Just said new frame because that perticular bike looks like it uses a new frame. The top n bottom frame tubes look like they are both 1 piece. I'm deff thinking of switching out my shock for a solid bar n drop the back as much as possible. Would look seriously cool. Lol.

But why?
or buy a (cough cough) hd frame and try to put the motor in it would be cheaper
but again
Why?
1. Just trying to make this forum a little bit more interesting.
2. Looks cool when the gap between rear tire and fender is 1/4"
3. Install fat tire and could be a lot cheaper than Sumo-X (no need for swing arm and torque arm) and definitely a lot cheaper than frankenfury
4. Why not?
Why to do any mods at all?

People love the look of a fender that hugs the tire... best way to do that is with a hardtail. Otherwise, you get the gap between the seat and fender like the HD Rocker, and I think that gap looks hideous. It was the sole reason I don't own a rocker today.
I understand people looking to be extreme... it's when people push the envelope that we find those in-between steps that the masses will jump on.

The only thing that makes it hard to ride is the handlebars. I think they looks cool but would not choose them for my bike. You can still ride the hardtail!![]()
The Fury is a compromise, you can ride it
The Furious is no compromise.
p.s. They both were conceived at Honda R&D Americas.
Like I said before: I would do it in the heartbeat if I had some help with pipe bender and welding. I just don't wanna pay some shop to do it for me, don't have that kind of budget.
I would also add another 2* or 3* to the rake, but I think it's ridicules how much the shop charges for the 3 cuts and welds.

What Husker said. I think it would look cool as anything out there, just not conducive for old bony assess

Some members of the forum reported scraping the cobra sweeps on the stock spring. If I ever do this mod I will change my cobras for something custom anyway.

Evo, most of us are dealing with snow and cold weather, the only thing we are thinking about is March 21st, we plan our winters before the winter and budget accordingly. I'm sure if you would have posted this idea back then you would have been received better.
Don't take it personal, some people like the fury just the way it is. To each his own...

Don't take me wrong I love it the way it is, but I get bored very quickly. I'm trading cars for new ones almost every year without loosing any money on it. But unfortunately I can't do this with my Fury, so I have to change something in it all the time.Evo, most of us are dealing with snow and cold weather, the only thing we are thinking about is March 21st, we plan our winters before the winter and budget accordingly.
