What is your skill level mechanically?

Consider a nightster? or really any of the dark night HD series.

Mechanically? Nothing is beyond my ability, I dont remember if I mentioned it here, but I built my 1000R from 9 boxes of parts, including the motor, which should say everything you need to know about my level of knowledge.

Can you weld? Cause if so then the possibilites are endless. Could take a bobber frame and put it together with a buell motor/trans and front forks, and front wheel brakes.

I still have to learn welding, Right now I'm not exactly good at it. I kinda wish my grandfather was still around to teach me this shit. Oxy acetelyne and arc/mig/tig are still outside my range of knowledge for now. so odds are I'll just find something I like out of the box, ride it, and later on buy another to spend years modifying.

A few years ago i bought a cambel housefeld 125 mig welder, and a book, welding for dummies. Its actually easier than it looks. It probably took me a few hours to learn how to make a passable weld, and a few weeks to do it pretty good. I think the total investment was close to $300 to get started.

05 Shadow 750, total spent in mods(not counting the tools) $300 fork extensions & adjustable struts. Rest is by hand and tool.

That's fucking sick, I love it.

They have tons of possibilities n their site. essentially a buell or sportster donor is all you need to get started.

welcome to the "you should have seen how fast I was club" :rockwoot: we're gonna live longer now and pay fewer fines. ............maybe, I do know (first hand)that a HD will wheelie. LOL
