Bigdog EVO 107 into a Santee hard tail frame

[1954bmw]

Really surprised at you guys, evidently, he has an FLT/FXR rubber mount drivetrain. My friend started a Santee rigid frame build and had a rubber mount drivetrain from an older FLT, he chopped the seat post out of the frame and added a frame tube brace on the right side of the frame and mounts to grab the trans mount. This would allow use of his primary's, starter, etc. Would this be cheaper then transferring trans guts and other stuff???? Friend ended up with prostate cancer and I bought the roller, have over 2000 miles on it with a dresser drivetrain. Good luck

If you can weld or know a good weldor that's easy and cheap without drivetrain fuckery as 1954bmw pointed out. Keep in mind the front and rear wheels must be centered so the drivetrain must be be straight and the final drive belt or chain line up.

on a sidenote, that roller looks great! my friend has a bigdog import with the 107" and it hauls ass. Im sure it will be a beast in a stripped down rigid chop

The OP asked about a transmission to fit the frame, not how to make his frame fit his drivetrain. No surprise that his question got answered (OK, a little surprised, thread drift could have killed the answer.)

But, wouldn't it be cheaper and easier to make the frame fit the drivetrain??? He said he doesn't want a three inch belt drive and all his Bigdogg shit would work, no looking for starters and primarys and trans??? Just a thot??

Your approach is certainly a valid solution to the problem. But cheaper and easier, probably not (if done well). Easiest would be to find a frame that fits the drivetrain rather than cut up a (assumed good) frame.

Agreed, did not mean to turn it into a pissin contest, would like to see it when done, Mark

Not interested in an open belt. Wanted to run a closed primary/chain with a belt final drive. I got all the sprockets with the bike.

Since the look you're going to end up with will be a throw back to the 50's ...

If your budget could handle it, sure would be a fitting look .. !!





This move does require the 5 ina 4 case and a new starter to fit ..

Might be better to get another frame and sell the one you have. Frames are cheap..

Not cheap enough. Bought a trans case for $250. Should be a simple switcharoo.

That's good to hear
I thought you had to replace the primary too....
Good luck
