Softail Streetbob??

Went to a rally over the weekend, looking around other peoples Harleys has re-awakened my yearnings for a sof-tail.

Now, I am really happy with every other aspect of my streetbob and have spent a small fortune on making it mine, so don't want to sell it. Does anyone know if there is a softail kit for a TC88 or is it a whole new frame???

Cheers, Roy

Whole new frame. You'd never get the shocks underneath the dyna gearbox.

If you want a stonking softail with all the performance you can handle and plenty left over, give Moley a shout. I think he still has my old one. Someone is going to end up with a bargain on that bike.

keep your bob for the handling!
you will never fit the engine in a harley softail frame because of the engine being of a unit construction.. gearbox attached to motor (softails have their gearbox separate)
I am sure I have seen an aftermarket softail frame for dyna motors somewhere.. or you could get a custom shop to make you one
