I'm all about building bikes with the lowest dollar being the challenge.  I built a '96 S&S stroker Pan/shovel chopper once for $7,500.  Most of the parts came out of the scrap metal bin at the local Harley shop.  But I'm getting off topic, the point is a sub $5,000 replica HL replica should be easy. You need to do it to balance out the bikes that blow the budget.

Me too, did my twin cam bike off ebay for about NZD 8k .... it features 100 cube Axtel barrels and ported heads etc etc, it is built tough like an HL.



Mmmm almost as handsome as those HLs to ;D get in quick while the price of scraps up and you will get a return on your 8K with the weight of that forker , shit ill even toss in the worlds biggest farm bike collection to add another 25% to the scrap value  ;)
Seriously Marc ditch all that shit and get stuck into that nice original TT 600 lurking in the background  :) i think i have a Nos cyl for one of those .

    Nice isoceles triangle !

Are two sides equal??? It's certainly loading the shocks with leverage!

I can see him now sending the worlds largest shipment of farm bikes accross the Tasman just so HE can get hold of a TT500 and build his HL500 thats he's dreamed about ever since he left the old Dart.....I can see the Union Jack on the tank, a custom made stepladder to hop on board, a set of rollers to start it and Kate Winslet waiting with a cuppa tea for when he gets off.....jolly good ride William.... ;D

A fair bit of leverage yes but I'd guess an effective rising rate to the rear suspension

The lines of the frame remind me of the French BARRIGO frames. Their XT/TT frames looked very much like that in the back end.
I can't remember what swing arm they used though, steel or alloy
