SOFTAIL SWINGARM KIT FOR UP TO 300 TIRES

A custom built frame should not only look right but also handle well and must withstand the most severe stress, vibration and fatigue tests. It is also normal practice that the engine and transmission combination must fit in the frame without grinding, drilling or any other modification. You can be assured that this frame is the best and nothing but the best. For the Custom Builder that likes a Softail with « Stretched Lowrider » looks, this sleek design Softail frame has it all. The Wide-Tail frame uses thick wall tubing in some sections of the frame, which drastically improves the strength and roadholding without disturbing the lines. To give that sleek, stretched lowrider look, steering head is raked to 38 degrees. This requires a 4″ to 8″ overstock fork depending on the wheel and tire size used. The rear section of the frame is widened to accept extra wide tires, including our new « Big Foot » Avon 200 tire, in combination with final chain drive. All mounts for side stand and forward controls are welded in place. Frames and swingarms are fully Tig-Welded for superior strength. Frame kits come complete with frame, swingarm, stainless swingarm pivot bolt with chrome spacer and bearing kit, chrome rear wheel axle and Stainless Steel protection plates for swingarm, engine and shocks. All parts are separately available. Fender struts must be ordered separately.
Note: Zodiac Wide Tail frames are approved by the Dutch R.D.W. and the German TÜV as a replacement frame for Harley-Davidson motorcycles, engine capacity may not exceed 1740 cc, power may not exceed 110 Horsepower. They may be used in combination with our TÜV approved rear Swingarms and our TÜV approved Ceriani front forks.
Note: Wide Tail frames with a different rake are available on special order. These special ordered frames have the same quality features as the stock frames but the design change will void the TÜV approval. Special ordered frames require a 50% deposit. There is 6 to 8 weeks delivery time on those frames from the time your down payment is received. Ask your Zodiac dealer for more details

The Big Brother of our Wide-Tail and Super-Ass frames. These frames have the exact same features as our other TÜV approved Softail frames, except that the frame down tubing diameter is increased to an incredible 35mm outer diameter and the rear swingarm tubing to 28mm, making it the Fattest looking frame on the market. These Fat Tube Dragster Style frame kits are available in both the Wide-Tail and Super-Ass versions. Fat Tube Wide-Tail frame kits accept a 200 wide rear tire with late type Narrow final drive belt, Fat Tube Super-Ass frame kits accept 250 wide rear tire in combination with late Narrow final belt drive. Note: Tires must be used with correct rim size. You can be assured that this frame is the best and nothing but the best. The steering head is raked to 38 degrees (other rakes available on special order), this requires a 4″ to 8″ overstock fork depending on the wheel and tire size used. All mounts for side stand and forward controls are welded in place. Frames are fully TIG welded for superior strength. Frame kits come complete with frame, swingarm, stainless swingarm pivot bolt with chrome spacer and bearing kit, chrome rear wheel axle and Stainless Steel protection plates for swingarm, engine and shocks. Super-Ass frames also include a primary spacer ring, and offset transmission mounting plate. All parts are separately available. Wheel spacers, fenders and fender struts, must be ordered separately. A Super Ass frame also requires the purchase of the correct extended sprocket shaft extension and sprocket shaft nut.

These special ordered frames have the same quality features as the stock frames but the design change will void the TÜV approval. Special ordered frames require a 50% deposit.

We have created a Sportster frame with the same sleek design as our Wide Tail Softail frame. The Sportail frame features a « Stretched Low-Rider » look, is made from thick wall quality tubing and TIG-welded for improved strength and road holding without disturbing the lines. To obtain the sleek stretched Low-Rider look the steering head is raked to 38 degrees. This requires a 4″ to 8″ overstock fork depending on the wheel and tire size used. The engine is located with no offset in the frame and a rear frame section wide enough to accept extra wide tires. There are two Sportail kits available, the Sportail WideAss, designed to take up to 200 tires, and the Sportail SuperAss, which is wide enough to take up to 250 wide rear tires. Both kits still work in combination with final belt drive. The SuperAss requires an off-set front pulley or a spacer behind the front pulley. Pulley cover requires spacing. The length of the frame requires the use of a drive belt with approx. 135 teeth. Mounts for a Big Twin side stand and Big Twin forward controls as well as 1974 to present Sportster forward controls are welded in place. Stock style Narrow or Wide Glide forks as well as our state-of-the-art Ceriani forks can be used with the frame, it will also accept many other Custom front forks. The frame will take any 1974 thru 1985 Ironhead Sportster engines as well as 4 Speed and 1986 thru 2003 style 5 Speed Evolution Sportster engines. Because of the right hand final drive the stock style Softail oil tank does not fit, therefore our special Sportail style oil tank or a custom made oil tank such as our Custom Round oil tank must be used. The frame is designed to take Softail type parts and accessories such as Flat Side tanks, forward controls, seats and 1989 thru 1999 Softail shock absorbers. Due to the completely different shape of the swingarm a Rigid Frame type rear caliper kit must be used. 1989 thru 1999 Softail shock absorbers can be found elsewhere in this section.
Note: Zodiac Sportail frames are TÜV approved as a replacement frame for Harley-Davidson Sportster motorcycles. They may be used in combination with our TÜV approved GCB front forks and/or any other TÜV approved components.

