Has anyone added a few inches length to a hardtail frame?

Was thinking the rear axle ears would be the easiest place? Its flat stock back there & wouldn't have to mess with tubing &/or bending anything.

I just want to add enough to center the rear wheel under the fender & make the frontend a little heavier for this Lifan. Probably 2" ???

Appreciate any input!

maybe you'll get better result by cutting/extending the frame right under the gaz tank.
everything is possible... just do it!

That yellow job is sweet lol

I'm going to go ahead & extend the rear ears on this one then, use some thicker flat stock for some added strength.
Extending under the tank worries me some, don't want a motovert hardtail lol

Next project is going to be a custom frame for sure...

cheers

Is the pipe on Lifsh*tz bike a custom one? It looks like a Kitaco can, but I haven't seen any Kitaco exhausts with that header.

I like that notch for the carb in the main frame.
I think I better do a test assembly ASAP & see where I'm at regarding my carb height?

Thanks for the pics
