Headstock replacement

Hi all

I have a Duoglide frame sitting in me loft that has a badly raked headstock and I have been wondering how much work to replace the headstock with a new forging to bring it back to original, I like the look better than the Electra glide frame and fancy swapping everything over to it.

Cheers Graham.

Re: Headstock replacement

There use to firms in sweden that sold frames using copies of the original forgings and castings [so i guess you could just buy the casting you want],i just read about them in magazines ,maybe try flathead power [although i think they might be owned by sas now ,try posting on www. shovelhead jakaroo

This lot do Knucklehead frames with original casting numbers on so good that AMCA judges are getting twitchy.

Re: Headstock replacement

They seem to have the parts I need (about £230+) but how much work is there in removing the old and fitting the new? I will have to look into it a bit more.
Cheers.
