Noob and unknown frame
I just picked up this chopper and was hoping you all could give me an idea of the frame manufacturer. The guy I bought it from rode it for a while and decided that he wanted to paint the frame. He took it apart and lost interest. It has a Montana title and is registered as a 2005 Custom. He said that it was an Ultima frame but I have talked to Ultima and they say that it is not. It is set up for an Evo motor, Left side drive, 240 rear. Any ideas?

Hard to tell without better quality pics but looks like maybe a Redneck Engineering (RE) or maybe an Unlimited Dreams ?? Look for a RE on the neck or post up the first 2 letters on the VIN

When I get back home I will get some better pictures. The first three letters of the VIN are UDP.

Joey, dude you hit it right on the nose. I have been trying for 3 weeks to find this out. I see your in Syracuse? That is only 1.5 hrs away from me. I might be hitting you up for some local parts contacts if you dont mind.

Ok guys, now I think I am really confused I found a picture of a 2005 Redneck Engineering lowlife frame and it looks exactly like mine. Then I found a 2005 Unlimited Dreams pro street and it looks exactly like my frame. Looks like a call to Redneck Engineering is in order.

The vin starting with UD tells me its a Ulimited Dreams....He used to work for Redneck then went off on his own. The frames are pretty much the same. Last I heard Unlimited Dreams was building hotrods no more bike stuff........

Pushrod - those bikes look awesome! Do you happen to know what the rake, rise, and stretch are of that frame? I was thinking of going to a springer front end, would I just measure the current front end and get the same length? I want to keep the build somewhat "budget" do you have any recommendations for a drivetrain? What about buying used?

They were 4" up and 6" out 44 degree in the neck and 5 in the trees. The front ends were about 10" over.....We built these for a local guy he did 3-4 a year. He used Ultima drivetrains in them. Prolly the least expensive option. If I bought used I would only buy better brands like S&S or Baker.....
