Best video on hard tale install period!
Well this Video brought back a lot of memories. Did about 6 Triumphs and 2 HDs back in the 70s. Still miss riding my Choppers. Ride a 17 HD SGS now.
Your narration was a pleasure to hear.
Excellent video. Calm, clear and concise. Easy to follow and understand. Thanks
I got one it was shipped USPS I got it undamaged. I cut frame just like instructions said and it went together great easy install. I going to build my on oil tank and battery box. Thanks Hammer in Hand great hard tail setup.
Nice video! Goes to show you don't need drama to build choppers! Straightforward, calm. Thanks.
The best video I ever saw on frame chopping. Thanks man

Ótimo trabalho muito
Fantastic video. ESPECIALLY the narration. I dint count one "umm". Finally, somebody speaks in an educated fashion. Loved it!
MORE AWESOME AND RADICAL!
Good jobs
Measurements on that motor mount jig you got there would be awsome!. (dont have a motor yet, but wanna start a framebuild)
I love this video! Where can I get a back rigid frame like that. u guys rock!
awwwwwesome video.....it helped me atot...:)...!
i played a couple shows with the goddamn gallows in high school at the mug room in corpus christi texas. haha theyre wild. sick hardtail too btw. ill probably be buying one in a couple months.
genial!!
awesome!
How about a video for the 79 to 81 since they get cut in a different spot in the frames are a little different
Ivan hey Tom Boswell here I spoke with you on the phone, anyway I just got the treadle to finally do what it's supposed to, I just don't see my hand piece hitting hard enough could it be just in the handpiece itself? It's a hand piece ordered off of Amazon. The cheapest I could find I think. I'm sure you know the one.anyway I used my own piston and don't have a spring in there with it.??????? I'm close but ????? Any way the treadle is bad ass works great I like it. You're awesome thanks for your help.
If the hard tail kit stretches the frame 5", where do you get the longer drive belt? Just wondering. Thanks for posting this how to on installing the tail.
I have a millermatic140 and says it can weld up to 3/16. The most I’ve welded was bodywork panels. How thick are your hardtails?
Diggin' the Goddamn Gallows for tunes!
Georgeous intruction, where can I find that kind of hardtail with the plugin tubes for the frame? I guess, it's way easier to install with that plugin tubes on it.
is there a particular steel that is better to use to fix a whole in the frame? 1976 cb 750 f is the bike? any help would be great. great vid too!
I take my frames to my local monument company for sand blasting before working on them. They all use blasters to cut names and dates on grave stones and nearly all do blasting on the side for cash. No paint, no rust, no Bondo, no problem.
awesome .i need a formation
Abdelkadir Mehadeni what do you mean?
Well cool.. Am off too cut my stock frame up man....
Do you do kits for other bikes I got a virago
cool
They fit the K models as well which came out in 1952 it’s like the flathead granddaddy of the Sportster, so not that hard;)
do you make a hard tail for a late model 1984 xlx ironhead frame will it work on my application if so how much ....
Awesome video! Please tell us what make and model this bike is.
Sorry, just got a smart phone. I didn’t realize people were putting comments on these, to be honest, I didn’t know you could. It’s a 1974 Harley Sportster. We make ‘em for Sportsters up to 2003.
You guys make great vids. Too bad you quit.
Ed Smelly I know man, just got tough when we started getting really busy but we’re back;)
Great video guys.. Question do you sell your kit to Australia? If so email cheers Ryan
Hello, I been restoring dirt bikes for about 2 years now and want to get into fabricating some frames, etc. Could you recommend a welder kit I could use for small Jobs without breaking the Bank. Thanks. Awesome Job...
SMS CUSTOMS the one I use in the video is a great little welder for the price. About $700 online. I have 5 different machines and I still use this little guy all the time for stuff. I’ve had this one about 16-18 Years now and it’s still going strong. Sorry about not responding sooner. I just found out that people were commenting. Just got a smart phone.
Dido on the best vid comment
bad ass!!! \m/
I'm the one who brought to the attention of HIH that the hard tail doesn't mount up to the '79 through '81 frames the same way as shown in this video. When I hard tailed my 1980 XLS we had to fabricate a new back bone to get the hard tail to fit correctly. This is due to the stock rear section meeting up the back bone higher than the earlier years, and that section where you cut is ovaled (This is the factory design), so the hard tail back bone slug won't fit in the tube.
I need to find out which chassis frame structure is best to use but it has to be light weight as well
I have a 1980 yamaha xj650, is there a weld on hardtail kit that i can get for it?
Are your kits still available for purchase?
A little off topic but something you said at the end of the video made me wonder...if you build a frame completely from scratch do you have to get some kind of special documentation if you intend to register/tag/ride it on the street?
If so, what documentation and how do you get it?
Depends on your state. The DMV has the forms. I'd talk to any used car dealer in the area they know how to work the system.
Cool thanks bud.
where did you get your motor jig at???
where can i get a strait back hard tail weld on ?
VC fais hum dese ai pra min ??? E quanto que VC cobra pra faze
❤
@usp246 looks like an ironhead sportster frame.
How much does the labor for this kind of conversation cost on a 78 Ironhead? I'm thinking about having this done to mine!
$150 for labor plus the cost of the hardtail and shipping. So $549.99+shipping. :)
Where can I get a hard tail for a 1979 Suzuki GS1000?
***** ha, i want to do the same to a 81 gs750 that i have:)) i think in our case, its building your own frame. there were couple of bobber build on gsresources
chaisy frame pipe thickness plese tel me
Will this kit fit a 2012 Harley Davidson iron
King Leo currently we only have hardtails up to 2003
Do yall make it for an 81?
where do i get one of these hardtail kits?
Saol Ghra , HammerInHandCycles.com
this video is very good but the hard tails come with no instructions and this video is the only referance you have and the frame u use in it is the 52-78, and from what i had the 79-81 frame is totaly differrent and wasnt as easy as he made it seem in the video.
Wow really, can't believe your welding with out jig table. Plus Tig way to go. Bump them out I guess. however, not knocking it still seen crazyer builds from 80's to spend2000's. my chop would take more time on frame don't wot to over heat tube. it could crack when cooling down or tube change readings .
you still selling this kit ?
jddilligaff absolutely we're still here kicking as hard as ever. Call or email the shop contact@hammerinhandcycles.com, 9892272453
You use gas while welding?
Goddamn gallows playing in the background
How much are the 52 - 78 weld on kits ?
Went to your site 399.99
Music? Musica? Song?
What year & make is that frame????????????
be really hard to do on a 52-56 iron head seeing how they didn't make the first one until 1957
david beard they fit the K models, that’s what is meant by that. The K model is like the flathead granddaddy of the Sportster.
Yep, buncha stuff for the 650's. See EBay.
I guarantee your from Michigan
GENESIS420 not exactly sure what you mean by that, but I’ll take it as a compliment;)
your jacket looks a little small.
Critical Mass Hahahaha, nice
Whacky antics
