your head very easy. Google "the ironhead sportster garage" and join. Lurk for awhile before asking any questions. By: Guest on: 4-4-2009
