"What is a Motorcycle Frame"
99 Road King frame sanded & paint wear spots.  
Install new wheel & triple tree bearings, ok tires
is a Factory new frame, same as a 2024 frame.
Harley isn't making allot of parts for later bikes, like a 6 speed transmission shaft and more parts simple aren't being made.   Is still lots of parts for earlier bikes. Harley is not making parts.   Why pay $$$ for latter bikes when you have a bike with same degree of available parts? |

"Buy Spare Parts"
If yer keeping the bike: Clutch, cables, 12v relays.  
Go LED on Amazon save $$$.   Stock rings, transmission seal & bearing kit,
engine seal and bearing kit.   Head temp, crank and cam sensors.
Fuel injectors, manifold gaskets.
Example: Price for extra parts on earlier bike is far less than buying latter bike with no available parts down the road. Is a parts issue with eather bike.   Blowing smoke?   Lightly hone jugs, buy stock rings, good for 100,000 miles. |

My 1999 Road King Classic |
Magnetti Mirelli injection no spare parts.   Broke down, is 750lbs of scrap iron.   Carb Conversion $2,000. Delphi injection conversion & Thunder Max tuner = $4,000.   Spare parts are everywhere forever. Regulations allow carb conversions however may not allow buyer to register a carb bike. |
