City Frame or Track Frame? Last minute decision!

[TomsGarage]

Alright guys, I'm revisiting this again, the team is starting to build my frame today and I have one last chance to decide track vs city this evening before they get to the point of no return. I know that the track frame is not that difficult to get in, but the city is a good bit easier. It also does have cleaner visual lines IMO. On the other hand, I plan on having about 350rwhp, so safety is an important concern.

Pros of city frame:
Easier to get into
Cleaner visual lines

Pros of track frame:
More roll over protection
Can attach a mesh top cover for sun protection

You may be best off with the Track frame, running that type of power!

I saw your frame on the weld out jig last weekend! Good to hear they are getting to finish it up! I rode in the track frame and it wasn't bad to get in at all.

It also doesn't look bad at all in person. It is a little cleaner looking in person..

I have a city frame on order and am having second thoughts about it, which may not help you in your decision.

How was the visability in the track frame? Do the A pillars block any of your normal out front vision?

It was fine given what it was. I mean you can see the A pillars when you look out in front of you?

I'm not sure what you are asking.

Because the tubes are only 1.5" in diameter I believe, they don't cause any blindspots

Decided on the track frame, mainly for safety. Had someone bring up the case of running into something with an overhand, like the back of a truck or a guardrail. Could get ugly without the a pillars. Can't wait!

I think you made the right choice!

Very old thread but I’m ready to pull the trigger, but on the fence on which frame.

Not sure if I’ve seen any pictures of anyone that has a full cage with easy entry, anybody have one?

If I bought the full cage I would definitely have the easy entry. I watched goon squad get in and out of there goblin and they are half my size , and 35 years younger.So I thought no way I would want to climb in out every time I wanted to stop somewhere

 

[Jareth]

I did see that video and kinda thought i might have trouble doing the same

Thanks for the pictures, they sealed the deal for me.

 

[Ross]

You're welcome. You didn't pick this one?

 

[Jareth]

Would have but one reason for the full frame is for an optional canopy for the summer month’s her in SWFL

Does Dan Perry's have a windscreen attached to the front of the track frame?

 

[Towerdog]

You still have the next 3-4 months to finalize your desition. I changed my frame style the morning it was being welded up.

 

[Ross]

Yes. He did that himself. I read about it in his build thread.

Ill have to do some reading. Thanks Ross
