The V-Twin 1958-1964 FL Swingarm Frame offers a high-quality replacement designed specifically for Harley Davidson FL models from 1958 through 1964. Crafted with forged components, this frame features an authentic construction that includes the neck, motor mounts, front transmission mount, top seat post yoke, fender strut, swingarm pivot mount, and footboard mount, ensuring durability and a vintage look. Its lower drop frame design provides a sleek profile suitable for custom builds and restorations. The frame accommodates Panhead and Shovelhead engines, with compatibility for 4-speed left side drive transmissions, round or square swingarms, and an early wrap-around oil tank. The neck is designed to accept a plunger-type lock assembly and includes provisions for a lock insert, enhancing security and functionality.
This frame is engineered to accept a 6-volt battery, maintaining compatibility with vintage electrical systems. It is also compatible with 1958-72 round drum brake or 1973-85 square swingarm setups, with recommendations for using 12 or 13-1/2 inch shocks depending on the brake type. Rear drum brake models should use 13-1/2 inch shocks, while rear disc brake models require 12-inch shocks to ensure optimal performance. The seat post bushing may need reaming for a proper fit, which simplifies installation and customization. Please note that UPS may classify this oversized package based on shipping dimensions, which could affect shipping costs. The frame does not have serial numbers stamped on it, but V-Twin supplies a Bill of Sale for legal and registration purposes.
For added security and functionality, it is recommended to use the suggested neck key lock (#37-9021) and shock studs (#54-0464). This frame is ideal for builders seeking an authentic, durable foundation for vintage Harley Davidson FL restorations or custom projects. It is manufactured in Taiwan, ensuring quality control and adherence to industry standards. Accessory items such as the rear rigid hardtail section, Parkerized seat post assembly, raw finish swingarm, and chrome swingarm pivot kit are available separately to complete your build.
