ZODIAC\’S FAT TUBE DRAGSTER STYLE EVOLUTION SOFTAIL FRAME KIT

ZODIAC\’S SPORTAIL SPORTSTER FRAME FOR 200 AND 250 TIRES

A custom built frame should not only look right but also handle well and must withstand the most severe stress, vibration and fatigue tests. It is also normal practice that the engine and transmission combination must fit in the frame without grinding, drilling or any other modification. You can be assured that this frame is the best and nothing but the best. For the Custom Builder that likes a Softail with « Stretched Lowrider » looks, this sleek design Softail frame has it all. The Wide-Tail frame uses thick wall tubing in some sections of the frame, which drastically improves the strength and roadholding without disturbing the lines. To give that sleek, stretched lowrider look, steering head is raked to 38 degrees. This requires a 4″ to 8″ overstock fork depending on the wheel and tire size used. The rear section of the frame is widened to accept extra wide tires, including our new « Big Foot » Avon 200 tire, in combination with final chain drive. All mounts for side stand and forward controls are welded in place. Frames and swingarms are fully Tig-Welded for superior strength. Frame kits come complete with frame, swingarm, stainless swingarm pivot bolt with chrome spacer and bearing kit, chrome rear wheel axle and Stainless Steel protection plates for swingarm, engine and shocks. All parts are separately available. Fender struts must be ordered separately.
Note: Zodiac Wide Tail frames are approved by the Dutch R.D.W. and the German TÜV as a replacement frame for Harley-Davidson motorcycles, engine capacity may not exceed 1740 cc, power may not exceed 110 Horsepower. They may be used in combination with our TÜV approved rear Swingarms and our TÜV approved Ceriani front forks.
Note: Wide Tail frames with a different rake are available on special order. These special ordered frames have the same quality features as the stock frames but the design change will void the TÜV approval. Special ordered frames require a 50% deposit. There is 6 to 8 weeks delivery time on those frames from the time your down payment is received. Ask your Zodiac dealer for more details

The Big Brother of our Wide-Tail and Super-Ass frames. These frames have the exact same features as our other TÜV approved Softail frames, except that the frame down tubing diameter is increased to an incredible 35mm outer diameter and the rear swingarm tubing to 28mm, making it the Fattest looking frame on the market. These Fat Tube Dragster Style frame kits are available in both the Wide-Tail and Super-Ass versions. Fat Tube Wide-Tail frame kits accept a 200 wide rear tire with late type Narrow final drive belt, Fat Tube Super-Ass frame kits accept 250 wide rear tire in combination with late Narrow final belt drive. Note: Tires must be used with correct rim size. You can be assured that this frame is the best and nothing but the best. The steering head is raked to 38 degrees (other rakes available on special order), this requires a 4″ to 8″ overstock fork depending on the wheel and tire size used. All mounts for side stand and forward controls are welded in place. Frames are fully TIG welded for superior strength. Frame kits come complete with frame, swingarm, stainless swingarm pivot bolt with chrome spacer and bearing kit, chrome rear wheel axle and Stainless Steel protection plates for swingarm, engine and shocks. Super-Ass frames also include a primary spacer ring, and offset transmission mounting plate. All parts are separately available. Wheel spacers, fenders and fender struts, must be ordered separately.

We have created a Sportster frame with the same sleek design as our Wide Tail Softail frame. The Sportail frame features a « Stretched Low-Rider » look, is made from thick wall quality tubing and TIG-welded for improved strength and road holding without disturbing the lines. To obtain the sleek stretched Low-Rider look the steering head is raked to 38 degrees. This requires a 4″ to 8″ overstock fork depending on the wheel and tire size used. The engine is located with no offset in the frame and a rear frame section wide enough to accept extra wide tires. There are two Sportail kits available, the Sportail WideAss, designed to take up to 200 tires, and the Sportail SuperAss, which is wide enough to take up to 250 wide rear tires. Both kits still work in combination with final belt drive. The SuperAss requires an off-set front pulley or a spacer behind the front pulley. Pulley cover requires spacing. The length of the frame requires the use of a drive belt with approx. 135 teeth. Mounts for a Big Twin side stand and Big Twin forward controls as well as 1974 to present Sportster forward controls are welded in place. Stock style Narrow or Wide Glide forks as well as our state-of-the-art Ceriani forks can be used with the frame, it will also accept many other Custom front forks. The frame will take any 1974 thru 1985 Ironhead Sportster engines as well as 4 Speed and 1986 thru 2003 style 5 Speed Evolution Sportster engines. Because of the right hand final drive the stock style Softail oil tank does not fit, therefore our special Sportail style oil tank or a custom made oil tank such as our Custom Round oil tank must be used. The frame is designed to take Softail type parts and accessories such as Flat Side tanks, forward controls, seats and 1989 thru 1999 Softail shock absorbers. Due to the completely different shape of the swingarm a Rigid Frame type rear caliper kit must be used. 1989 thru 1999 Softail shock absorbers can be found elsewhere in this section.
Note: Zodiac Sportail frames are TÜV approved as a replacement frame for Harley-Davidson Sportster motorcycles. They may be used in combination with our TÜV approved GCB front forks and/or any other TÜV approved components.
