Looking around for a neck like the old casted ones, just without the rest of it the casting(where downtubes and backbone come in). I only know of the bitter end choppers necks and a couple others but they only sell the unmachined tube or a funky hourglass lookin neck. Anybody machining some that look close to old oem ones?

Contact John at "hard tail choppers" or " Raceframe engineering " for some quality castings.
Just saw Drags mentioned R.E. ...would have put them first!!!Comment

Thanks for the reply, but i am not looking for the actual casting, just the steering neck portion that mimicks the oem bullneck style.
So it would be like this...
But as close to the above picture.
I dont have a lathe, or id machine something up similar. Nobody has made a batch of these?Comment

No such thing.... Find someone with a lathe and have them cut one for you..Thanks for the reply, but i am not looking for the actual casting, just the steering neck portion that mimicks the oem bullneck style.

Al at Bitter End Choppers replied to an email I sent about your request; he said he has what you want:
"Thanks, Terry, appreciate the heads up. I'm kinda confused, though. I stock and sell those necks. Have plenty on the shelf. So, if he wants one, why not just order one from us?"
"What am I missing?"
Al
I told him, "He wants just the neck, the bullneck, not the casting"
"My necks are cut on a lathe from billet steel. They are not casted. So, I'm still confused." Al

Yea a {bull neck} refers to the fat casting on a Knuckle frame... But he doesn't want a cast neck... Yep it's confusing for sure...Comment

The OP question should have been, I'm looking for a steering neck that doesn't look like an hour glass just straight sides..... I can't find one...Comment

Arie makes these for $55 bucks, nice guy. Thought they looked pretty close to what the enigma wanted.

Handbook says ID should be 1.313", minimum OD 1.65" with 2" OD on the tapered end side using 2"x.334 wall DOM tubing. It's cheap to have one CNC machined to whatever look you want...maybe like this: whatever.

Tattoo, thanks for clearing up my terminology.
And yes! Seaking, that is alot closer to what i want. 50 bucks is a deal for sure. Ive seen a couple on instagram already on bikes and wondered if somebody made one for their bike and did a couple extra or something.Comment

Read all the post, scrounge up a swing arm, and cut the neck off and have at it.Last edited by BuddhahoodVato; 02-06-2018, 12:59 PM.Comment
