We Need Your Photos: David Bird Hardtails & Frames

We are looking for any photos of David Bird hardtails in action, as rollers or preferably finished bikes. Triumphs, XS650's, Sportsters, if you are running one of David's frames or hardtails please email over some photos. Also include the stretch & drop of your frame so we can include that info and use some photos on our website to show off different frame styles. If we use your photos on our site we will hook you up with a nice care package, so send 'em over or take some nice pics! Thank you!

Introducing The Sportster Bolt-On Hardtail By David Bird

David Bird has just finished his newest frame, a Sportster bolt-on hardtail that fits 1954 - 1978 (other year ranges being prototyped now!). David Bird Triumph, BSA and XS650 frames have been the basis for countless killer builds, featured in magazines world-wide. This is an innovative frame that is a bolt-on with a super easy install but that doesn't use the stock shock mounts as other frames on the market do. These are each hand crafted to order in your choice of straight or David's signature looped style hardtail rails, and +0", +2", +4" or +6" of stretch and -0", -1", -2", -3" or -4" of drop. The frame pictured here is a looped style, 4" stretch, 2" drop. All necessary hardware is included, and all the hardware and the hardtail frames are 100% Made In The USA! Forget the junky cheap-o imports that have been around for years, this is the highest quality Sportster hardtail on the market. Get yours today!


See just how easy it is to install your hardtail for 1954 - 1972 Sportsters or 1973 - 1978 Sportsters. Within a couple of hours you can have your hardtail installed and your stock wheel, axle, spacers and drum brake setup right back in place! The only difference in the two year ranges is a forged seat post / shock mount area versus the later square bar style, the install is just as easy for each.

Through the last 6 years of making hardtails for Triumphs and BSA motorcycles, David Bird's reputation as a world-class fabricator has become widespread. Just finished up is this new weld-on hardtail for Yamaha xs650 motorcycles. This innovative design allows you to leave your stock motor mounts in place not having to cut and sleeve your vertical seat post tube and have the possibility of maligning your frame. These frame are available in both straight and looped end styles made to your specs for stretch and drop!

You've been asking....here's your answer.

So you want to hardtail your XS650?

And maybe you have emailed us over the last year repeatedly asking when the David Bird XS hardtail will be ready? Well I just got off the phone and it looks like he is working on the layout and jig right now, so your answer.....It looks like they will be ready for production within a month! See, we didn't forget!

Who Is David Bird?

Wes White and I were in BFE, Missouri last week at David Bird's fabrication shop. Aside from being a top-notch fabricator, Dave is also a great guy and both he and his wife are very hospitable. The three of us have collaborated on work for quite some time, and we decided to use Dave's 34 years of welding and fabricating experience to spread the knowledge around.




Stay tuned for more info, coming soon.. A big thanks goes out to Lincoln Electric as well, located in my hometown of Cleveland, Ohio, who supplied some killer new equipment for us to play with.
