Radical NessArlen Ness' updated radial styling now accepts up to a 300-series tire. The frame includes all the features that made the Y2K-250 frames famous. It accepts an Evo or Twin Cam-style engine with appropriate RSD transmission. The use of a right-side-drive transmission eliminates the use of offsets while centering the engine and transmission. It accepts either 1-1/8-inch or 1-1/2-inch rear belts (133-tooth for 65-tooth pulleys or 135-tooth for 70-tooth pulleys). The frames accept any of the Arlen Ness 13-inch rear fenders. Each kit includes the frame, swingarm, battery box, billet- aluminum fender struts, 12-inch Progressive suspension, 1-inch chrome-moly axle, billet hidden axle covers, and billet-aluminum regulator mount. A 330mm tire will only fit with the use of a chain drive and a custom-fabricated strutless rear fender.
