Harley Davidson GT Frame

[MazdaFlyer]

Ran across this NOS GT built frame for Harley Davidson in 1998 or 1999. The limited edition (1000) complete bikes were around 5K$. They didn’t hold their value too well. There are a few NOS bikes available out there for 2K$ or so.

Most of the missing parts to this frame were bike specific. With that in mind it seemed like a good candidate for a rat rod make over.

I searched around a bit to see what it looked like stock...

I think it will make a cool custom...but, sure wasn't that attractive stock .

The frame alone is pretty dope, but for a GT/Harley combo I would have expected something a with a bit more nasty bite. The original bike is a tiny nibble at best.
Best luck with your build it’s bound to be stunning by comparison.

Here’s another complete one from a different angle.

The main parts on this thing that I’d be interested in finding are the fender struts. They shouldn’t be too hard to fabricate though.

Found this description:
"Only 1000 of these bikes were produced in 1999 as limited edition model to celebrate Harley Davidsons 95 year anniversary. Featuring solid aluminum construction, a motocross style front suspension from Rock Shox, Carbon Fiber styled front and rear fenders and a Shimano Nexus internal hub for shifting, this bike was designed to replicate old school off road racers like the MX250 (not directly otherwise you would have thought they'd have made the bike orange),"

not sure i see much similarity...maybe the frame is begging for orange paint.

There's one on market place right now in my area. Still has the tags on it. I was gonna contact them about it to strip it for parts, lol, didn't realize it was a limited production and cost that much. Not impressed by it as a whole

Well it you pick it up for parts, I might be interested in the rear fender struts.

Wow, what a cool looking frame and what a weak looking complete bike.

HD and GT should be embarrassed.

Painting it orange would be a step in the right direction.

I've never seen this, and Im a big GT/Dyno cruiser fan.
The HD limited edition GT bicycles I know of were Trouble T roasters with large tanks and this.

The ole guy that owned Tilly's HD in Gastonia,NC had 2 of these in his store. They were in his personal collection and they are nice bikes.

I'm surprised more RRB members have not adapted that rear fender mounting technique on builds.

I've done it a bunch of times in my imagination

Found another piece to the puzzle.

Collecting NOS parts...these wheel sets were to be used on the Zagster Pace Bikeshare program bikes, thus the blue rims.

Possible brake levers.

Possible tires if they ever actually ship.
