    Looking to trade: 1938 BT frame for 1939 BT frame

    Looking to trade a very nice 1938 Big Twin Frame for a similar condition 1939 Big Twin Frame.

    Checking the hallmarks against Palmers new edition, it appears my frame is a 1938.

    The frame has all castings / forgings un-molested. The tool box mount, and rear fender mount behind the transmission have been repaired / replaced by an expert frame man and is all strait an ready to go. I would rate the condition of this frame as a very solid 9 out of 10.
    PM or email me if interested.

    The frame is trade only and not for sale.

    I should also add that I'd be more than happy to just buy a 1939 frame if a trade doesn't work for you. If it is a purchase and not a trade, then the 1939 frame does NOT have to be in the same very good condition as my 1938 frame.

        Mark. Is your 1939 engine early, mid, or late?

          The VIN is in the 3400's (39EL34xx). Is that mid or late?

              Hi Mark. Early 1939 still used the 1938 frame with the number 3 revision neck and the welded cap, axle carrier. I was checking to see if your engine may have suited your frame, but it is a couple thousand outside acceptable range.
              Good luck on the search.