The Super-Ass swingarm kit is for those that want to convert their Softail or Wide-Tail Softail to accept Avon’s 230 X 15 Super Wide rear tire. This tire measures 250mm wide if fitted on an 8″ wide rim. Kit bolts straight into both the stock Softail frame as well as the Zodiac WideTail frame. You can still use the final belt drive when used in a WideTail frame, a stock Softail must be converted to final chain drive or the late 20mm wide belt. When you use this narrow belt or a chain in a Zodiac WideTail frame you can easily go up to a 250 series tire.

The complete kit includes:
•Fully TIG welded swingarm with stainless fender extension plate
•Swingarm pivot
•Rear wheel axle with chrome nuts
•Crankshaft extension for 1986 thru 1999 models
•Extended crankshaft nut for 1991 thru 1999 models
•Primary spacer with O-ring and bolts
•Longer inner primary mounting bolts
•Primary gasket set
•Transmission off-set plate
•A complete new bracket and hardware kit for the 5th transmission mounting stud

Kits can also be used for 1987 thru 1990 models if correct crankshaft extension, extended sprocket shaft nut and primary gaskets are used. Due to the wide variety of wheels,fenders, fender struts, and wheel spacers are not included,these can be found elsewhere in this catalog.

How can one fit a 270, 280 or even 300 in a stock Softail frame? Simple, that’s where Zodiac comes in. Zodiac’s Ton Pels designed a complete extra wide swingarm kit that includes a « no jig needed » frame widening kit as well as the primary offset kit that allows the use of up to 300 tires in stock and most aftermarket frames. The frame widening is done with a 15mm. thick offset banana shaped frame side plate. The banana shape side plate is welded in to place using the original banana plate as the welding jig. The location of the engine/transmission of the Evolution models in the frame has a 1/4″ difference compared to the Twin Cam models. Therefore the offset in the frame plate, in combination with our 45mm primary offset kit provides enough room for up-to 250 series rear tires in Evolution Softail frames, and 280 series rear tires in Twin Cam Softail frames. If the offset plate is used in conjunction with our 55mm primary offset, the kit provides enough room for Avon’s extreme wide 300 series tires in a 2000 thru 2006 Twin Cam Softail frame, or Metzeler 280 series rear tire in an Evolution Softail frame. The offset plate with 25mm primary offset kit for 2007 to present models provides enough room to install a 280 series rear tire.

The complete kit contains a swingarm, offset banana frame side plate and a very complete primary offset kit. Primary offset kit for models thru 2006 includes primary spacer ring with support bearing, crankshaft extension, extension nut, primary gasket kit, extended main shaft, extended main drive gear, offset front pulley, extended starter motor coupler with extended bolt and all extended primary bolts with locking plates. Primary offset kits for 2007 to present contain a primary spacer ring without support bearing. The OEM brake caliper can be re-used. and tabs for the belt guard are welded in place. The kits for Evolution Softail must be used with a Twin Cam type 1 1/8″ wide, 135 tooth final belt and a 70 tooth 1 1/8″ wide pulley. When installing this kit in a 1991 thru 1993 model a late style countershaft 5th gear (ZPN237074) must be ordered separately. For selected models we have complete kits that include a complete 6-speed conversion too.

Note: We strongly recommend a craftsman or certified welder does the welding of the side plate. When needed, Zodiac can arrange the welding for you. Just ask your Zodiac dealer.
Note: The Evolution models will accept the 300 series tire if the wheel is slightly offset to the right side.
Note: We designed a special 29 front, 65 rear pulley and belt combination to create extra belt clearance on extremely lowered bikes. Check this out in the rear belt and pulley section.
