KR Style Bolt-On Hardtails
for Ironhead Sportsters
Inspired by the early Harley-Davidson looped KR style
race frames, this KR style bolt-on hardtail from
Brunswick, Ohio based Lowbrow Customs fits stock
front frame sections on Ironhead Sportsters from
1967 to 1978.
LowBrow’s ‘High Brow’, Tyler Malinky, a man known
for assiduous attention to detail and authenticity,
says “Harley-Davidson produced the KR factory race
bike in 1952, and it dominated the track until
production ended in 1968. Until now, KR style looped
hardtail frames were unavailable.”
Fortunately, Lowbrow Customs is known for
producing original, high-quality custom motorcycle
parts and this KR Style hardtail is no exception. It
accepts the stock rear wheel, axle and brake, and
includes axle adjusters. The unique style and
simplicity of installation provide a perfect base for
any Ironhead Sportster bobber, chopper or race bike
build.
“Each frame is hand-made from 1” x .125” wall crew
tubing with 5/16” thick axle plates and designed to
bolt right up to your frame with ease. Lowbrow KR
hardtails are approximately 4” stretch over stock
wheelbase and 2” drop (2 inches lower than
stock). Each hardtail frame section is proudly
made in Cleveland, Ohio exclusively for us,
to our own design.”
