anyone into custom choppers?

[BARRACUDA340S]

I've been thinking about buying a rolling chasis and building one. I have no idea where to look or start. I like them long and low. I also want a soft tail with a 300 tire. I've been told you can save a ton of $$$ doing it yourself. Any of you guy's know about these things or have you researched it. If so give me some links.

On the other hand it looks like you can buy a used one some what reasonable but most are hard tail.

15 Years ago I built a 1965 Sportster chopper. Was alot of fun to do.
Did it all myself cost wasn't too bad for the time.
But I kept it simple.

A guy I work with his nephew bought a Jesse James bike and spent 45k on it, It was a used bike when He got it. Dont buy any parts from O.C.C, Jesse or any other pro builder. They get big $$$$ for there parts.

I almost bought a Night train a few years ago. Maybe someday soon. I like the blacked out look.

Here's a little price set:
In the U.S.A Night Train costs 14.995 dollars
In Finland it costs 26.950.- euros (34.935 dollars)
And if you are livin' one year away from Finland you got the bike taxfree and it only cost you 20.118 dollars (15.520 euros).

Can you guess why i don't have one...

Prefer A-Body after 21 years i have owned A-Body- cars but someday...
i will get a Harley...
